Miami, 1991
When his bloodthirsty impulses can no longer be ignored, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he goes from student to avenging serial killer with the guidance of his father, Harry. Christian Slater is older than James Remar was when Dexter (2006) first aired. Followed by Dexter: Resurrection (2025).
Of course I loved it
I’ve watched the original Dexter series – all seasons – I hate it, I admit – more than once. I watched New Blood – found it passable. Like many other fans, I thought the Freudian ending was, well, lame.
This prequel so far is much better in my opinion
Maybe it’s the familiar characters – I love that they’re all back and that the show isn’t straying too far from what we’d expect in that regard. Right down to Deb’s manhole cover and Masuka’s signature laugh. No, I’m not giving away spoilers to say that.
I’m looking forward to the rest of the episodes!
If you’re reading this review, you’ve seen the trailers a few times and had this date on your calendar. For me, the series got better as it went on. Update your watchlist with the latest selection of streaming movies and TV shows coming to Paramount+ this month.
