    Best episode by far

    Episode 6 of Dexter: Resurrection, the show has officially hit its stride - and "Cat and Mouse" is the proof. This episode isn't just good; it's vintage Dexter dialed up with a modern edge, the kind of tightly wound psychological thriller that made the original series unforgettable.

    The title "Cat and Mouse" is spot-on. The entire episode plays out like a deadly chess game between Dexter and his latest nemesis - and for the first time in a long time, you truly feel like Dexter might be outmatched. The pacing is relentless: every scene simmers with tension, and the writing pulls zero punches. There are no wasted moments. Every glance, every line, every move matters.

    Michael C. Hall is still magnetic, but what's really exciting is how much smarter the show feels. The stakes are personal again - not just physically, but psychologically. Dexter's mask is slipping, and what's underneath is darker than we've seen in years. We're watching a man who's fighting not only external threats but his own increasingly unstable instincts.

    Without spoiling anything, this episode delivers one of the most satisfying confrontations of the season so far. And the final five minutes? Edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath television. You know that old Dexter feeling - when your pulse quickens and you start whispering "don't get caught, don't get caught"? Yeah. That's back.

    If "Cat and Mouse" is the turning point of the season, then consider me hooked. It's a reminder that this series doesn't just know how to thrill - it knows how to haunt.

    Safe and Sound

    All I want for Dexter and his son was and is this piece and I hope that nothing changes from this piece at the end of the season and the writer doesn't shock us again. After all the misery that this father and son have endured, they deserve to rest and live a quiet life because their work has made the lives of many innocent people calm and comfortable, even if it looks a little bad.

    WHAT.A.TWIST

    It's been a very long time since I've experienced such a GREAT plot twist that none of us saw it coming. Maybe it was obvious for some people, but that ending cought me off guard, FOR REAL. Excellent, can't wait to see what happens after this. It's getting better and better each episode. By the way, the cinematics and production quality in this series is incredible too, we have to give production and visuals teams some credit.

    As Good as Episode 4

    After episode 5 pulled back a little with more filler, this newest episode proves that everyone involved with this revival is committed to delivering a true hearted and genuine tribute to long time Dexter fans. Each episode of Resurrection remains a spoonful of suspense that makes swallowing the previous Dexter endings a whole lot easier.

    This episode finally delivered a new twist not yet seen in the Dexter universe, and the expectations of this turn keeps the remaining episodes of the season at the very top of my list to watch closely.

    Trying my best to not spoil things, I found this episode to be almost as good as the dinner party in episode 4. This episode delivers some of those long buried flashes of Dexter's humanity, while still grazing the line of what can still be done new with his usual victims.

    AMMAZZINGGGG

    Such a nice episode, full of thrills! One of the best so far. The tension keeps rising with every scene-especially the way Dexter is trying to balance his new life while the past keeps catching up to him. Episode 6 does a brilliant job at building suspense, revealing just enough to keep you guessing, while also throwing in emotional layers that make the characters feel real and unpredictable. The stakes are higher, the pressure is real, and every small decision feels like it could unravel everything. Absolutely gripping from start to finish.
