DEXTER: NEW BLOOD SERIES REVIEW

Tonight’s the night. 9 years after the end of Dexter Morgan’s life in Miami and 8 seasons of one of the most successful and acclaimed Showtime series ever, the Dark Passenger has returned in this 10 part miniseries (and true final season). Dexter: New Blood follows the eponymous character effortlessly performed once again by Michael C. Hall as he gives into his inner need to kill. While once he was a blood splatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police, we find Dexter right where we left him after the woefully unimpressive series finale (sans mountain man beard) in the fictional small town of Iron Lake, New York, hiding as a clerk at a local sporting gear store. He has a new romantic relationship with the town’s chief of police and has been successfully suppressing his vigilante serial killing urges for nearly a decade. Deb has replaced their father Harry as the imaginary presence Dex often speaks to, and Dexter’s estranged son Harrison arrives unannounced with mysterious motives. Meanwhile, a string of incidents around Iron Lake causes Dexter to fear that the Dark Passenger within him, and potentially within his son, will reveal itself. Dogget, Spider-Mike, Ryan, and T.C. — all of them loving fans of the series at its best — take their chances with the return of Dexter Morgan with the hopes that it will make up for past mistakes. As they say, “We may be through with the past, but the past isn’t through with us.”

Danny Dogget (Screener Squad)

Hey persons, it’s your favorite canine Dogget! As many of you know, I don’t identify as a critic as much as a classy shock jock. That being said, I do my best to give all of you a well-balanced review filled with my true opinions and hopefully a few laughs. You can occasionally find me on other persons podcast like Mission Impodible (that’ll be 10 dollars Nathan). For the most part, you can find me doing reviews on Oneofus.net.

 

 

Michael Riojas (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)

The man with the ever-changing nicknames. Born in Austin, Riojas was rocketed to Del Rio, Texas, a literal small ville. In his youth, he was bitten by a radioactive… okay, look. Mike is not very good at this whole “talking about himself” thing.
