*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“A heartbeat…I’ll take it…”

Dexter: Resurrection premiered on July 11th 2025 with the first two episodes available to stream on Paramount+ with Showtime. There will be ten episodes in total. The show stars Michael C. Hall, Jack Alcott, James Remar, David Zayas, Uma Thurman, Peter Dinklage, Krysten Ritter, and Eric Stonestreet. Each episode runs for approximately 52-55 minutes.

Dexter: Resurrection is the sequel to Dexter: New Blood, following up with Dexter waking up from a coma after his son shot him. He now tracks him down in New York City and begins to find new meaning in the code he has followed for so long.

Here is the trailer:

Dexter: Resurrection is the series fans have been waiting for, bringing Michael C. Hall back into the spotlight once again as our favorite serial killer with a conscience. Is it worthy of YOUR next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Cool guest stars and cameos!

The opening episode featured some terrific cameos. I was cheering in my seat! There were a few other faces I wanted to see, but I loved what I was experiencing so far and I really am enjoying the connections to the original series.

We have some stellar guest stars this time around and I can’t wait to see the rest of them.

Michael C. Hall eased back into the role of Dexter Morgan without skipping a beat. He has been excellent so far and I’m excited to see the progression of his character in this series.

The change in scenery is working!

Sure, I will always associate Dexter with Miami, but I have to say that I am enjoying him in New York City a lot more than I did with him upstate. The chaotic city is the perfect backdrop for him and I like that he seems a little unfamiliar with his surroundings, which will make following his code a little trickier this time around.

The Cons:

Weekly episodes.

It’s always been this way, but I’m anxious to watch more episodes and I hate that we have to wait each week for a new one to drop. The suspense may literally kill me!

Other than that, I don’t have any cons so far. The pacing is solid and I can’t wait to see the rest of the guest stars. The plot has so much potential and I’m looking forward to seeing it unfold with the next episodes.

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!

Dexter: Resurrection is everything I could have hoped for and more, reeling us in with a satisfying hook and exciting guest stars and cameos. 

I can’t wait to watch more!

Spoiler-Free Review of “Dexter: New Blood” on Showtime: The Dark Passenger Returns

*This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!*

“Tonight’s the night…”

Dexter: New Blood premiered on November 7th 2021. After the series finale in 2013, the show is back with ten new episodes that will air weekly. The show stars Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, Julia Jones and Jack Alcott. Each episode runs for approximately 52-55 minutes.

Ten years have passed since Dexter Morgan left his home in Miami, as he starts over as Jim Lindsay in upstate New York.

Here is the trailer:

Dexter: New Blood gives fans another chance to connect with their favorite serial killer as a different kind of monster emerges in a new setting. Does Dexter: New Blood do enough to make up for its disappointing series finale? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Michael C. Hall is as brilliant as ever.

Even though it’s been quite a long time since we have last seen Dexter Morgan on the small screen, Michael C. Hall makes us feel right at home. His portrayal of Dexter Morgan is still spot on to the point that you think he has truly been starting over his new life for the last ten years.

The voice-over narration still works and we now get a new dead relative for Dexter to bounce ideas off with which was a welcomed presence.

The potential to make things right.

Dexter is one of my favorite series of all time but I was thoroughly disappointed with the series finale. The new series can really set things right for our favorite character, but it needs to make sure it is balancing familiar connections and premises with something new and unique to keep things fresh. So far there is a lot of potential in the new series with different characters and a new mystery to keep us invested, but it needs to be careful about recycling old plots…

The Cons:

What’s really new with Dexter?

Sure, we have a brand new setting and new characters, but the plot seems all too familiar. I’m not really complaining because I love this plot, but the show needs to be very careful with how it proceeds.

There is a lot of talk about “change,” but so far the struggle seems all too familiar. We have nine more episodes to go so I’m hoping to truly see a change in our favorite character so that things can resolve in a satisfying way, but I’m also looking for something new and bold to shake things up. 

So am I in or out?

I’m in!

I have been anxiously waiting for this series to arrive and so far I am completely invested. It’s so great to see Michael C. Hall on the screen again and I’m confident that the series will present us with a worthy ending this time around!
