@MargoZaitseva: there is a feeling that they not only took children out of age, but retconned them.
In the original, Brian was 5, and Dexter was barely 3 at the time of Laura's dismemberment.
Adding about 2 years to this age by mistake or on purpose - I'm not happy in any case :D

@Da6kaz: Yes, actually, if I'm not mistaken, in the original series Dexter is 6-7 years older than Deb, if not more, but here Deb has not even been born yet, i.e. Dex should be just 6 years old, if you count from the source. But at the same time, in the original, he was a baby when he found himself in the van.
Apparently they didn't calculate the dates well, or they're rewriting the canons.;

@MargoZaitseva: I'm also outraged, because the main reason why Harry only took Dexter (that's what they said in orig!) "Dexter was too young and the doctors said it was unlikely to affect his psyche, unlike Brian"
Dexter is already quite an adult here....

@lady_kana: It seems to me that he will be connected with the bandit that Harry is waiting to be tried. I don't remember the name, really. Such an attack on one judge, then there will be a threat to the judge who is conducting that process, as a result, the bandit will be released. And, apparently, Dexter will take care of him in the season finale.

Respect the prequel.
We are waiting for the 10th season "Resurrection ". Because of the caste

@g1557380: Season 9 of New Blood was interesting, but the antagonist wasn't bad, but the last episodes were certainly disappointing. Dexter has always been a positive character, punishing and killing mostly murderers and psychopaths. Sheriff Angela should have handled things with Dex more carefully. I really didn't like the fact that Dex broke the code. The end of the season is really one big disappointment. I hope season 10 will be a work on mistakes.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is super, maybe they can fit in Resurrection, because anything is possible. It would be nice to add two or three more characters from previous seasons to the new season.

@g1557380: in season 9, of course, there are moments of such randomness. A couple of pianos in the bushes, while the main antagonist from nothing began to dig in the ashes, and Angela, who for a hundred years could not figure out what was wrong with her friend, suddenly became a cool detective and figured out Dexter in the end. But of course he had a very cool start.

interestingly, of course, it turns out that Brian was not "born in the blood" like Dexter, but even before Laura's death he showed signs of psychopathy... well, plus really very adult children, according to the logic of the original series, Harry will have to leave them both in the container ahahaha

@blacki3: Their father was in prison, their mother was a drug dealer—Brian was older and could have seen a lot, and the violence could have come from there. They say that children show this behavior when they themselves are offended by someone to whom they cannot fight back. Perhaps on the basis of all this + then the mother was killed in front of my eyes, here's Brian and tu-tu. And Dexter, as a younger child, still didn't understand a lot of things — apparently, they draw such a line.

I understand that it's possible that this is how her line is shown, like a joke,
but damn....
how does this reveal the character? She's been the same since the first episode!

@tanyamistery: I think we're getting to her tipping point, shouldn't she want to be a cop too?

If they bring all the lines together beautifully by the end of the season, as it usually was in Dexter, then an interesting picture already emerges: there is a mafia, drugs, a witness, a mafia killer, a new acquaintance of Deb, who is the son of a mobster (perhaps), pressure on the judge in the case (the murder of a boy, as intimidation), and so on and so forth. In fact, they may have several trump cards up their sleeve, and as a result, we MAY see a steep denouement where all the threads will intertwine into a single pattern.

I like it! Fantasizing is not forbidden , after all .

Ahhh!! It was MAGNIFICENT!! Thank you so much for not showing that the young green Dexter knocked out a professional killer without problems and mistakes! Dexter's blunder is perfect — the victim was able to fight back and ran away, but she was hit by a car! Such sincere emotions "FUCK" on the character's face! 😁😁 Like when Dex didn't calculate a tranquilizer for Baby Chico (? I don't remember the name, there was such a bully with a machete) — it causes the same emotions!! ))))) I really like it)

I understand that Deb's story leads to drug addiction + a new "dear" boyfriend is clearly dealing drugs. The thought came to me, what if her twitchiness in the future is a little related to the use in adolescence? If you've seen drug addicts, they're pretty dry and with the same jerky movements. Although Deb, of course, is quite impulsive in her own right.

A LUXURIOUS series! I really like it, "hands off Tanya's melons"! Even Masuka is good 😂😂😂

There are three things that really upset me so far:
1. The age of the children, but everyone has already said that.
2. The frequency of murders. He didn't kill as often after that. And there's a murder every few days. So by the end of the series, he was halfway to Miami.
3. He has no clear evidence. They're indirect, especially with this killer, but Harry gives the go-ahead for the murder. What about the codex?
