Dexter Resurrection (Season 10)

I just wish they weren't bringing Harrison back.

I don't care whether he gets killed off or just disappears into the ether. I just hate that smug face of his.

Also, him having a "dark passenger" doesn't really make sense to me. I know season 4-5, when Dex found him in Rita's blood he was concerned he would be damaged just like he was. But, Harrison was much younger, and was left alone for a couple of hours. Dex was left in the cargo container for days.

I just feel Harrison being like Dex has been squeezed in without too much thought(so like the later seasons of Dexter then).

6 weeks or there abouts to go.

Based on that. Errrrr less excited now than I was.

And I'll have to do a rewatch of New Blood first and suffer through that smug little face again.

A rewatch does have one major benefit.

seems like it's gonna be run of the mill killer meh.

No, what I get from that trailer is Peter Dinklage as a Billionaire is a collector of killers, and "somehow" finds out about Dexter and tries to add him to the collection. And Dex is all like "Oh, he gets me but does not judge me.. I could learn something from him".

Come to think of it, for a psychopathe, Dex can get very needy in the first couple of episodes of a season.

Watched the opening two episodes last night they were alright not great but good to see James James Remar back.

Good start, but then I remember New Blood started well.

Though I'm wondering where he gets all his money from.

That is one of a number of questions.

Really enjoyed the first two episodes. Based on the trailer, it's going to get better too.

You have a lot more faith than I do.

Same problems as the last season: too much of that drip Harrison, and associated ****, boring characters. Nobody cares about him. Nor the maid. Nor the detectives. Nor the hotel manager. It's such a drag when the focus is on him and his life.

That Uber driver friend of Dexter (Blessing?) is probably the worst actor the show has ever had. Cringy bad. Poor Michael C Hall. The show only shows glimpses of its past glories when Dex is doing what he is supposed to do, that is, hunting down serial killers. The last 15 minutes of episode 3 were good, and I'm looking forward to him taking on a group of serial killers, led by Dinklage and Thurman. If that was the show, it would be fantastic but of course they'll ruin it with Harrison and the kindly immigrants bullshit.

The look of the show is horrible too. Not bright and colorful like the original series, but quite drab and dreamlike (not in a good way). I get that it's not Miami, but still. It's New York, it's a bright, lively place, not some morose purgatory.

Also it's set in New York but it could be anywhere. They have not used the location at all in the storyline (probably because it was shot somewhere in Canada?) I was looking forward to Dex going beast mode in the Big Apple, prowling Manhattan, maybe chopping up a Wall Street hedge fund manager, or something like that. Hopefully the coming episodes will use New York better.

Considering the wife of his new landlord was able to find out he's from Miami and do a full background check for 75 dollars, if Dinklage's billionaire character doesn't have the wherewithal to do something similar then you would wonder how he became a billionaire in the first place.

As Artvandaley said:

Yes agreed.

It seems to be a fashion now, every scene is dark and gloomy. It really makes you miss the days of Dexter season 1. Bright, sunny scenes, upbeat music. "Tonights the night" showed Miami on date night, so bright lights. Showing the city that never sleeps like it's Gotham is kind of annoying.

I have to say, having been dubious and critical to begin with, I have to say Episode 4 is terrific. Still a few plot holes here and there, but overall very enjoyable.

One thing though:

I really hope the ones in charge of the serial killers know Dexter isn't who he says he is otherwise it makes them looks stupid. Are we to believe this secret group invited someone to join them without doing their research and at least know what the guy looks like. And the writers may want us to believe they look alike, but the differences are as plain as the nose on the guy's face.
