Discussion: Season 1, Episode 1 Join the Discussion
268The cast is just a piece of candy, and Michael's voice is off-screen 🥹
But here "the pilot" pleases, there is also a similarity between the main character and Michael, the younger versions of colleagues are also pleased. And Debra turned out to be nothing like that. But it's too early to say that everything will be fine.
I've been trying to remember the whole episode what Harry looked like in the original, but I couldn't because Slater fits in perfectly.
They're the same people, but they're young…
Deb the original: height 1.74, slim, looks young
, but this one has 1.6, figure, sorry, body positive, looks older than the original and even Dexter, who himself looks a little overgrown for the 20-year-old version
It's a pity that in the end it didn't come out " exactly like "
at some point, when watching, there were memories of words from the original Dexter that Debra was plump as a child, but this is no longer the childhood when you can stretch out, but I will be glad if they specially fed her to dry her in future seasons
Special respect for the soundtrack and the general preservation of artistic style.
In the Young Sheldon, the atmosphere was more intimate, and the characters as a whole turned out to be much more funny (and most ironically, Sheldon was the most boring of them).
* nevertheless, I will not say that it will be the same with Dexter, after all, Dexter had most of the main series was good
On the other hand, the details of the events shown have not been disclosed, so why not?
God, thank you that Dexter's story lives on after so many years. 🫶
But I don't remember, did Dexter's original mention that Harry's son drowned before Dex was adopted?
The cast is bombastic, Christian Slater in the most
The characters and the department were very well conveyed. I remember the mention of the nurse from the original, they worked very well. I wonder how Dexter will come to dismemberment and throwing the remains into the ocean, but it turned out beautifully with crocodiles ...
I liked that Hall was shown, in the beginning the doctors saved him, and not an abstract body. And now, according to the law of the genre, Dexter will open his eyes in the finale - and we will get a continuation of the original.
Of course, I'm looking further, personally I'm delighted.
The series "Dexter: Resurrection" will be released in June 2025
In the sequel to New Blood, Dexter can reunite with his son Harrison and Angela.
The creator of the Dexter franchise, Clyde Phillips, confirmed that the series "Dexter: Resurrection" will be released in June 2025. It will be a continuation of "New Blood". Dexter Morgan, played by Michael S. Hall, can reunite with his son Harrison and Angela.
On December 13, the first episode of the prequel "Dexter: Original Sin" was released. It revealed that Dexter survived the finale of the series "Dexter: New Blood" (2021). After the launch of the novelty, Clyde Phillips shared details about the "Resurrection". According to him, filming will begin in January. The premiere will take place in June. The author's words are quoted by Discussion Film:
"Since we showed it at the beginning of the series [Original Sin], we can move on to Resurrection. We will start filming Resurrection in the first week of January, and it will air in June 2025."
But there must be a lot of Hall in the frame, otherwise no one will watch it.
Well, Christian Slater is the cherry on the cake. What else do you need? Enjoy ^^
It is clear that the creators are trying very hard: the characters may not all look very similar, but the temperament and those features that we are used to seeing in the images are clearly visible. Maybe it's not really cool, because the actors have to act out the specific behavior of another actor, BUT: I'm interested, I'm pleased, I like the references, and as for the first series — it's GENERALLY WONDERFUL!))
What can we say about the fact that we were shown Michael S. Hall, that he (has not yet) died and therefore we can cross out the stupid ending of season 9, in which this woodpecker shot the maniac dad-who-can-understand-him-better-than-anyone else!
I see messages here that Dexter's Resurrection is being teased. Honestly, it sounds so good and desirable that I'm AFRAID to believe it: what if they're doing this so that we don't know how this season with young Dexter will end, and ours will eventually die in the end?
I will hope and cherish dreams of a sequel for the 10th season of our Dex, but in the meantime, a very good prequel is threatening! Yuhhu! I watched the series myself excitedly when it was released a long time ago, so it will be unusual to wait for an episode for a whole week) Yuyuhuu! ))))
But Debra is just terrible. She doesn't look like it at all, the actress plays poorly, she doesn't feel the character at all. I hope it plays out further and it will be better.
The screensaver is cool. I probably would like to see exactly how Dexter came up with his own style, but here, right from the first time, everything is as we used to. I know that Harry wrote a code where everything is spelled out, but it's still too smooth for the first time.
How many times has the showrunner returned to the exes
I'm not even talking about the disgusting introduction with the cheapest CGI, which would have been a shame to use in the noughties (what kind of cartoon car was that?).
The extremely lazy approach pisses me off: young Masuka and young Debra behave stupidly in the same way as in the original. Well, that is, she is already swearing and hysterical, he is already creeping up on the chicks. Have they changed in any way in 10 years? Well, you could have thought of something more elegant, no? Maybe Masuka could still be a shy nerd? Or would Debra still be shy to express herself in front of strangers and apologize for the f-word herself in the hospital?
Baptiste has only been briefly shown so far, but he, apparently, will stupidly copy himself from the original (was the man bald all his life and walked in Hawaiian shirts? Why is he wearing that stupid hat now? according to rofl, they would have made him a gorgeous head of hair, for example). Dexter is also not very different from an adult (he just doesn't kill so well).
Such a superficial, maximally dubious attitude towards the characters immediately sets you up for a negative. And the quality is uneven: sometimes the picture is stupidly top, and sometimes it's like watching a cheap soap drama (a police briefing or the aforementioned introduction).
But there's no need to hide it, I'll still watch [and spit]. The main cast is not bad, and it's nice to return to the good old bloody Miami, especially in the middle of winter. I hope that every episode will bring cool "maniacs of the week ", as in the first seasons
I was afraid of a lot, but.. Well done.
Young Dexter is perfectly matched, Debra is good, you believe in all this.
And the plot is quite in the spirit of the original, no sudden turns.
Deb is terrible. Masuka is stupid.
GG - good, well done. It is interesting to look at the young Baptiste. Buffy is strange, so far nothing is clear about her.
But neither Dexter nor his father look like the characters we know. I'm not talking about looks.
And the series plays on our memory of the original. So far, everything is bad. It's not the same for a pilot. But if you like Young Sheldon after TBV, then you'll probably like this one too.
It's good that at least they didn't forget about his fighting skills.
The rules in the code are not, "do not kill, " and "do not kill innocent people. That is, to kill only murderers who escaped punishment, to act within the framework. Harry was just in favor of justice, and he decided to direct Dex's abilities in such a useful direction. And Dexter was taking revenge or just had a desire to kill, he deliberately arranged things so that the killers would not be imprisoned, but he could kill them personally. Just like he did with that guy when Harry caught him dismembering.
Debra came out as the most powerful, although I initially did not believe that the actress would pull the level of Jennifer Carpenter, but she did it, in her own way, but it worked!
Whoever needs it will catch the references, enjoy them and the signature music. So, definitely, I'm watching.
Secondly, I still think that there is no better candidate for the role of young Dexter than Cameron Monahan from Shameless.
Third, almost the entire episode had the feeling that this was some kind of parody, or a cosplayers' gathering, or a corporate party with the theme of Dexter. Patrick Dempsey is just some kind of caricature. Angel is a really shitty cosplay. Slater now looks more like Batrutdinov than James Remar. I don't even want to talk about the main character, he makes clumsy faces. So far, only Masuka is happy.
Fourth, I do not yet see (and most likely will not see) the expediency in the existence of this prequel, except that it is a great lead-up to the summer resurrection.
But at the end of the episode, starting with the murder, old Dexter's vibes did appear.
I was very pleased that they adapted the old screensaver (it already set a special mood), I also liked that they recreated some scenes from the original Dexter. Sometimes there were cringe moments, but for me (a Dexter fan) it's not critical))
Giggled at Masuki's laughter every time))
I watched it with pleasure 👍
Yes, it may seem that Michael Hall is being held hostage and the franchise is being openly milked, but... It's like with Wolverine 1 in 1. I had a feeling like when Fry found out the secret of the super farm and spat out such a fuuu, and then immediately continued to drink it) So here, I was freaking out when I found out that Dex had survived, I immediately thought well, damn, this is too much, and then I stuck. And this series is already like a native pancake.
When the soundtrack from the original Dexter is played and the voice-over is immediately very captivating, even to the point of goosebumps.
The casting is perfect. Yes, Deb doesn't look like that, this actress is prettier, well, okay. But Slater and Spider-Man and Angel are here and Buffy the vampire Slayer! Damn, it hasn't changed much, it's like he's probably drinking blood there!
But the story of the nurse could have been tightened up and more timekeeping could have been allocated to her. There was not enough gloom in this part. It's a pity, of course, but okay. She died and died. But what a joke about the first time with older ladies)
In general, it is difficult to keep more or less the bar at the level after so many years of the series, it is very risky, we must pay tribute to the screenwriters and showrunners.
A great fit for the beginning of the week. We will look further.
Thank you at least for the fact that this is not a sequel about my son.
The series was high-quality and long. The credits with the music gave me goosebumps and I wanted to review all the seasons again🔥
Slater is also far from it 😂
I looked at Dexter with delight at the time of everything, but I just look at this one without even comparing it.
The series flew by quickly and I want more, that's the main thing.
The actors are well chosen, Patrick Dempsey is especially pleased with the cast 🔥
Why did she keep the album at work at all? It's weird. Maybe she could say that she worries about the sick and so on, but it's still weird
What will the 10th season "Resurrection" be like after all. I have an assumption that there may be a one-year time jump in the new season, maybe more, but this is just an assumption, and so do not know how everything will be. I still hope that Dex and Sheriff Angela will somehow reunite. After all, Dex got even with her sister's killer last season, we have to wait for a catch in the plot. Moreover, according to rumors, Peter Dinklage from Game of Thrones and Gillian Anderson from the X-Files should join. Surely there will be something interesting. I'm putting a villainous role on Gillian in the form of some bloody and cruel maniac.
as I remember now, I was sitting in a room in Thailand, looking at my laptop and was blown away by the denouement.
Trinity is second only to Dexter in terms of character importance to me. 🔪💔
Young Dexter does not remember Sheldon's older brother))
Deb is cool in general, the body language is from the original Deb.
Masuka in the original, of course, was more frostbitten.
Who remembers how and when Dexter met Rita?
There's not much to praise, and that rare praise is more likely to go into the piggy bank of the original series than this prequel. For example, I was pleased with the recognizable opening, but this is an obvious play on our nostalgia. Not icy letters filled with blood, and thanks for that.
Caste is short - he's not bad. For Slator like, Debra miskast, starring Tom Holland for the Poor (no negativity, just noting the visual similarity).
That's about it. For the rest, I want to either scold, or just get upset and try to keep hoping that it will be better from now on. But it's unlikely.
The pace of the narrative is frenzied. This can be justified by the author's idea, they say, an artistic device and these are just shots from his life flying before his eyes before death, but I will refer to the banal hackwork of the authors and the unwillingness to work on the story and immerse ourselves in it, us as viewers.
It's only the first episode behind us, and we have a ready-made Harry code (compiled behind the scenes), Dexter has already taken place as a murderer, got a job as a criminologist. All the difference between the original and the updated Dexter comes down, no matter how banal it may sound, to appearance and temporarily non-canonical trophies.
Many scenes that could and should have been emphasized, frankly, are all wrong. The first murder, which was supposed to divide Dexter's life into Before and After, is shown almost casually and interrupting the scenes with a volleyball match. Why a volleyball match is needed here is another question. Does this reveal Debra's character in a new way? No. A brother-sister relationship? No. Everything was clearly conveyed in the scene at the table before the party. An important and atmospheric moment was fucked up for that.
Getting to know criminology is generally some kind of laugh. It was possible to show how young Dexter's hair stood on end, how he completely immersed himself in his thoughts, photos of blood rivet his attention and excite his consciousness, because before that he was disappointed at the autopsy of the body. But why, we'd better show a worried Masuku.
And so it is in everything. Every father-son dialogue is a missed opportunity. To the question "what did you do with the body?", Dex could start telling, and without noticing it, savor the moments of murder, give out an emotion unknown to both of them before, thereby putting doubts in Harry "and will the code help?" and " did I create a monster?" etc. But we have what we have. So, an attempt at drama. "Udi, whimper-whimper".
I see that people mostly took the series warmly and liked it, but unfortunately I can't share their delight. But I wanted to.
They show how Dexter became Dexter, but at the same time they do not show how his sister became, as if she immediately cursed, and not her life crippled her. The same is true of Masuka, as if he was preoccupied from birth, and not because of complexes that he discarded with age. Dexter has evolved, and the world around him is like an NPC🤪
But Captain, bitch, well done, bitch! 😂
It didn't seem logical how easily Harry had given Dexter the go-ahead for the first murder.
But visually it's nice to look at.
dexter *portrayed* emotions from the start of the original in order to integrate, he mimicked normality and often awkwardly, sea hall stunningly conveyed this tension and unnaturalness with facial expressions - and the character was already in adulthood,
but for a minute, young Dexter smugly grins right and left, and generally looks like the actor occasionally tries to detachment instead of "normality", and not the other way around, is wildly confusing and alienating
the rest of the cast - you can still turn a blind eye to their problems, but the main character?
However, I'm a hedgehog, I'll also chew this cactus :) hope dies last
If you're initially skeptical about the series, you'll probably like it in the end.
I liked all the references / curtsies to the original rather than the other way around - the opening screen saver, the same music - nostalgia got into the eye, and the familiar habits of the leading characters made me smile. I will continue to watch, although I thought that it was time to shoot the horse long ago and did not hope that I would look to the end.
Well, would it be appropriate? 🤔
I consider it impossible to watch the same lostfilm in translation. The censored translation of Dexter's Justice is a horror and almost all the charm of the series is immediately lost.
How I missed Masuki's laughter :D
Didn't Deb start talking like that when she was on the force? I kind of remembered that this was the result of a team and that she wasn't taken very seriously... but she's been like this since childhood.
It's also annoying in places with pathos or something... something like cheap phrases like "we have to catch him!" and dramatic music in the background. It looks super weird.
But I'm going to watch anyway, Dexter holds a special place in my heart.
Now I'm sitting here and I'm a little upset that I don't understand all the similarities and references from the original series, which are mostly discussed here. I don't have the energy to watch 9 seasons of the original yet, so for the sake of interest, I'll watch this work, and then I'll think about watching the first series.
So far, honestly, as a new viewer, I'm a little bored: I watched the first episode in three sets. But let's see how it goes from here.
When watching the first episode, it was as if I was transported back to 2006-2008.
But the whole episode didn't leave me with a feeling of some kind of artificiality. It's like the scenery is cheap (the alligator scene is especially funny, the trees are like from a theatrical production). And actors can play much better. I remember the father of the family from Mr. Robot, there were no questions about the game at all.
And about the plot. Dexter realized right away that the nurse wanted to kill his father, and Harry was like, "Come on, son, I approve." Such a clumsy scene🤦♀️
In general, either the script is in trouble, or the direction, but so far the prequel is much weaker than the original.
I was more afraid of young Dexter, I didn't know and was afraid that the actor wouldn't be able to cope) not very similar, but watchable, the guy tries to reach the original Dexter, of course, as before the moon, but I respect) Christian Slater is wonderful in the role of Harry, very pleasant.
I'm on the second episode, and as a fan of this series, I like everything) music, dialogues, actors, visual picture) I am thrilled and grateful that we are allowed to nostalgic so beautifully and tastefully about what is at the very heart of Dexter's story. 🫶🤍🐣
PS- Sarah Michelle Gellar is beautiful 🥰
In the original series, somewhere in the last seasons, we were told what really happened to Dex's father, and I think his pangs of conscience will be revealed here.
I realized that a younger actor was also cast in the role of Batista only after reading the comments. I kept looking at it and trying to figure it out whether it was him or not, it was so similar.😄
I really liked that we kept the narrative style from the original series. A voiceover that narrates and describes all of Dexter's thoughts, feelings, and emotions.
In general, the pilot episode is very advanced. It was interesting to look at the very first murder and how it all started, how he came to this.
The only negative is that they didn't show how he prepared for it, how he studied where and by whom the nurse lives. They only showed how he covered everything with film and the actual struggle itself. It's kind of fast and crumpled. It was shown in more detail earlier.
I hope that not only the pilot, but the whole season will be decent.
The screensaver looks good.
The beginning has come, so much nostalgia
Deb is great, but not Carpenter, of course.
The only thing I don't like so far is the flashbacks. They tried to make a flower pattern for old age, but it turned out to be a yellow eye, it hurts the eyes, it's unpleasant to look at(
Then, fortunately, it became normal.
Deb is a good actress, but my heart is still broken by the ending of her story
I think we need to treat the series as a separate story, it's a completely different vibe.
Hi. And they took a Chinese baby for the role of newborn Dexter.))
As far as I'm concerned, Harry is the only miskast. Slater feels most like a cosplayer here
Yes Dexter: Original Sin cleanly repeats Dexter: Original.
as if after the disastrous (according to estimates) success (according to ratings) of "blood", the creators decided not to take risks and follow the old road.
the stars were delivered. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Patrick Dempsey, Christian Slater are my friends again. The chela
a nurse of Rita's type. Maybe that's why Dex "liked" Rita. 1
loveafter all😆terrible graphics and snow again - I was afraid that the "sin" quality would be like "blood".
Volleyball talk's shorts are certainly "killer"😜 Masuka would have died there🤣
I thought Dexter's prey would be the maniac who killed the family. I think they left it for dessert - the end of the season.
judging by the fanfiction (which has become official!😮) this is the 7th actor playing Dexter.
and the Baptists are like father and son.
Jennifer Carpenter in Dexter: Original Sin [DeepFake] [Ep 1-7]. Spoilers!

Why does young Dexter have wrinkles around his eyes and vitiligo?)
And the father has a different skull shape. I should have taken old Harry, it would have looked bombastic and would have had the right atmosphere right away.
Masuka and Batista are very similar, just like their father's cop friend.
There was a lot of blood in the New Blood, too, but at least there was vibe and the same character. Yes, Angela solved the Bay Harbor butcher case through Google in one evening, while the entire FBI was scratching their turnips for years - this is, of course, a scripted cheat code of the "god from the machine" level — but on the whole, the feeling that this was the same series in a new setting persisted, and this sequel looked appropriate.. And this is some kind of cheap cosplay at a rural convention, or a crappy fanfiction.
1. In the original series, they clearly said: Dexter graduated from medical school and was the best in his class. He had a full-fledged medical education. He just chose not to treat people, but to work in criminology. And here he is 20 years old, and he is already climbing into the laboratory. In the USA, at the age of 20, you are at most in the second or third year of college, before medical school there is still plowing and plowing. So the writers of the prequel just took his doctor's degree, crumpled it up and threw it in the trash to make a story about a "trainee boy."
2. A nurse poisoned patients with horse doses of morphine. And then there's potassium nitrate. Saltpeter. Is she feeding him fertilizers or is she going to blow him up? Potassium chloride would still be logical to stop the heart, and this is bullshit. And, yes: it was Harry who told Dexter about this, not the other way around.
3. Harry's partner was Davy Sanchez, because of his death, Harry then had a cuckoo and finally went. And then they give us some Bobby Watt. Davy was simply erased, as if he didn't exist.
4. Laguerta and Batista communicate with Harry as old friends and colleagues. Question: why did they never tell Dexter in the original 8 seasons, "Oh, I remember your dad, we solved cases together"? It was always Matthews who talked about Harry. And then it turns out that Angel was almost shaking hands with him, but we don't see Matthews at all.
Yes, in terms of the number of inconsistencies in the first series alone, you can roll up four pages of text, as if the creators of the orig did not look at all.
Sarah Michelle Gellar also surprised me with her appearance, I didn't even recognize her, although I watched Buffy recently, but she looks good too!
