Serves me right for giving the OG show too much credit. Of course it was stupider than that.

Oh my god it just keeps getting dumber and dumber. So we ended the last episode thinking he threw Matt's remains in the lake. No, turns out he put his body IN THE FIRE PIT ON HIS OWN loving PROPERTY. Also the person watching the camera is so obviously Clancy Brown, cause we can't have an antagonist just be someone who poses a threat to exposing Dexter. Nah, they gotta be killers too. Jesus loving Christ this is bad. Are we sure Scott Buck isn't wearing a Clyde Philips skin suit?

Basically upstate New York. This makes it funny to me, as a Canadian, since they depict it as this freezing winter wilderness that is like, ten degrees south latitude from where I am. They are up in heavy rear end jackets and it is like -5 out. Max. It is colder than that here now, and it isn't even winter yet. I went shovelling in my t-shirt this morning, you goddamn baby.

This wasn't a filler episode, though, Dexter massaged the crime scene and followed the police investigation and we saw more from the kidnapped girl and some Dexter and Harrison stuff and a little drama with the girlfriend and her daughter, and found a new unwitting antagonist in Clancy Brown. I don't think they're gonna fall into a murder-of-the-week cycle again, if that was what you were expecting, this series is probably just gonna be about this little town and Dexter and Harrison, and the fallout from this murder and whatever is going on with the kidnapped girls. I dunno guys, I kinda like it so far. It's a little dumb, but it's fun and compelling and they really did slip right back into the old Dexter feel without missing a beat. It's like night and day compared to some of the other years-later revivals like Arrested Development where they just can't quite capture what made the older seasons tick. e: I also like Ghost Deb as a way of showing just how hosed up Dexter is underneath the surface -- schizophrenia (schizophrenia?) seems a lot more scary when you're hallucinating about a loved one raging and screaming at you instead of a nice calm old man to talk to.

It’s amazing how much restraint they showed last week with the voice over but now they’re all in. Dexter has his own Black Phillip. I hope they keep coming back to this letter in each episode and each new passage will reveal something so stupid. clown shoes fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Nov 14, 2021 |

Ghost Deb just making fun of Dexter while he scrambles to cover up his tracks was genuinely good fun and in fact I would be happy with a whole episode that was just her making fun of every single sloppy decision he makes in season 1-8

I wasn't expecting murder of the week, but the pacing just seemed slow. Could've used a subplot about the annoying boy scout deputy

That was pretty good. Given how loving stupid the s8 finale was I think they've done a good job salvaging a coherent storyline out of it.

I'm liking it so far, I really am. Especially glad they used the original outro theme as they had been hinting at some original soundtrack themes previously. Pick apart the show all you like, the music was always great

Slamhound posted:This touches on something that's always bothered me about Dexter. From what I understand of serial killers, there's usually a sexual component to their urges, but this show has always worked very hard to strip that from Dexter's personality. Certainly in the first season where he barely seems to understand what sex even is in his relation with Rita, and then more directly when he has the woman cop on his table and he says "Nobody's getting raped!". Dexter's dark passenger is just the hosed up brainwashing Harry put him through. Harry caught his son killing animals, and rather than doing anything a sane father would do, told his son that his brain had been transformed as a baby into a Serial Killer Brain, that he had no choice but to become a serial killer, and then trained him to become a serial killer. Harry is a monster.

Show isn't that bad so far, but does everyone forget that Dexter seasons always start this way? Usually the first 3 or 4 episodes sets some interesting things up but it crashes and burns by the end. Most of that is due to plot armor though so we will see if the writers actually have some balls to do something different.

nooneofconsequence posted:"Whoops! Forgot the blood trail that led from my house all the way back to the scene of the murder" is peak Dexter. That half-assed cover-up attempt is one of those things where you're pissed off they even brought it up. Set up that the cops are going to find it as the cliffhanger and then Dexter driving over the blood spots is a 100% foolproof way of making them go away. The 80 cops never spot them and nothing comes of it at all.

Dexter managed to cover two blood spots before the entire police force and volunteers showed up and not one saw the blood spots next to his house as they started mulling around? Dexter is back baby!
