Dexter is a story of a man who indulges in his desire to kill through vigilante justice, particularly shining in its early seasons with compelling storytelling and strong performances. Following a downturn in quality after Season 4, the series ended poorly in 2013. The revival, Dexter: New Blood, generated cautious optimism by evolving the narrative to upstate New York and introducing new characters, ending with a strong conclusion. The latest installment, Dexter: Resurrection, provides an enjoyable experience but conflicts arise due to its undermining of New Blood's resolution.
The series is a tale of a man with an insatiable desire to kill, channeling that into vigilante justice as a release. The early seasons showcase peak TV storytelling with subtle acting and strong visual motifs, especially the award-winning performance by Michael C. Hall.
After the incredible high of Season 4, the series quality rapidly declined, resulting in some of the worst television in history until it ended in 2013.
When the series returned in 2021 for Dexter: New Blood, fans were cautiously optimistic, and it moved the story to upstate New York while introducing a new villain and Dexter’s son, Harrison.
Dexter: Resurrection is described as fun and pulpy, offering clever twists on the original formula. However, it raises conflict as it undermines the strong sendoff of New Blood.
