The return of Dexter in “Dexter: New Blood” has been met with both excitement and skepticism. Fans of the original series welcomed the chance to see the titular character in a new setting, with Michael C. Hall’s performance continuing to be a standout. The introduction of Dexter’s son, Harrison, adds depth to the narrative, exploring the dynamics of their strained relationship. However, some viewers felt the storyline could be predictable at times, lacking the fresh twists that the original series was known for. Visually, the snowy landscapes of Iron Lake provide a stark contrast to the sunny Miami setting, offering a new aesthetic appeal. Despite its flaws, the show maintains a strong sense of suspense and intrigue, making it a compelling watch for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike.
