A line of flashbacks in the prequel, we dive into the very beginning. It's quite painful to hear Harry telling Laura that nothing is going to happen to her.

And Deb stepped right in. Was it really hard to think that if there was a single pair of earrings in the box, then their loss would be very easy to notice?

@Nog: But I also think Deb took the earrings on purpose or stupidly... After all, they also emphasized that everything was in its place and perfectly folded.

@Nog: yes, Harry's words are like a knife to the heart, honestly I don't remember if this moment was voiced in the main series, so as not to snatch the minuses again, but it's clear why he took Dex, but why he didn't take the refreader then, maybe they'll tell us further

From the first episode, it seemed like it was a passing sequel in which everything would be sucked out of the finger. However, watching Dexter and Deb become who they are is quite interesting.

I also liked that they showed how Dexter and Batista's relationship developed — one of the undervalued duos, as for me.

I like everything, but!
Somehow they quickly switched to the usual "dark companion " mode
I expected that they would analyze the moments of the code , the organization of space , more about his feelings and sensations .
And then the murders went like clockwork …

@Nog: Vogel had a recording session with Harry, where he talked about the first murder he saw and Dexter's disposal of the body. It was in season 8 of the original. So Vogel had to stay almost until Harry's death.

Oh, Buffy, age spares no one (I barely caught the familiar facial features and only realized after the appearance of Sarah M-G in the opening credits.
As for the storyline and flashbacks, it's still pretty interesting. In the previous episode, by the way, the death of Harry's son was shown very quickly, in this one, only the phrase of his wife with a glass in her hand about trying to replace him with another child. It is strange that the case of the missing nurse has not surfaced anywhere. Mb will appear later, and the earrings will be matched immediately.

Look at the Wolf Pack, age does not spare, they are already completely fucked up, just recently I watched all the seasons of Buffy on DVD, I have never changed. Even though many years have passed since the series, she has grown up, but she has never changed. As she was beautiful and beautiful, she remained so.

a great series, Vibe Miami is in no way inferior to the original. + Alice In Chains at the end. One complaint only - it's a pity that they didn't show the development of the code, but maybe it will be in flashbacks of flashbacks, which, by the way, are perfectly stylized, as if I'm watching Miami Vice on a cassette.

With the earrings, it was clear at the beginning of the episode that Deb would pawn them, but I am very reassured by the fact that I already know that everything will be fine with Dexter)) He's a lucky guy!

Did Brother Brian come up to Dexter in the cafe?? It's cool if it flashes somewhere in the background)) (obviously, they will not interact(( )

I really like that here, as in the original series, they made a bright and sunny picture of Miami (that's why I love the original, the sequel looks more complicated because of the gloomy color.the bark)

And yet! Is it just me, or is there a spark between Dexem and Buffy????

@JulyaN: I don't think she's his type. It seems that before Rita, he felt some kind of affection only for Debra and Harry (well, and for his foster mother, probably).
But she might be interested in him, because her appearance somehow reminds me of a bookish Laguerta.

The second episode flew by almost unnoticeably: it's a bit tedious, but a lot of familiar characters are still pleasing. My sister is not happy; for some reason it seems to me that Deb, although she always seemed rather impulsive, would not behave like that in front of her father: she is more likely to lose her temper and leave, but it seems to me that at home she rather clamped down and more often tolerated closer communication between her father and Dexter than so she often made claims, figuratively speaking. Although maybe they want to focus on how bad it was for her.

In general, I like it. The only thing I really liked was that Dexter's series has its own separate story with a denouement — I didn't find anything like that in the second series. Or was it meant that the dark companion was with him again? Maybe I couldn't feel the atmosphere to the end because of the different translation, but overall I want to believe that each episode will have its own finished story.

The actor is very well chosen for the role of young Dexter. He adopted his habits and manner of communication very well from the original. By the way, the rest of the cast is also very good, young Batista and Masuka are right on point.
And the narration style is very similar to the original, the same vibe, the same voiceover comments. It puts a lot of pressure on nostalgia.

It seems to me that another judge was involved in the kidnapping of the judge's son (the one who talked to Harry in court), he somehow strangely questioned and expressed regret, feigning. And when Harry said that a cartel was suspected, the judge immediately seemed to relax.

The series pleases, it's beautifully made! Even the titles are stylized to match the original ones).. The actors for the roles of the young Persians are selected one by one: Deb, Dexter himself, Masuka, Angel... It's been a while since I've seen such a successful cast in a prequel. The atmosphere of sunny Miami in the 90s is very pleasing. There's also Sarah Michelle Gellar with a bonus: "I'm small and dashing" :)

Overall, it's good, but my time frame is still not beating. Batista is already a detective, that is, he will have to wait 17 years for the next promotion to sergeant in season 3 of the original series ...
There are too many details that are already being pampered for the sake of the fan service, but I do not believe that they will remain unchanged for another 15 years. The same office is exactly the same, has nothing changed in it at all, not even the color of the walls? Dexter is planning his second murder within a couple of weeks, although by the start of the original, he should have accumulated around 45 victims in 15 years.
For the role of little Dexter in Laura's arms, they took a very grown-up kid, in the original there was a very little three-year-old, and here it's quite a kid of about five years old.

To say that this is a delight is an understatement!

Initially, the actor playing Dexter looked too much like Tom Holland, but the way he handles Dexter's office habits is a real bombshell! I believe, I accept.
Masuka and Angel look like the "original" more than the original actors look like themselves in Dexter: Resurrection. :D
It's sooooo cool to make a TV series, it was worth a lot of effort!! It was obvious and understandable that the viewer would compare with the original, but here they handled it so perfectly that I can hardly believe: I'm watching Dexter's early years!!
So far, I can't perceive Dexter's father. I saw/imagined him in the original Dexter in a completely different way: more calm, conservative. And then you look and think, "No, now it's clear who Debra is into."
Debra was also pushing me away, as if of all the habits they show here only excessive swearing, but it still suits the actress well, you just need to give her time.
