This seems like the right balance of redemption and justice. Dexter should rot in jail and have to be exposed in court and poo poo, closure for his victims families, etc so I hope he doesn't get an easy way out via being murdered.

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.

I think the worst thing that could come out of this show is it becomes a hit and Showtime runs it into the ground again and has a lovely ending many seasons later. This will ultimately lead to a third revival series in ten years.

I'm predicting more of a Heroes Reborn scenario.

Just started this and "You look just like I remember." sorrt of nails it — like drat, Michael C. Hall, way to beat lymphoma and not look worse for wear.

This has been loving boring as an intro so far but with the line "He'll be safer with Hannah." the magic is back.

The actor playing Harrison is doing a good job being mad about how his biological didn't bother, at least given the alien dialogue he's got to work from.

So far one thing I like is that ghost Deb haunts Dexter and is a consequence for his actions, but I also sort of want trash mouthed Deb back.

Man... I finally watched that second episode and I've got such mixed feelings. There's some (not a lot) solid writing, they're avoiding some bad-showrunner pitfalls, and even though I was fearing Deb's return I think her potty mouth mocking Dexter is pretty entertaining... but I mean... come on...

Where the gently caress is the intro sequence?! Dexter is not Dexter without that music and breakfast-making intro sequence. Seriously. I'm practically ready to call it quits.

Also I really like the actor who plays the dead guy's father. He'll be fun to watch.

It only just occurred to me today - why did the girl locked in the murder room seem so comfortable and didn't question the sudden arrival of booze and nibbles?

Also, how did she not notice the lack of windows or door handle?

She was poisoned, and you get the feeling that these things (not the windows) were done incrementally.

Stay in a cheap hostel that had a windowless room. Drink champagne that is drugged. Pass out. Your body is carried to an identical room without a way to leave.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to connect all these missing people to they all stayed in the same room, unless the killer has built an identical town out in the woods.

It's going to be something stupid like this all takes place out at the campground where Harrison went to party with the other kids.

So apparently episode synopsis' can be read on Showtime's website, up to the eighth episode. Gonna put em here for anybody interested (spoiler marked of course).

3. Smoke Signals - Dexter hopes to have a chance to make things right with Harrison, which is proving to be tough to do when there’s a full-fledged crime investigation that Dexter himself has caused. Harrison joins the high school wrestling team and quickly makes a name for himself at school. Meanwhile, a true crime podcaster from LA arrives in Iron Lake and befriends Dexter’s police chief girlfriend.

4. H is for Hero - The father of the person whom Dexter killed makes a surprising announcement which could prove to be a huge problem for Dexter. Meanwhile, Dexter discovers Harrison was involved in a serious incident at the high school. And now this young newcomer is considered a hero to the entire town. Angela digs deeper into a missing persons case.

5. Runaway - Dexter’s method of protecting his son from drugs unleashes his Dark Passenger in a very impulsive way. Meanwhile Angela and Molly take a trip to New York City that leaves them wondering about a well-respected member of the community.

6. Too Many Tuna Sandwiches - Someone in Iron Lake has discovered Jim Lindsay’s secret identity, sending Dexter on the prowl to find out who it was. This pursuit leads him to realize that he might not be the only serial killer in town. Meanwhile Harrison spirals out of control during a wrestling match and Angela makes a dark discovery of her own.

7. Skin of Her Teeth - Dexter is worried that a serial killer may have set its sights on someone he cares deeply about. So, he turns from predator to protector… a role he’s not comfortable playing. Meanwhile Angela arrests someone from Iron Lake who may be the culprit of a cold case that is near and dear to her heart. Dexter and Harrison run into some more bumps in the road in their relationship, leading Harrison to turn to a very dangerous person as his father figure.

8. Big Game - Dexter fights for his life in the woods of Iron Lake, leading to a confrontation in an abandoned summer camp. Is there a better place for a serial killer to confront another violent killer? Harrison finds himself at a crossroads between two father figures who can lead him down two very different paths. Meanwhile Angela starts to make some disturbing discoveries of her own.

Lots of promising sounding stuff there, so I'm sure it'll end up boring as hell. How ridiculous are we betting Dexter's body count will be this year? I'm gonna guess about six.

The one thing I like is bringing in a true crime podcaster. Was hoping someone like that would show up and start making bold conclusions. The rest of it sounds pretty doofy, Harrison picking from another father figure, huh? That's gonna be convoluted as hell and the fact he is facing another serial killer makes me think Dexter will survive. Hopefully Angela discovering Dexter's past will lead him to jail since they're not going to have the badguy serial killer kill him. Or if he does, Dexter will die after he kills the serial killer or Harrison does and they'll talk as he dies.

So a few hours after learning there are cameras near the crime scene Dexter goes running around it. Good work.

Also my current guess is that the other killer is Dexters boss

Hahahahahaha.

For anyone else who read this and kinda raised their eyebrow for the same reason I did, I went back to take a couple screenshots from episode 2.



They actually are trying to misdirect the audience. Huh.
To explain: Initially I thought they were just giving away that the billionaire is the secret serial killer but it turns out these are 2 completely different computers, just shot at the same angle against the same wooden background to make you think it's the billionaire watching the trapped ladies. It's almost clever! That said I wondered how the scrawny billionaire was filling out so much of that stupid hunters getup. And while we're talking about that, I have to think none of the killer's "fun" is your typical "man is the most dangerous game" kind of hunting when that was the most boring "most dangerous game" hunt you could possibly have. Someone running away from you in a straight line with a scope and a laser sight... why even bother?

Also I laughed really hard at the funny parts of this new episode so I feel less bad watching. However, unfortunate :lol: that Harrison is a genius and also Super Teen. When he said "I guess I just don't care what people think about me" I half-expected the girl to say "That's hot..."

They also did something weird that might just be a production error where the hunter put on his whole get up and then the hand that opened the door was gloveless.

It does seem like they're hinting at a rich murder cult though; or something along those lines at least. Could always just be a red herring.

Yeah that or something like True Detective but handled with Dexters hamfisted flavour. "Oh you're going to search there... *gulp*" :ohdear:

It was nice to see the actors had mastered eating their food without furiously chopping a salad and the plate it was on. So many leaps and bounds of improvements in New Blood.
