Backseat Driver

Once again, as with the first two episodes, I'm struck by how much the fun and the funny are back. Perhaps because they were so lacking in the dreadful 'New Blood.' Even Michael C. Hall seems to be having a much better time-I know Dexter is!

So far, so good, no extremely annoying Deb (Jennifer Carpenter). Instead, we get a lot of screen time from the very enjoyable Harry (James Remar). Even Jack Alcott (Harrison), whom I could not stand in 'New Blood,' is born-again watchable. Newcomer Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (Blessing Kamara) is a delight. The only clunker is Kadia Sarah (Det. Claudette Wallace). The character is something out of a Russian spy movie and would never, ever be a NYC detective. Unfortunately, the actress is as annoying as the character.

Then, when it couldn't get any better, we take a trip back to Miami and meet up with Angel (David Zayas), Quinn (Desmond Harrington) and Masuka (C. S. Lee).

I tried the last two versions, not for me. New Blood probably should be watched if you're going to watch this one, but it's not really necessary. Dex has a kid, he follows him, the kid shot him, he didn't die. That's about all anyone need know from New Blood. It was tough to watch. Not true Dexter in the way fans of the original enjoyed him. Original Sin didn't work for me either. Rehashing characters as younger versions after they did most of it in flashbacks on the Original felt like a waste. BUT This??? This is a revival for the ages. Imagine GOT after Jon Snow came back, but the show got better. So far, so great. The build up is phenomenal. And the return characters??? I actually screamed when I saw who's coming back. The last time I had this high of anticipation of waiting till next week for a show to come on was the Original. Keep up the good work. See you Sunday!!!

The show has been off to an amazing start. It feels like watching the old Dexter again. New blood made him look sloppy, stupid, make a lot of mistakes and completely go against the Dexter we knew. Resurrection is putting things back to how they should be. Smart characters making smart decisions. Characters making mistakes and doing things that make no sense is just a lazy way for writers to get themself out of a box. This show goes back to what made Dexter an amazing show. Cold, calculated and smart. The reunion of the legacy characters was also great and sets up what will be inevitable later on in the season. Just an excellent episode and excellent start to the show so far.

In this episode, he really shined and got the hang of using his own name. I think he did well. He will meet new serial killers and I wonder what will happen. I hope it will be very good this season. I liked this Dexter series, it is very good actually. But Dexter is an iconic series, they are doing a great job, I am waiting for it too, when will Brain Moser come out, there will be 1 or 2 episodes, it will be 1 hour full with Dexter.

"Episode 3 of Dexter: Resurrection solidifies the season's momentum with intense suspense and masterful storytelling. Every scene is meticulously crafted, keeping viewers fully engaged and on edge. Michael C. Hall delivers a brilliant performance, perfectly portraying Dexter's complexity, intelligence, and inner conflict. The writing is sharp, balancing dramatic tension with intricate character development, making each moment meaningful. Cinematography and direction enhance the storytelling, turning each scene into a visually striking and emotionally charged experience. This episode demonstrates why Dexter's revival continues to captivate and impress audiences worldwide. 10/10."
