Where Dexter Left Off
Before engaging in the resurrection, let’s recount where Dexter Morgan’s journey has taken us.
The original Dexter series (2006-2013) captivated millions with its combination of dark psychology and captivating storytelling. Nevertheless, the series finale in Season 8 left fans very polarized, many of whom now feel a higher level of discontent with pretending to be dead while he “disappears” into oblivion.
Then comes New Blood (2021), a revival series that aired on Showtime and greeted audiences as a “soft reboot.” This revival series was better received and ended with a final, poetic tragedy: his son Harrison killed him— a satisfying conclusion!
