Camera Shy

I like the new direction we're going in, we start the episode off with an already sketchy uber ride. To no surprise the man turns out to be a serial killer. Dexter in NYC and checks in on his sons "kill room" fixes his mistakes cause the police are zeroing in. Then later when dexter is in a uber ride he learns about the murderer and we can already tell its going to be kill time in an ep or two. Charley is a new character were introduced to, well fully introduced since last episode and already she is full of surprises... Im guessing shes tied to this group or whatever that we saw in the trailer. Well look forward to next week, staying up this late I should catch some sleep.

Watching this feels a lot like watching the original Dexter, but now it's set in New York City instead of Miami. The atmosphere, the narration, and the main character's inner conflict all feel very familiar - it's almost like they just changed the location but kept the same blueprint. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though, because it brings back a sense of nostalgia for fans of the original series. It's interesting to see how the New York setting adds a slightly different vibe, with its crowded streets and darker corners, which makes some scenes feel fresh even if the overall formula stays the same. The writing and pacing were tight, and the lead actor does a good job capturing that same eerie charm. Overall, I thought it was a really solid episode that makes me curious to see where the season goes from here.

Three years after New Blood, it feels good to be back. The writers have skillfully tied things up after the seemingly hopeless end of S1E10 of New Blood. The first two episodes of Resurrection set the stage for a bright and promising return. The writing is sharp and intriguing-almost amusing-as it keeps the plot tight while launching us into a new chapter of this compelling universe. The showrunners of this universe also continue to experiment with new ways of filming, editing, and cinematography in general, which is something I appreciate dearly. Overall, great stuff so far, and I expect more of the same.

Have some patience folks, we're only getting started.

"If you were a serial killer in a hoodie, it could be you. "

"I don't wear a hoodie."

He's back, y'all!

It's not Miami, but he's legally Dexter again, and has the sardonic wit to match. It's good to see him have a project again, instead of trying to be all normal upstate. We also have daddy along for the ride. Buckle up!

If the premiere was about fan-service and course correction, "Camera Shy" is where the season's true plot kicks into gear, and it's fantastic. This episode felt like classic, prime Dexter in a way the franchise hasn't in years. The shift to New York City gives the show a fresh, vibrant playground for Dexter's activities.

The absolute best part of this episode is Dexter's seething, offended reaction to the new killer being dubbed "The Dark Passenger." Michael C. Hall's delivery of lines like "He stole my name!" and his deadpan "The what?" was comedic perfection. This is the dark, dry wit that was a hallmark of the early seasons, and it's back in full force.

Harrison's storyline is also a massive improvement over New Blood. He's more likable, and seeing him grapple with the guilt of his own violent act-while Dexter simultaneously investigates it-creates a compelling new dynamic. The parallel of Harrison's morning routine mirroring Dexter's original intro was a brilliant touch.

The central mystery is intriguing. A killer who seems to be Dexter's doppelgänger, and a mysterious, well-funded group led by Uma Thurman that may be a "league of serial killers," is a wild and promising concept. The only weak point is the new lead detective, who comes off as a stereotypical "savant cop" trope, complete with the quirky headphones-at-a-crime-scene bit that feels a little tired.

Overall, this episode was a huge success. It built on the premiere's energy, established a fascinating new conflict, and proved that even after all these years, watching Dexter on the hunt is still some of the most compelling television around.
