Camera Shy

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.

Oh Scott Buck. How I have such a love/hate relationship with your work on Dexter.

As a writer, he penned some of the best, classic episodes of the OG series. And then, he became showrunner. I enjoyed season 6 more than most, but it still was a drop in quality compared to the first seasons. Then season 7 had a mix of strong and weak moments. And we don't talk about 8.

For the first time since season 8, he has written another episode, and it delivered!!

It felt like classic Dexter in all the best ways possible! Even the new characters are awesome! I'm so intrigued by almost every plot thread. Even little details like Harrison speaking Spanish help make the characters feel well thought out. A fantastic first two episodes of this season!

"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!

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.

It's so great after the awful and dismal 'New Blood' series to have the great Dexter (Michael C. Hall) humor back. It's also excellent to see that Harry Morgan (James Remar) is going to be prominently featured.

Clearly, this series is going to take place in NYC, although I had hoped it would return to Miami where Dexter belongs.

Dexter is making new friends in this episode and we meet Uma Thurman (Charley) and Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (Blessing Kamara).

Of course, Jack Alcott (Harrison) is also back which is why Dexter is in New York City.

With two episodes down, 'Dexter: Resurrection' is off to a good start and already much better than 'Dexter: New Blood.'
