The main problem with the prequels is the foregone conclusion of the main events. We know for sure that Dexter will not be revealed now, which means that the captain cannot help but die one way or another. But perhaps there will still be something interesting in his story. Hurting your ex-wife by abducting and torturing your son sounds crazy, and yet some sick mind can still come to this. But how does the judge's son fit in here? Or is this such a well-thought-out revenge on his wife in order to deflect all suspicion from himself in advance? At the same time, the captain remembered some Victor, does he have an accomplice? But then it would be more logical to send an accomplice with food for the boy.
It's the same with Brian, and we know for sure that he won't be caught or exposed right now. There is a suspicion that Harry will meet with him, however. And maybe he'll die after that...
And Deb seems to have received the first impetus for her future work in the police. If this turns out to be Tanya's main influence on the plot, I won't be disappointed.
@Nog: It's good that you remember the last name: I assumed that the current boss was his future boss, I didn't remember the name. But if it wasn't Matthews, then Dexter would definitely catch up with him. Especially since Spencer saw not just Dexter, but the entire cellophane room.
By the way, there is a moral dilemma here. If people from the cartel had killed Dex and Brian, they would have saved many innocent lives (especially in the case of Brian, although Dex also killed at least one innocent in the spinoff). And they would have stayed alive, because Dex found them and killed them later. What's the moral here? That there is no need to leave any witnesses alive, even if they are children?
@-TraumfraU-: in real life, children are usually killed, these animals from the cartel don't care. In general, for betrayal and snitching, they should have killed the children in front of her, and not the other way around. But that's another story.
@-TraumfraU-: Maybe they were scared off? The cops arrived, the cartel people heard, closed the container, abandoned the children and ran away. But it's still unclear why the children were left for last. If they weren't planning to kill, why were they taken from their homes? And if they were taken to punish Laura, then they should have been killed in front of her eyes. Leaving children in a container is such a mercy, what if they had been searched for longer? They could have died of thirst, suffocated, or something else.
@-TraumfraU-: They left the small children in a sealed container covered with blood. Where no one would be looking for them if it weren't for Harry. In fact, they were not left alive, but were condemned to a slow death.
The actor for the role of (adult) Brian is cool, I immediately realized from the first seconds that it was him.
At least they confirmed the children's ages – B7, D3. Hooray. It's just that the actor for the role of baby Dex has been enlarged for a couple of years. The Debra's date of birth was moved after all, it's unclear why.
@lady_kana: for the sake of one theme line in one episode? I do not believe. It would be possible to show rigidity in a million other ways.
Most likely, she was moved to a greater extent precisely so that she would be an older teenager here as one of the main characters. To make it easier for lazy screenwriters
Which I personally don't like either. It would be quite possible to shift the time of events, preserving the original age difference and not losing the original relationship between Deb and Dexter. Because the age difference between them also played a role in Deb's rise from the original
Honestly, I didn't think a prequel would suit me so well. After the New Blood, I didn't expect anything at all. And here the actors are playing great, and the series is dragging on. Let's see how the season ends)
The first episode, in which the flashbacks were downright disastrous. The boys play very poorly, especially little Dexter, I believe more in the kid who was in the flashbacks of the original series. For some reason, this series is different... Not like that.
And the chief will be made the main antagonist? For some reason, I was hoping for a different ending, but maybe something else will be added to the last episode.
@lady_kana: did I also stretch the film of a naked man in some slot machine room, completely without a trace, or did I miss that this is some kind of abandoned game room? At the bowling alley, he also harassed the pawnbroker , as if no one could enter a public building in the middle of the night.
@Anlyness: It doesn't look like it's been abandoned. Everything is working, including automatic machines. Here, apparently, the desire to use a significant place still overcomes caution. I don't remember the dialogue verbatim, but somewhere around episode 4 or 5, Dexter was talking to the boy about these machines when he came to the station with his mother.
@Nog: Yes, in "earlier in the series" this moment was shown. Nikki tells Dexter that he has the best score in Ninja Dragons and that he is there under the nickname NAS. This nickname was shown in the game in that room with plastic.
@Nog: well, I think it's strange that he and Harry wrote the code, took care of security, and he cuts criminals right in public places, where at any second a cleaner or anyone can enter. It's clear, for the beauty of the picture, but somehow strange
Actually, I thought Dexter would call his father and they would catch the Captain together, or he would expose him in some other way. Because killing a police captain is a very reckless and presumptuous idea. It is very difficult to explain the disappearance of the police captain, the FBI and the entire district police will be looking for him, it is very dangerous to let him feed the crocodile as an ordinary criminal...
@Anlyness: I'm talking about the judge's first child. By the way, there's a chance he didn't do it after all. Let's say it's the same cartel. And the boss, under this situation, decided to kidnap his child to spite his wife. Then it's okay, you can understand.
@00rainbow00: yes, everything is more banal, as it seems to me, the cartel gets out of the investigation very easily, which is why the system does not work. By abducting and killing children, framing the cartel - in fact, at such a price it frees the hands of the police and it is possible to create the law. It's unlikely that the police captain considers himself a villain, rather it's a price to pay.
@00rainbow00: Yes, there is some kind of mess with the judge's child, he did not deny in any way that he did not touch this child. It is still unclear who killed the first child.
The next episode is the final one, which means that at least three (?) are waiting for us. Deaths: Captain, Tanya and Harry. Either Tanya and the captain will be taken out somehow. Or will there be a second season? Unlikely. Nevertheless, a very intense final episode awaits us, and Brian has also appeared, his case must also be completed (we know that he will not be caught).
@Djigman: Well, I kind of don't mind, because I really like the series, but I kind of thought it was all one season, because we're going to have another Dexter series this year. And then about my son (if you haven't canceled)
@Djigman: It will be, it will be, it will be. They'll extend it by a hundred pounds. And most likely, it will definitely start next year. Moreover, we are waiting for the 10th season of the original this summer.
@ElllaDee: not a TV series, but another season, the 10th. Only with the subtitle, what's his Resurrection? I don't know about sonny, but a spin-off prequel about Trinity is definitely planned.
@ElllaDee: It's better not to think ahead. The ending may be different. I don't remember exactly, I haven't reviewed the original for a long time, but no one killed Harry, judging by memory, his death was natural (due to heart disease). And it's better not to take Tanya out yet, I really like her, Sarochka Gellar looks great. I also fell in love with Buffy. For the second season, there is every chance why, because the ratings are good and the viewership is good. Don't go to the fortune teller, they'll prolong it.
@g1557380: The official version is heart disease, because Harry had a seizure before. But during the search for his mother's killers, Dexter found out, and then Deb, that Harry had taken a lot of medicine because one day he saw what Dexter had turned into and couldn't stand it.
@g1557380: Harry committed suicide, it seems. And I wasn't talking about murder, I was talking about death) But if they are aiming for the second season, then Harry will still live, and Tanya will be left (although Sarochka needs to get ready for the sequel to Buffy)
@ElllaDee: maybe it would be nice. However, there is a possibility that in the last episode we will be shown how Harry is trying to find Brian, while the latter is taking revenge on everyone who separated him from his brother. In the same episode, Matthews will be shown. Perhaps Harry would ask him to look after the children in case something went wrong with Brian. As a result, we get something like: Dexter is after the captain, Harry is after Brian. In the end, Brian kills Harry in the same way he killed his father, and leaves for Paris. Dexter kills the captain, and Tom Matthews (who is a lieutenant in this series, but who was never shown) takes his place. Apparently Maria LaGuerta will distinguish herself in some way, perhaps Dexter will anonymously tell her where the child is, so she will be promoted to lieutenant. I hope that everything will be different and renewed for a second season.
One thing was forgotten in the flashbacks, in the original Harry was sitting in the car and listening to Laura's murder, but here he immediately ran and looked for her. Most of all, I feel sorry for Doris, not only did her husband neglect his son and cuckolded him, but he also brought the children of a mistress like educate, although both boys needed parents who could put them first and help. And the most interesting thing is that Brian's aunt's withdrawal from custody was fine, because his behavior was normal, and she didn't seem to have heard about various forms of trauma, as well as asking why Harry wanted to take them away.
Pzdts)))Who bandages like that after donating blood? There will be such a fountain! Plus, a lump the size of a walnut. As an active donor on the watch :)))
Did I understand correctly that Dexter deliberately scared Captain Spencer so that he would run away and do something in a panic? BUT revealing myself to him is somehow implausible, even for Dex to mess up like that, because they might believe him if the captain tells them. It's a pity that there is 1 episode left.
@Severesa: This is reckless from Dexter's point of view, but there is a danger that the captain himself will try to kill Dexter, and not what he will tell at the station)) What will the captain look like if he starts saying that he was pinned down by a 20-year-old laboratory nerd, taped to a table and fucked with his finger? Who would believe him? They're more likely to think that the captain's gone nuts over the loss of his son.
Guys, where did the Hot Dog commentator go??? Is he the one who first suggested that Dexter is a necrophiliac? Didn 't it bother you that he wasn 't there? I think he was right, and I'm afraid to imagine what's happening to him now . 😭😭😭
@vk775121: The psycho is alarming.the condition of the girl who sent long messages to the last episode on the topic of dislikes ( If -20 caused a drama back then, how are things going with -140 now (
The scene with the captain on the table was very intense. Since the beginning of the season, there have been doubts about Gibson's performance, but this series was at the level of the original.
the main intrigue of the prequel for me personally is the real cause of Harry's death, but hopefully we won't find out in the next episode and the series will have more than one season.
I love that they decided to "promote" Brian's line like that! I caught myself thinking that I would watch a spin-off about him, which would reveal him from some more unexpected sides. After reviewing the original, I still have the feeling that Brian was removed from the series too early, so at least this prequel has an outlet.
The scene in the container with Laura broke out in a cold sweat in detail.... It's the case when you know everything, but a new interpretation makes it even more emotional...
No matter how much I watch this moment, there's a heartbreaking scene in a container, poor children, poor Laura, the scariest thing is that it can really happen to anyone.
I was skeptical about the series, especially after Dexter new Blood, but this series is great, I can't stop watching and watching! The 90s, the actors, the clothes, Miami, the story itself, the new secrets of familiar old characters, even with Deb it was the same thing, at the beginning she annoyed me with her expression, and then charmed in the original and here. Yes, the knowledge that Dexter will not be caught / killed is certainly there, but watching is fascinating, the atmosphere of investigations, the picture, Dexter's thoughts, all together are wildly scarce in the serial world and very tasty!
At the same time, the captain remembered some Victor, does he have an accomplice? But then it would be more logical to send an accomplice with food for the boy.
It's the same with Brian, and we know for sure that he won't be caught or exposed right now. There is a suspicion that Harry will meet with him, however. And maybe he'll die after that...
And Deb seems to have received the first impetus for her future work in the police. If this turns out to be Tanya's main influence on the plot, I won't be disappointed.
They didn't show any parts of Laura, did they?
