Followed by Dexter: Resurrection (2025)
Miami, 1991. When his bloodthirsty urges can't be ignored any longer, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer with the guidance of his father, Harry.. Christian Slater is older than James Remar was when Dexter (2006) first aired..
I'm a big-time Dexter fan, through and through
Dexter (seasons 1-8) is the only series I rewatch all the time.Like Harry (according to Dexter), change is not easy for me.So when Dexter: New Blood came out, at first the change of scenery, the cold, the absence of some beloved cast members and the lack of humour and latin music were a huge disappointment to me. However, after watching it as a standalone show (with no comparisons to the original), it grew on me.Now, with this new show, of course we're not used to the new faces in the cast. We all remember the young Dexter, Deb and Harry to look different, even Laura Moser.However, I think it may be unfair to judge the casting as we're not in the shoes of the casting directors and producers.
(Bonus: I really like Christian Slater
I believe they had to consider many aspects besides just similar looks.Yes, we all wish that Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, James Remar and the rest of the original cast could magically play the younger versions of their own characters, but time only goes one way. He's awesome as always!)So far, after watching the first episode twice, I like it.
I believe you'll enjoy it!
I think everyone did a pretty decent job filling in those big Dexter shoes.I cannot deny, actually, the fact that I'm now even more excited to watch Dexter: Resurrection after getting a glimpse of Dexter being revived in the emergency room.In short, I think this show is cool and will probably grow on me even more with time.If you're a Dexter fan, go in with no specific expectations or judgment. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month. Check out our December calendar for more!
