Summary
Reviewers say 'Dexter: Resurrection' has strengths including its dark tone, Michael C. Hall's performance, and nostalgic elements. However, it faces criticism for uneven pacing, predictable plotlines, and underdeveloped characters. The series is also faulted for excessive fan service and failing to match the original's complexity. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate its effort to revive the franchise and offer closure to Dexter's story.

He's Back
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.
Dexters back
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.

Glad they erased that awful ending on New Blood
I'm so glad the decided to bring Dexter back for Dexter: Resurrection because the way the ended New Blood was just awful. The original Dexter was absolutely, without a doubt, one of the best shows ever created. It's a thrilling, one of a kind TV show that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the entire series. Michael C. Hall is perfect as Dexter and the rest of the supporting cast is just as fantastic. Yes, the ending was terrible but like Game of Thrones, Lost (or any other show with a bad final episode), a few bad episodes at the end doesn't spoil what an overall great show it was and that's what Dexter is...a GREAT show! The ending was so bad they brought back Dexter: New Blood to give it a better ending. Problem is the ending to that was even worse. Now, we're back with Dexter: Resurrection and I love it. I can't get enough of Dexter. I've loved having Dexter back on my tv and this show is really good overall. It's definitely worth watching.
Love Dexter, let's hope they give it a proper ending this time
Dexter: Resurrection brings our favorite serial killer back and I'm here for it! I missed Dexter so much and was so excited to hear that it was getting revived for this series, especially with the way New Blood ended. Dexter is easily one of my favorite shows of all-time and one of the few shows I can watch all the way through several times over without getting bored. Dexter: New Blood was actually a pretty good show right up until the ending and Dexter: Original Sin was terrific from beginning to end. Now we have Dexter: Resurrection. So far it's the Dexter we've all come to love. I'd absolutely recommend this to any Dexter fans just to see Michael C. Hall back as Dexter. That's worth watching alone and again, the show itself is really good. Let's just all pray they don't botch the ending like they did with Dexter and New Blood.
SEASON 1 VIBES
Dexter: Resurrection is a thrilling return to form. The writing is sharper than ever, the atmosphere is intense, and Michael C. Hall delivers a flawless performance. The story honors the original while bringing fresh twists that keep you hooked. A must-watch for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
The series has the potential to be the best season ever, the cast is incredible, and the quality compared to the previous seasons is insane.
The pacing is spot on, the tension builds with every episode, and every detail feels carefully crafted. Finally, a series that manages to reinvent itself without betraying its roots.
