We’re so back with Dexter Resurrection. #dexterresurrection Dexter is alive. Yes, he’s alive. Don’t ask me how — just accept that the man who survived eight seasons, a reboot, and even a frozen lake has now escaped death again. The scene where Dexter talks to Trinity’s ghost in the hospital? That was like, “Hey old trauma, long time no see!” It was such a gut punch of nostalgia mixed with fresh darkness. And Harrison? That rebellious kid is running wild in New York, still thinking covering up a murder is like tidying up the house.
The first episode? It delivered everything: nostalgia, blood, guilt, and that twisted dark humor only Dexter can pull off. I missed Debra cursing, but if this keeps up, I’ll forgive every misstep until the very end of New Blood. He kind of changed the course of TV history with the line “Surprise motherfucker” — classic Dexter energy.
Like father, like son. After so many years, to see your favorite character again is just… 😢😢😢😢❤️❤️❤️❤️. I love you, Dexter Morgan. And can we talk about the OG cast? All the original characters back!!! The writers must have a secret contract forcing them to write annoying female cops because that new female cop got on my nerves in 15 seconds flat.
Also, I wish they’d kept that vibrant color scheme from the original show — this new unsaturated grey everywhere makes me sad. We’re off to a good start though! Seeing so many OG actors felt amazing. But man, Debra was my favorite. Too bad Jennifer Carpenter didn’t want to come back even for a second. The show won’t be the same without her. ❤️🩹
Fun fact: Dexter’s birthday is the same as Michael C. Hall’s. Lil bro needs to stop acting so suspicious. Dexter now drives a ride-hailing app. That’s it. TV’s biggest serial killer is now a driver and investigator—like Sherlock Holmes with Wi-Fi and a low app rating. One episode featured a case about a driver-killing driver, and Dexter trying to catch the maniac while listening to passengers complain about traffic. I wasn’t sure whether to laugh at the tension or the absurdity. And the craziest part? Dexter thinking about whether he’s going to kill or not… since when did you become indecisive, Dexter? But that cool, calm, “nothing fazes me” vibe when he’s cleaning a crime scene is still there. Love it.
It’s a crazy world — even Dexter Morgan is better at making friends than me. There’s only one DARK PASSENGER, 🔥. When you find the house of your dreams and it’s already perfectly furnished to your style — 😂.
My goodness, it’s only episode 2 and I’m already enjoying this season way more than New Blood. Dexter’s starting to make friends. He has a serial killer on his radar. He’s changing up his ways (which makes sense, coma changes you). He’s covering up for Harrison and Angel is looking for him. The writers packed all of this in just two episodes. Plus, Uma Thurman’s character is probably the antagonist since she works for someone covering serial killers. What else do I need besides Showtime releasing the whole season at once?
I swear, if someone told me Dexter was going to use a human finger as a pass to a secret cannibal party, I’d say, “Normal.” This episode was pure elegant chaos. The guy’s still behind the wheel, solving crimes and figuring out if his son is a serial killer or just a moody teenager. The detective is already on Harrison’s tail, and I’m just waiting for the first meltdown. Dexter remains cold, calculating, and mysteriously charming. The series is sharper than the scalpel in the Miami lab. Honestly, I’m rooting for Dexter to have a breakdown and become the Hannibal of Generation Z.
Michael C. Hall was born to play Dexter. The way he owns the role with such ease and confidence is insane. Maybe it’s nostalgia talking, but I’m really loving this comeback. The move to New York did the show some good. Harrison’s grown up too — way more likable than in New Blood. People say Dexter had two bad endings, but the truth is — it never really ended. And honestly? That might be the perfect strategy. How can something that never ends have a bad ending? 😅
P.S. — We want the classic look back. Where’s the green shirt? “And there’s only room in this world for ONE dark passenger.”

I’m honestly shocked how much I’m enjoying Dexter: Resurrection. The nostalgia hits hard, but the new twists, the New York vibe, and Michael C. Hall’s magnetic performance make it something special. Harrison’s growth, the dark family drama, and the subtle humor all remind me why I fell in love with this show years ago.
