    A Strong and Logical Return with Minor Flaws

    The premiere episode of Dexter: Resurrection delivers a convincing explanation for Dexter's survival, grounding the story in a plausible medical scenario. The emotional core, focusing on Dexter's concern for his son Harrison, is compelling, though Harrison's psychological depth remains underexplored.

    The pacing suffers slightly from Dexter's rapid recovery, which feels rushed. The New York setting and the police investigation add fresh tension and complexity, while the return of familiar characters enriches the narrative.

    Visually, the episode maintains a dark, stylish tone consistent with the original series. Overall, it's a promising start that sets up intriguing conflicts, though further character development-especially of Harrison-is needed to fully engage the audience.

    I enjoyed it.

    While I cannot assert that I possess an exhaustive and all-encompassing array of thoughts or reflections to convey, I feel a compelling need to share my genuine gratitude for the outstanding acting performances that were prominently featured in this specific episode. The entire episode unfolded in an inviting and cozy atmosphere that resonated deeply within me, effectively transporting me back to a nostalgic realm and evoking memories of the overall vibe and tone that are characteristic of the beloved show Dexter, which has undoubtedly held a cherished position in the hearts of countless viewers over the years. Moreover, I am absolutely ecstatic to announce the exhilarating news that the character Dexter, in all his prime and unmistakable glory, has made a truly spectacular and triumphant return to our screens! This revival of the series not only notably succeeds in encapsulating the very essence of what initially made the original show so compelling and engaging, but it also introduces an extra layer of excitement and anticipation that captivates audiences far and wide. This revival resonates deeply with those long-time fans who have been loyally following the series since its inception, eagerly looking forward to each and every development, while simultaneously extending a warm and welcoming invitation to new viewers who are just beginning their thrilling journey of delving into its captivating and intricate storyline!

    Good First Episode!

    The first episode ended up being better than I expected. Loved the long anticipated reunion between Dexter & Batista and how it was handled. The hallucinations didn't feel forced & it was nice to see a brief callback to some old characters in them. At the end of New Blood, I wasn't a fan of Harrison like most people. But in this show, I see some potential for a good story involving him & Dexter. We get introduced to some of the new characters as well. I'm not sure how to feel about them right now but time will tell as more episodes release. NYC feels like a great place to tell more Dexter stories so I'm looking forward to seeing where this story will take us!

    He's back

    10/10 fireeeeee 🔥🔥🔥.. he's back. Episode 1 of Dexter: New Blood (Resurrection) is a brilliant return to form. It masterfully revives the chilling charm of Dexter Morgan while introducing a fresh, snowy setting that contrasts perfectly with his dark past. The pacing is tight, the writing sharp, and Michael C. Hall slips back into his role like he never left. There's a satisfying tension between his new peaceful life and the lurking urge to kill again. The cinematography is beautiful and haunting, and the reappearance of old habits keeps viewers hooked. It's a gripping, emotional, and suspenseful start that promises a powerful season ahead.
