Plot
Miami, 1991
When he can no longer ignore his bloodthirsty urges, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he goes from student to vengeful serial killer under the guidance of his father Harry. Christian Slater is older than James Remar was when Dexter (2006) first aired. Followed by Dexter Resurrection (2025).
I actually liked it a lot
I was prepared to dislike this Dexter reboot because Dexter: New Blood was awfully bad. Awful! But to my great surprise, I liked it.
The new cast is solid
Patrick Gibson is very believable as young Dexter, as is Molly Brown as the obnoxious Deb. Alex Shimizu plays Vince Masuka perfectly, even the goofy laugh. Christian Slater (Harry) lacks James Remar’s charm, but it’s only the first episode.
Hall is also back, as the narrator, but he doesn’t sound like he used to
Tom Matthews isn’t there, instead we get a new character (Captain Aaron Spencer) played by Patrick Dempsey. Michael C. Unlike what I thought would be a one-off, I’m excited to see the rest of this latest Dexter incarnation.
