I was very sceptical at first when I heart about this new series. I was thinking that they would just try to grab some cash just by having a show related to Dexter.

But after have watched five episodes, I must admit i get some Dexter vibes. Actually a lot of Dexter vibe.

I have some minor complaints, but they are not that big of a deal so far. My 9/10 MIGHT be because I was so sceptical and was expecting a garbage show. So, my rating might be a bit inflated.

And, as a final not, I GUESS, just hearing MCH narrating it all helps a lot of getting me into the Dexter vibe.

But so far. I think the cast is good, storyline is good. And most importantly, the young Dexter actor and writing is VERY good.

The movie is decent. However, since I have read the book, It felt like the movie in the beginning just checked all the major boxes that were in the book in order for the story to rush forward. I have a hard time to belive that people not having the book feel much for the characters at the beginning. Some "scary" stuff placed here and there but they are not really scary. Not horrible by all means though.

The pushers were portrayed badly. Women (and some of the men) were supposed to be cool, and they talked in a whisperish seductive voices that made me think they would fit very well in a twilight movie as some sexy vampire or something like that. I was hoping for a bit menacing feeling, but when they also added some soft music to their scene it felt very off....

The ending was ok, they took their time with some of those scenes which was nice.

Decent movie if you have nothing else to watch. But it could have been pretty damn good if several aspects were improved a bit. The Knot gang did not work for me at all, and i would have prefered they have taken their time on some of the scenes and maybe cut some out. Maybe better music score (apart from the ones that were actually reused ofc :)

After seeing some nuggets here and there during the last season, but having the overall feeling they more or less have lost the sunny edge I am so happy and very surprised season 14 actually brings back life to sunny! During these first episodes the gang seem to be themselves again. What more is there to say? This season got much more of a flow to it. I enjoy the whole show and not just some scenes and lines like it was during the last season. I am as impressed as I am happy! I will not give any more specific comments regarding this episode. Just watch it.
