Dexter: Resurrection

I knew it was going to have the best comeback ever.. i have goosebumps, this is my childhood show, my first tv show ever, it's in my blood.. it's so good. I can't say too much even if i feel so much, i feel alive again.. i don't know it's hard to explain in words, you just feel it in your bones, that old emotion, the fire in the soul, the need, it's like you just reunited with your best friend after a long time of not seeing with each other. I'm already used to the writing, the creators of the show are just pure geniuses.. they never disappointed, this show is the best show on television, i love it, we are back, TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT!

The show is very great it shows alot about dexter and also gives plot to new characters which I love. I've also seen alot of Dexter's old habits of having a big appetite, seen in dexter new blood. The plot line isn't confusing and actually makes sense and it follows up straight from the go and we got to see alot of characters from the original dexter show which is nostalgic and at the same time amazing to see that they are giving what the fans want. Overall the show is great and imo better then dexter new blood. I really hope to see another season of this masterpiece, even though I think there will be 2 more seasons it's just great to see another amazing show giving what the fans need and at the same time following the plot and story line.

I didn't even know they were making this show, till I saw it on my tv tonight. I was so hyped and instantly watched both episodes! After only two episodes, all the crap done in New Blood to mess up the story has already been erased and the feel of the original show is BACK!!! The suspense, the music, the dialogue with Harry; and a few great cameo appearances! I can't wait to see how the story(ies) unfold and how (Hopefully) Dexter doesn't mess everything up because the writers don't know how to not mess up a great story! It's midnight here and I want to watch more more more! Sunday can't come soon enough.

When I say dexters back I mean back like we wished they would do. Obviously you know he is back but I mean in all of its glory and more. I have never been so happy for a reboot while so happy about the results of it. There's no way you reading this and don't already know and came here to give it's approval. From the biggest fan boy to the biggest thanks to the team and of course Michael c. Hall. I hope they never play a stupid stunt with his character again. He should be doing this for Another 7-9 seasons. Can't wait to start rewatching this season like I did all my other favorite seasons. The dokes season/ Bay harbor butcher (less the gross debs and old guy thing that makes my skin crawl to this day. Slimy spit filled kisses *barf face). The Lumen season 5.. so on. I can Invision myself now being able to enjoy new blood knowing they were not trying to replace Dexter with a rebellious piss and vinegar hot topic tween dexter wannabee. What a silly mistake those writers had in doing that before Dexter (Michael) and the fans injected the producers with reality and some smelling salts.

I hate waiting for Thursday's midnight to watch Friday's release of new episodes. Let's keep are fingers crossed they do over 12 episodes for this season. Or go even full savage mode and give us summer and winter season releases of seasons like game of thrones did randomly.

I hope producers read our approval of their work. They should consider even doing a side story and a different intersecting show like a multiverse where the come to get her with Lumen who dexter trained and is alive and ready to be written into her own vigilante serial killer show following Dexters Code because once she got the taste for blood she couldn't stay away in the mundane marriage life she went back to. The name of the show could be the blood is calling or something. Convos and winks of Dexter doing work as she trys to one day catch up to him. It could spawn a whole never ending legacy. Crime junkies everywhere who watch serial killer documentaries and know of the not so known or famous female serial killers in history. Would just be a fresh spin where we see the types of killers she stalks the rough they eyes of a female. The writers/ producers of this show could really open up a new world of TV serie creation not yet done.

Guess we'll have to stay tuned.

Dexter: Resurrection marks the third revival of the iconic Showtime series, and surprisingly, it's the most satisfying since the Trinity Killer arc. Picking up weeks after New Blood, Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) awakens from a coma in a New York hospital, having miraculously survived being shot by his son, Harrison. From there, the show dives into familiar territory - but with a fresh setting, sharper writing, and a darker emotional core.

Michael C. Hall is magnetic as ever. This isn't the Dexter of Miami Metro or Iron Lake - he's older, more haunted, and emotionally raw. Hall brings a tempered intensity to the role, balancing sardonic wit with genuine pathos. His internal monologues are back, but they're more reflective, less performative. The show leans into Dexter's weariness, making his return feel earned rather than forced.

The New York setting is a smart move. The city's anonymity and chaos offer Dexter both cover and temptation. He takes up work as a rideshare driver, blending into the urban sprawl while quietly hunting predators. The cinematography captures the grit and pulse of the city, and the soundtrack - featuring moody tracks like Nick Cave's "Red Right Hand" - adds to the show's eerie atmosphere.

The supporting cast is stacked. Peter Dinklage plays Leon Prater, a billionaire with a twisted obsession for serial killers. Uma Thurman is his enigmatic enforcer, Charley - cool, lethal, and captivating. Guest stars like Krysten Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and David Dastmalchian play members of a secret society of killers, each bringing a unique flavor to the chaos. Their scenes are some of the most entertaining and disturbing in the series.

Jack Alcott returns as Harrison, now working as a bellhop in Midtown. His arc is quietly heartbreaking - a young man trying to outrun his father's legacy while slowly succumbing to the same darkness. His scenes are filled with tension and emotional weight, especially as he begins to show signs of inherited trauma and compulsive behavior.

Angel Batista (David Zayas) also returns, adding a nostalgic yet foreboding presence. His pursuit of Dexter adds a layer of suspense that longtime fans will appreciate. The tension between old friends turned adversaries is palpable, and it's clear Batista won't let go easily.

Showrunner Clyde Phillips, who helmed the best seasons of the original series, brings a steady hand to Resurrection. The writing is tighter, the pacing more deliberate. The show doesn't shy away from its past - it embraces it, flaws and all. It's self-aware, occasionally pulpy, and often emotionally resonant.

Yes, there are plot conveniences and moments that stretch believability. But Dexter has always thrived in that space between logic and lunacy. What matters is that the story feels alive again - messy, macabre, and meaningful.

Final Verdict: 10/10 Dexter: Resurrection is a bold, bloody, and brilliantly executed revival. It honors the original while carving out something new. Whether you're a longtime fan or just diving in, this season is a must-watch. Dexter's back - and he's never been sharper.
