I wrote about this after the first episode, and it still bothers me.
Timeline : If this reboot is taking place 10 years after Dexter left Florida and his son Harrison was only 4 years old back then he should only be 14 now. So, why does he look, act, and talk as if he's 18 - or older?
EDIT: a little research shows that the actor who plays Harrison is 22 y/o irl... ha ha!!
He talks about being put in multiple foster homes, as a teenager, after Hannah died; he talks about traveling all over the place to find Dexter; he talks about finally finding him, but doesn't actually explain just how he did it - or where he's getting the money to pay for his travels and search.
Then Dex's girlfriend talks about getting him registered for high school and getting him prepped for college entrance exams. Does the question of how old his is even come up? No!
It seems as though the writers of this reboot didn't even watch the original series - or if it is the same writers of the original, then they forgot some critical timeline points.
Other stuff : The women in this show are annoying as hell!
The girlfriend talks in this breathy whisper most of the time - annoying... Debra yells like a screaming banshee most of the time - also annoying... The teenage daughter - who also looks about 25 - is an obnoxious twit!
Overall, this "New Blood" just fails on way too many levels for me to be interested- or to continue watching.
Oh yeah, who the hell is the champagne drinking chick Lily, who's locked up in the room? Did I miss something?
EDIT: A quick rewatch showed me she was the "lost kid" in the bar who was ordering a hamburger; her scene lasted less than thirty seconds and if you blinked, you missed it... so, how does she fit in?
