@hotdog666: This is the coolest profile I've ever seen))) You made my day)) 1. What kind of aesthetic admiration for corpses? Dex is just curious about the ways of killing, because he is a maniac himself and corpses are really just an object of research. 2. Ritualism? He just uses the film to leave no trace and puts pictures of the victims in front of the criminal, like as proof of guilt, which is required by his code. 3. He takes off his clothes to make it easier to dismember the bodies. And then it's more convenient to just burn the clothes. 4. Dex has a childhood trauma that affects his behavior and relationships with other people. There is not a word about sexual deviations in the series. 5. There are many series with internal monologues. Dex basically thinks about a lot of things, including death, because he's a maniac and a criminologist. 6. Assuming that there is a flying saucer hidden in the Morgan garage, but it just went off-screen, we can assume that Dexter is an alien. 7. The packaging from the preziks is a hundred pounds indicating that Dex fucks corpses))
@hotdog666, I'm even a little glad that the series is over, and now you will have the opportunity to let go of this thought and allow yourself to move on)
@webtoucher: Judging by the reaction of people, they will have to teach more than one lesson with explanations during the summer series, if they don't want to think, we will force them.
@OhMyNuts: you're the one who's so pathetic that you worry about the rating and can't pass it by, you get hurt and leave a comment) are you getting treatment?
@hotdog666: These are all very interesting theories, but I'm afraid they have nothing to do with the character shown in the series. I watched the original series in its entirety and the released spin-offs. 1. Dex not only shows attention to the bodies, but also to the crime scene. I remember that according to the original script, the emphasis was more on blood, and hence his specialization in forensics on blood splashes. There was a little less attention paid to the corpses. So it's far-fetched. 2. Taking into account the original series and spin-offs, Dex does not always strictly observe the ritual and does not always strictly plan it and prepare the crime scene. Very rarely, but he acts intuitively, according to the situation. He doesn't clean corpses in any way, he just takes off his clothes. He does not perform any body ablution, so he can kill a dirty person with traces of blood and struggle. And it has happened repeatedly. 3. He undresses the bodies in order to destroy the clothes as evidence and completely immobilize the body. When wrapping the body with a film, it is important that it is in close contact with the skin, so it is better to wrap the naked body. However, it does not expose the genitals. 4. Dexter, throughout all seasons of the series, demonstrates the ability to create not only friendships, but also sexual relationships with real people. So much so that he even has a wife and children. Not to mention that the entire department he worked in considered him a friend. Well, there is no closer relationship with his family - with the adoptive father of Harry and Debra. They show how close they are, and that bond doesn't weaken even after Dex finds out about Brian. Further on about sex: Dex repeatedly experienced sexual attraction to the living throughout the original and the spin-off for necrophiliac - otherwise he would not have gotten up.
@hotdog666: 5. Internal monologues are the voiceover of the author from whom the narration is conducted. This is an artistic convention on which the whole work is based - both a book and a movie. Dex did not experience any erotic flair or erotic attraction to death throughout the series. For him, it was like a drug, a thirst that he constantly felt, and Harry's code helped him satisfy his need to kill in the safest way for him and for other people. 6,7. Throughout the series, there was never even a hint of sexual contact with the body of another victim. This is an outright lie. Considering him a necrophile based on one condom is at least stupid. Let me remind you that the condom ended up in the car after he had been in the dumpster getting rid of the corpse. And in the future (including in the original series), we were not shown any condoms after Dex's murder, no sperm, or even a hint of sexual contact with the body. Yes, if there was such a prototype in the real world, there might be similar contacts. But this was no longer the character we were shown in both books and TV shows. And there would be no Harry code either - most likely he would have killed him after the first such incident, unable to stand the sight. That's why you've now pulled the owl over the globe and so much so that the owl has torn) So there are no facts in your description. This is a very superficial opinion of a person who apparently did not watch the original series. Nobody whitewashed the character. He is what he is. But with such comments, you demonstrate, firstly, disrespect for the original source (which you probably haven't read properly, at least look at the original series carefully), and secondly, complete profanity by inventing non-existent facts about this character. Make him a pedophile, don't make people laugh.
@hotdog666: the most interesting thing about this thread is that there is no profiling school in Russia, such specialists simply are not trained. It makes you think about the competencies of those who call themselves by this word.
@hotdog666: you put the word "facts" in quotation marks very correctly, there is not a single real fact in these arguments. All points consist of "it is possible to assume ", "it is possible to assume ", "it is possible to interpret ", etc. The fact that you interpret these moments in the context of necrophilia no longer characterizes the character, but you.
@hotdog666: This series is a mass-produced series where the main character is a conditionally positive character, which is at least why it cannot be true or canon. It's one thing to kill, it's still possible to turn it around for the good, but if our GG not only killed the bad guy, but also defiled his corpse, there's clearly no question of any morality or code. If Dex were a real person, then he could probably be a necro too, yes, but again, according to the code, he would have to restrain himself from such a thing. In general, in this regard, I remember at the beginning of the series saying that he wasn't interested in sex at all, and it's obvious that even this turned out to be too strange for the audience in the eyes of the creators, because Dex, in my opinion, always had a woman later)) I always thought that for Dex, as for many irl maniacs, murder itself is equivalent to sex, he savors the very moment of murder, he doesn't need to be a necro for this. But where the creators dared to touch on this topic, by the way, is with Brian, well, it's logical because he's an antagonist, so it seems like it's possible, I remember how he injected a paralytic to some of his girlfriend at that time, so Brian may be a necro.
@Sweet-Sweet: I completely agree that this is a massively popularized product, that's why it will never be shown explicitly, but the theory has the right to exist, after all, it embodies a real potential person.
Damn, that's a cool idea about Brian! If there's a series about him (judging by the finale, there could potentially be one), we'll need to look for clues there...
@hotdog666: Why write such a thing here at all? Would you also say that actors Michael C. Hole and Patrick Gibson are necrophiles? It's just a series. And this is not a forum for criminologists or psychologists.
Well, the prequel turned out to be better than expected. But not perfect in many ways, of course. The story of Spencer's obsession turned out to be quite strange. In itself, revenge on a wife through a child is imaginable, unfortunately, this does not happen in life. Many people lost their heads on the grounds of real or imaginary treason. But the abduction and murder of the first boy still does not fit well and is not explained in any way. Did the captain think everything through so much in advance and kidnapped the judge's son in order to deliberately lead the investigation in the wrong direction, or did he personally find the first kidnapper, got rid of him and took advantage of the opportunity? Both options are inconclusive, it seems to me. Are there any more?
I'm glad, though, that the series (or just its first season?) It didn't end with Harry's death. Although it seemed to be too early for him to die, there were still such suspicions.
It was hard not to sympathize with little Brian. It's hard to say if it would be possible to fix his psyche after the experience, but no one even tried. Sadly.
@lady_kana: against us, the audience, there is a small miscasting. According to the script, Brian is 7 years old, Dexter is 3. The boy actors are 10 and 6 years old. And if little Brian is 7 years old, then Dexter seems to be noticeably older, so the age difference between the boys is not so noticeable, and it's hard to understand that Dex is very small and Harry obviously did not immediately realize that he was abnormal. And Brian immediately behaved violently and tried to kill Deb. After that, he was given a terrible diagnosis.
@Beara: If Harry had initially been as attached to Brian as he was to Dexter (back when Laura was undercover), he could have insisted that I would take care of the boy and he would change, or the boy needed a psychologist, and it was clear that his own daughter was more important.
@lady_kana: Besides Harry, there's Doris. They both lost a child, but if Harry feels guilty and tries to atone for it, including taking care of Laura's children (+ guilt for Laura's death), then Doris probably feels fear of losing her daughter as well. And Brian showed himself very clearly.
@Beara: he also killed a lizard for a reason, they showed this episode (as if to emphasize attention), he already had deviations. If my mother hadn't been killed, I wouldn't have become a murderer.
I liked the prequel too. I was hoping that they would give more answers - they would show where Tanya went, how Matthews appeared, and what reasons Brian had for not contacting her 13 years before the first season of the original series. And I also got the impression that Harry's death was Brian's doing, not suicide. Maybe there really will be a second season - it would be great.
@sotra: I also think that Brian will kill Harry in the end, but I hope that they will leave the suicide version, it just needs to be beautifully played out so that the viewer believes in the hopelessness of what is happening. If Harry had committed suicide in this episode, I wouldn't have believed it, he's not broken enough to do it, on the contrary, everything is fine.
@ElllaDee: It occurred to me that since Harry knows that Brian killed these victims and Harry is indirectly responsible for this too (he slept with his mother, he forced her to report, take risks, she was killed because of the police investigation, etc.), then there may be more victims and Harry will not be able to stand that these are all the consequences of his behavior. And then he'll kill himself.
Actually, it's strange to me: they showed in this episode that Brian dismembered a woman, like in the first season of Dexter. The question is, why then in the first season no one remembers a VIVID case from the past? It's not often they have such dismemberment, I hope. That's where I don't like it — LaGuerta would definitely have remembered if it wasn't for Masuka and so on. Let's see, maybe they'll show you more
@080585: if not often, it still occurs, since this is a favorite way of sending a message to the cartels, especially since Brian killed only one victim in this way, so there's not much to remember. In fact, this is the same thing that happened with Trinity. If I remember correctly, the beginning of the serial murders was incorrectly determined, and when it was found out that there were 4 victims in the series, it turned out that the serial killer had been operating for twelve years.
@080585: They always have some kind of dismemberment there. Then heads, then fingers, then installations of body parts. There could have been many such cases in 10 years. Moreover, in the original series, Brian froze bodies, and this is a different handwriting.
Have you also noticed that for some reason the name of the series was changed from Born This Way (which sounds at the end of the series) to Code Blues?
I think it turned out to be a very good prequel. I still couldn't see Tom Holland in Dexter, I still couldn't get used to Deb, otherwise I really got into it and liked how they did it, in fact with great respect for the original. And I thought there would be one season, but I don't mind the second one at all.
So, we looked at the original, we looked at the son, we looked at the prequel, what do we have next? A sequel, a spin-off about the son and a spin-off about the Trinity? Or has any of this already been canceled?
@ElllaDee: I started reading books and so far there was an interesting note about the fact that Deb, although she dresses awkwardly/is clumsy, but she seems to be very beautiful according to the book, with good looks
Deb from the main series is more like her boyfriend. Perhaps in the prequel they tried to make it more relevant to the book? I'll read it a bit and let you know. Because in the prequel she is prettier, as in my opinion, curvaceous))
The season is normal, the denouement sucks. Dexter destroyed the cunning police chief with 20+ years of experience too easily, who did not even have a motive to kill the first child.
I hope the prequel will be extended. The young Dexter in Miami in the nineties is much more interesting to look at than the scoof of Sea Hall in the dreary twenties with the Internet and social networks.
Oh, by the way. Dexter had done the blood test, and he suspected the boss. He should have known that the child was his (or not). It turned out stupidly, he would definitely have said such an essential detail in an internal monologue and could finally tell him the truth.
@Djigman: inside the box was a finger (respectively, a urine sample) of the child, and outside there was also blood. But different. Tanya even says, approximately, "It's possible that we'll find out the blood type and be able to narrow down the search area." Spencer has a wound on his arm. When Dexter noticed that there was other blood on the outside of the box, Spencer made a fuss, so Dexter suspected him. And Dexter goes on to say that at first he thought that Spencer's wound was just a coincidence (that is, he did not have exact proof that it was Spencer's blood). The action takes place in the 90s, when the DNA test took much longer.
To be honest, I wasn't even going to watch it at first, after the prequel, in which they sort of started for health, but it's known how they ended... When I saw it in the online store, I decided to take a look after all, then I would say that they stood at about the same level, which is already pleasing. On the one hand, they pour from empty to empty, because there is nothing much new to tell here, even the whole story with the captain was never mentioned in the original, because obviously there was no such idea from the beginning. On the other hand, they managed to add new details to the situation with Harry and Laura, there was no such unpleasant aftertaste in the original as it looms here, the same motivation of Brian sounds more real in this version, because it turns out Harry really badly framed Laura. That Brian was brought back is also cool, in the original I wouldn't say that they were leaked right early, but maybe they were introduced too early. In general, if there is a second season, I will watch it, and there are hopes for a decent sequel, albeit small ones.
But I liked it. At first, I was skeptical about this series, judging by the old series that unsuccessfully revived, and then how I got involved. It looks easy, I was waiting for all the episodes to be released so as not to suffer from waiting. All the actors played their characters perfectly, especially Dexter, there was no rejection towards the actor. I probably wouldn't mind a couple more seasons. And I probably liked this series more than New Blood. Well. Now we are waiting for Dexter's Resurrection. I hope the series, as well as the plot, will not be a failure.
@zula22: Yes, I think he didn't understand, he just went crazy with jealousy and convinced himself that his wife had been cheating on him for a long time, so even his son wasn't his. However, it suddenly happened.
@Nog: I think it's a mistake for the scriptwriters not to explain this topic. Suddenly appeared out of nowhere (censorship) that the child is not his, BUT the blood is the same. And how he found out and how, let the viewers figure it out.
@SvetikWolf: the same blood type does not mean kinship. in general, Spencer could just have a delusion of jealousy or he thought that the child was not his, because his wife was really cheating on him.
@schizosarah: I've specifically Googled it now. I was given that if the father has the 1st blood type, then the son has the same. It may differ if the mother has a different one. But according to the series, father and son are the same. So that's a shoal of screenwriters. Yes, and I watched many TV shows when the child's blood type matched the parents. From there, organ transplants take place, for example, kidneys.
@SvetikWolf: if the father has blood type 1 and the mother has 1, then the child has 1. In all other cases, this is not a fact, and if the mother has group 4, then the child has group 2 or 3, that is, it is not a parent group at all. Moreover, people with the same blood type are not necessarily related. Moreover, the organs of parents, children and other relatives are not always suitable for each other. However. Science and medicine have made a huge step forward in recent decades. In the 20th century, many things were either not known about, or the tests were very expensive and took a long time to complete. Therefore, in the 90s, a criminologist could determine the blood type, but not the degree of kinship. Spencer, who knew perfectly well that blood type was not a reason for fatherhood, might suspect that the child was not his for other reasons, especially if jealousy had gone too far. The color of the opponent's eyes was born a week earlier, but you never know what.
I was surprisingly pleased with the prequel, I'm glad that Brian was shown to us, and the reasons for his hatred of Harry were well written in, and for me there is truth in his words, Harry is really glad that Dexter does not remember the past, and as far as I remember, he does not find out in the original that his mother was an informant against her will. The caseworker is also to blame, she promised in vain not to separate the brothers, and even then she did not ask Brian what happened to Harry, and if the truth had come out, they would hardly have been allowed to adopt Dexter. As I understand it, Brian will listen to Harry's words if he appears in Dexter's life only 10 years later, and only then will he find out the truth that he and his brother are similar. I didn't understand why Harry abruptly changed his mind and decided to close Laguerta's case so as not to catch Brian.
@vk1288480: It's a dumb move with Brian — he's already managed to kill a lot of people harshly, and then he met Harry and, it turns out, abruptly calmed down and will be quietly peeping through Dexter's window for another 10 years.
@Djigman: I don't think Brian's been spying on Dexter for 10 years. He started making contact with him, throwing up Barbie heads and bloodless corpses when he found out that Decter was also a maniac. And if he had, he would have found out much earlier.
The case when I didn't expect anything and got it is quite good and not bad at all. It seems to me that the bet was on recreating the style and atmosphere. Call it any kind of cosplay, but the nostalgia turned on well. The most interesting thing is the formation of a serial killer brother, the strokes to the maniac from the first season are so good. The police department didn't seem to be enough, but maybe that was a good thing.
@zula22: There was a competition to select the best TV series of the year at the Russian Myshows Awards 2024 III. I guessed 5 out of seven. Now only in December there will be the next one, maybe)
@zula22: By the way, a funny fact: 0.507% of all users received the award. I have 62 friends, 12 of them received the award, which is 19.3% of my friends. Along the way, I have the most gifted friends)
@tanye: but in the beginning, it was like everyone who would do everything correctly... I can't find the starting ad yet... and I've been hanging for 2 for 7 days about it, I'd like to know if they're being added to the current one or how....
I liked that it showed how Harry realized that he was stopping, and most likely he would always try to stop or slow down Dexter, which would cause people to die. Perhaps one of the reasons for his suicide. I didn't like that the young Doakes wasn't shown, and there was some scene from the present that could lead to a new season.
@georgiy_rud: because of him, the informant's lover has already been dismembered, two people have become maniacs, their own son has drowned + an indefinite number of people have become / will become victims of Brian due to the concealment of information. So there are plenty of reasons for the RCN.
I was very skeptical about the cast, because apart from Batista and LaGuerta, no one looks like the originals at all. However, it worked out...
Patrick Gibson reviewed Dexter in order to convey the mannerisms and tone of Michael Hall's voice, to adapt to that image of Dexter. And he did it. Slater's, too. There is a sense of continuity between the images and the original series, even despite the obvious differences in appearance. And if it's okay with Harry, then it's not good with Dexter. Because he is, in fact, no different from himself after 15 years. I would like to experiment more with the murder technique, some kind of reflection, but here he already knows everything and knows how. All that remains is to collect blood on the glass.
But Molly Brown's Debra is completely different. There is no feeling of underlying brokenness, which was played by Jennifer Carpenter. But if the series is renewed, then it's even good. Debra has always been the most tragic character in the franchise. Back in the original, it was clear that Harry had failed her as a father, but now we can see with our own eyes how it happened.
In general, the series is normal, but nothing more. If you want that Dexter, then it's better to watch it. And a new series, even if it's a prequel, should still give something new. Besides, there were (and were) missed creative opportunities for this.
@-TraumfraU-: Yes, I know. But after season 8 and New Blood, I don't expect anything good anymore. This is where we left due to the fact that we made the atmosphere as close as possible to season 1 of the original.
I disliked New Blood catastrophically when it came out. After the second episode of this prequel, I immediately reviewed the original and the sequel. And suddenly, this time, I felt warmer about New Blood. As if she understood what the author wanted to say.
Well, I didn't get the Original Sin. Too often I wanted to scream at the screen. "I don't believe it!" And to a lesser extent, the main character, the adult Dexter's caste, I think is cool.
I don't like Harry's cast, I'm annoyed with Deb's cast and the way they pushed her age because they couldn't write the plot with the original intros. I don't like how Laura Moser was turned into a holy martyr and almost a superwoman, the original was talking about something completely different. Infuriating as hell is the cast of ADULT CHILDREN for the role of kids Dexter and Brian. The plot decisions of the last victim cause even more facepalm.
It's unlikely that I'll ever want to review this season. But maybe after 10 years, when I come back, I'll finally understand what the producers wanted to convey here...but so far I highly doubt it.
I do not regret the time spent. But I regret that it was filmed that way.
I liked the series, it has nice vibes of old Dexter. It's true that there's no heat, because we know that nothing will happen to Dexter, but on the other hand, there's no unnecessary hassle)
A maniac happy ending I wanted to review the first seasons of the old series, how good it was, and how much this prequel matched the mood of the original. For all its literally murderous plot, it's kind of family-friendly and warm.
I wonder if a prequel about Dexter's brother is planned? That's how it was shown at the end...
I wonder how the ending of season 9 of New Blood will be played in season 10 of Resurrection. I can't wait for the new season. And the prequel isn't bad either. There is every chance for a second season, and possibly for the 11th season of the original. Everything is possible.
My TV series is top1, as are all the extras! We did a great job and this one is definitely 10/10 I've read all the books, and I recommend them to everyone. Now I'm reviewing Breaking Bad - I'm thinking about Dexter, too, after there will be a review of all seasons! It's a thrill!
I really liked it! Actually, I didn't know there was going to be this prequel. I thought they'd stop at New Blood. And after all, this is not the end, as they say here. Original sin is a pleasant surprise! In the first episode, I thought it wouldn't be so interesting without Michael C. Hole, but Patrick Gibson fit perfectly into the role of young Dexter. It's so nice to look at new actors and see similar features, mannerisms, and even voices in them. And Patrick generally speaks in the same voice and intonation as Michael. In general, this part looked quite calm. The whole plot is clear to us from previous seasons. It's not scary for the main character, because nothing will happen to him for sure. The only thing I really didn't want to see was Dexter's mother suffering. But it is what it is. It's part of the plot. I will review it, as well as other parts.
Of course, not everything is very smooth in the details. But the Cuban dance scene graced the finale so that you can close your eyes to a lot of things. We are waiting for the next season!
I really enjoyed the series! I think all the main characters have adopted their behavior very well from the future (Dexter old seasons). It's really cool that we're seeing the development of Dexter's relationship with Dad, as well as why Deb went to the police. Of course, it should be noted that we will learn more details about Dexter's mother and why Brian is the way he is, more details are cool and interesting.
I'm not sure if a second season is needed, we know how things will go from here, but I want to say that Harry could have done a better job and then there wouldn't have been so many victims because of the ice truck killer. 10/10
imho, it's a cardboard hat in the spirit of most remakes/prequels etc of recent years :) I can't imagine that I would be interested in going to watch the original if I started with this (but it's cool that others went and someone was attracted to watch further! the main series deserves it)
It's not that I'm sorry for the time spent, but it would be more interesting to repeat the intentions of zero to see something like this about Brian, just without the clumsy handling of the original in terms of chronology and all that.
The srednyachok series, which is based on references to the main series. It's like a prequel, but it feels like a remake... That's probably because the scriptwriters shot it again at work... it turned out to be a season of the main series, where the actors were changed. I expected that the prequel would have taken place in a different period and that his employment would have been completed by the third season.
An arch with an adult Brian was superfluous. It turns out that Harry knew everything, but he didn't prepare Dex for this. Did he really think that a psychopath would leave his children and himself alone? On the other hand, they revealed Brian himself and his motivation. But the main investigation is very weak. The killer twist is disgusting, as is his motivation. But I liked everything else in the prequel. The cast, the chemistry between the characters, their origin, the atmosphere of Dexter. I didn't know I missed the show so much. The end kind of logically leads to the beginning of the original series and there's no need for a sequel, but I'd love to see more. Moreover, I would not hesitate to give up the upcoming Dexter sequel for the second season of the prequel.
It's as good as the original. It's very interesting to watch, although there was a desire to review the beginning of the story, as it seemed to me that Dex remembered the container and because of this he had problems since childhood, etc. But here he doesn't remember anything at all.
The most delusional part is when Brian kills a psychiatrist. He did it so badly that he would have been found the next day and sent to prison for a long time.
In fact, I expected much worse from the prequel and thought it would end with Dexter recovering in the hospital and a smooth transition to the new series. But in fact, they left a maneuver for the second season.
The second season has not yet been confirmed, but it is highly likely to be. I'm pretty sure that Brian and Harry will meet again. Now I doubt very much that Harry will commit suicide because of Dexter.
For the season as a whole, I can say that it turned out well. At first, I had a strong feeling that I was watching a parody of the original series, but these feelings gradually disappeared. It was quite fascinating to watch, although the story with Spencer turned out to be too far-fetched. The authors literally say that emotions can turn a person into a monster, giving the viewer such an explanation. But still, it's so cold-blooded to lie, invent all this, go to the murder of children - such a character should have some deeper story, it seems to me. Of course, you can think of anything that he has seen a lot of terrible things, has become callous, there is something wrong with his psyche - but it is still better to show such things at least briefly, so that it is more plausible.
So, well, Dexter didn't come out of his coma as an adult, so this isn't the end, as far as I'm concerned.
The prequel is good! Some episodes are 5+, some are 4+, but I can't single out any bad or very boring ones. Ending at 4: it seems that the main thread was revealed, but where is Debra's boyfriend, where is Laura's drug baron, what about Tanya's gambling, etc., etc. - I want to believe that such questions will be revealed in the second season of the prequel, so the ending is a little weak. Maybe they didn't understand whether the prequel would come or not, so when they realized that the fans were happy, they saved a couple of denouements for the next season? In any case, it would be illogical to stop now, there's still a ton more to tell.
Brian is very sorry: not all of us are told in childhood that we need to present ourselves correctly, explain the reason for our behavior, or sometimes not expose ourselves, even if you give back to the offender. He may have had some background, but you can't grow up very happy in a family of a drug addict and a criminal, Dex was young and still didn't understand anything, and Brian was already growing up angry. The murder of the mother and the foster families did not add happy stories. The devil knows how he spent it and who any person would become after that. It's a pity, I wish Dexter and Brian had found each other somehow differently, for a couple of weeks of meetings before those very events.
I'm looking forward to the next season! Is it true that they plan to continue adult Dex in the summer and have you also heard about the Trinity spinoff? It sounds so good that it's scary to believe! Hooray )
The perfect cast with a 100% hit in the original and great acting. It's nice that such a strong series has been brought back to life. I hope they won't close it.
Detective Morgan puts a handcuff key in his sock every morning. Just in case... 😂 The prequel is good! Now we are waiting for season 2. I hope it won't be too long with its release.
You can hate New Blood as much as you want, but the main antagonist was more terrifying there. The scourge of all prequels is that it's not very interesting to follow the story if you know what's going to happen in the end. Well, Dexter somehow had everything going very smoothly all season.
I didn't expect anything from this prequel at all, I planned to watch it because of my love for Dexter. But the creators made a truly nostalgic project, not for show, but in accordance with the expansion of the story that we have already seen in the original! For the atmosphere at the station, for the insanely similar young versions of Dexter's colleagues - a special bow, as if he had returned there again. Well, Patrick Gibson caught Dex's "crazy" perfectly and mastered it perfectly.
Brian's arch was quickly brought to mind. These examples with foster families finally completed the picture of why he became who he became. There doesn't seem to be anything unexpected, but the dramaturgy is very well designed - the emotions are like a roll call with the ending of the first season of the original.
Dexter's formation was also well handled, of course, the boss was crumpled up and the denouement was quickly wrapped up, but this is not the worst that could have happened, so I also see no point in finding fault.
Deb's decision to go to the police is also too spontaneous, but otherwise the roots of the problems she will face later have been identified, so it also seems to be quite a canon.
If it is renewed for a second season, it will be very interesting to see where the plot will lead. I agree with the assumptions above: is Harry's death really going to be the fruit of Brian's efforts? It would be great to see such a scenario.
Thanks for these 10 wonderful episodes, I was glad to find out how it all started! We are waiting for the "Resurrection"!
I was a little confused by one point, Harry in episode 1 and Dexter in this one, when rescuing drowned people, they only did mouth-to-mouth ventilation, but without chest compressions, this makes almost no sense. This is the first time I've seen this.
Overall, the series is good, Dexter's vibes are there. There are inconsistencies, yes, everything comes out too easily for Dexter, and the last case doesn't shine with much logic - but we already knew how it would end, didn't we? Personally, the only thing I didn't like was Dexter's acting-I didn't feel like he was going to grow into Michael Sea Hall's character. In the original, Dexter is a complete sociopath, and it is shown that these are the consequences of childhood trauma (perhaps also genetics, but not the point). The important thing is that he must have been a sociopath since childhood. Here Dexter is almost normal, he is always happy about something, smiling, looking for friends - in the last scene we have a happy normal family in the frame. It is clear that the actor tried and visually he is trying to convey manners, but still the behavior of the elder Dexter (even taking into account the age difference) In my opinion, he failed to portray it.
I didn't expect to enjoy the prequel so much. The cast is wonderful, and even knowing how it will end, it was interesting to watch. I'm waiting for another series about Dexter Morgan, the most charming maniac.
But no, it's not just a mini-prequel. A lot was left behind the scenes. Therefore, we are waiting for the continuation. Are there going to be two TV series about the same character in parallel now? Interesting
I didn't even expect to like it so much. I really liked the original series, and it was unusual for Dexter to be played by another actor. But thanks for leaving old Dexter's inner voice behind the scenes. And the young actor did a great job. Maybe I don't remember the main series very well. (I've never reviewed it), but from the first shots I felt the atmosphere from it, for which I loved it so much. Music, cutscenes, excellent images of police officers at the station. I believed right away that I was in the right place. Plus the cast, which is nice to look at. The creators did their best, treated the original with respect, and thank them very much for that. I also caught myself thinking that Dexter's murder process is not as scary to watch as all the other murders in the series. The code works here, no other way. ) In general, I'm a solid top five for this series, and I'm very grateful that they took such care of the story itself and the characters' past (there were, of course, some joints, but minor ones). If there's a sequel, I'll be happy to continue watching.
Mixed feelings. It's like all the corners were smoothed out in the prequel. After what kind of events is Harry going to get drunk on his own now? He was literally lying on Dexter's desk and everything was fine with everyone. And where is Dr. Vogel, who helped me do this?
I really liked the series. On the plus side: the music of the Castes is completely the same, the views of Miami, references to the adult dex, in general chef's kiss. Cons: sometimes blunt conclusions and dialogues. I also didn't like that the captain was such a loony. I would like him to worry about his son, and Dex to help him find him. Or at least come up with a more plausible reason for killing his son. Someone wrote here that he might have had connections with the cartel. Something like that would be more appropriate. But I give the series 4.5/5 just for the forgotten feeling I had when watching the first season of Dexter (adult). Thanks to the creators for not messing up with any subpoenas, as is often the case with movies and TV series now.
After watching it, I went to watch the original) As I understand it, in the original, the children initially knew that Dexter was adopted. In the flashbacks, Harry discussed this with Dex. And in this series, Dexter doesn't seem to know anything. He and Deb think they're family. Weird
It's a surprisingly cool prequel. Surprisingly, after a lot of years, they were able to recreate the atmosphere of the original. Without adding to the trends of the new school. Dexter as he is is a maniac, the main character. We ended up having a happy ending, probably for nothing, but soon my father will commit suicide. And then he seemed to have come to terms with everything and figured it out.
It's a great series and a great season finale. A great actor for the role of young Dexter, he just went back to the good old days, and when he first saw the series about Dexter.
И снова Декстер дурачок какой-то. Сам себе проблемы на ровном месте создаёт. Залил кровью лодку и обратно ехал в кровавом дождевике😁 Но в целом нормальный сериал. Им бы цветокор только поменять.
As much as I appreciate that Brian is being shown to us, it's great that he also became a storyteller for a while. I wonder why he didn't kill Harry. Harry is a direct barrier to Dexter, so does Brian have any empathy? Does he understand that Dexter is going to feel bad? Maybe Harry will change his mind in the future (or past lol) because of him?
It's even good that there are "holes" in the original Dexter, they now have room for maneuver, and we have a pretty good prequel)) at first, I was confused by modern shooting techniques, but they also create a sense of "lightness", for which I love the original Dexter (despite the rather gloomy plot) I hope to continue! The ending
It turned out to be a good prequel, although you already know many of the points from the original, but the story of Dexter's mom was interesting to learn.
@KudasaiYo: Yes, the original is only in the new movie, but I didn't wait long for the last season, they translated the series per month, I had to watch it in the lost....
I always thought that I would never become normal. But at that moment, I realized that the only thing that could save me was my family. (c) Dominic Toretto Dexter Morgan
I didn't expect to like the prequel so much. None of the characters here aroused antipathy, the actors were very clearly chosen, with a soul. After watching the first episode, it seemed that Debra was a missskast, because here her appearance is much more impressive. But already from the second episode, she stuck to her, a good actress, she got into the image clearly. There is definitely an application for season 2 here, I will really look forward to it, even more than Dexter: Resurrection.
A great TV series Bombastic star cast: Christian Slater, Patrick Dempsey, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Christina Milian 💔 I really liked Patrick Gibson in the role of Dexter, he's imposing, and somehow I've already become attached to all the characters, I like them all) I wonder if there will be another sequel about young Dexter?
I haven't watched the original source about Dexter Morgan, but now I definitely want to watch it.
Discussion of the 10 episode of the 1 season Discuss this episode
187Nothing is known about the fate of this series yet.
Are you all right? Why are you so obsessed with necrophilia theory
1. What kind of aesthetic admiration for corpses? Dex is just curious about the ways of killing, because he is a maniac himself and corpses are really just an object of research.
2. Ritualism? He just uses the film to leave no trace and puts pictures of the victims in front of the criminal, like as proof of guilt, which is required by his code.
3. He takes off his clothes to make it easier to dismember the bodies. And then it's more convenient to just burn the clothes.
4. Dex has a childhood trauma that affects his behavior and relationships with other people. There is not a word about sexual deviations in the series.
5. There are many series with internal monologues. Dex basically thinks about a lot of things, including death, because he's a maniac and a criminologist.
6. Assuming that there is a flying saucer hidden in the Morgan garage, but it just went off-screen, we can assume that Dexter is an alien.
7. The packaging from the preziks is a hundred pounds indicating that Dex fucks corpses))
1. Dex not only shows attention to the bodies, but also to the crime scene. I remember that according to the original script, the emphasis was more on blood, and hence his specialization in forensics on blood splashes. There was a little less attention paid to the corpses. So it's far-fetched.
2. Taking into account the original series and spin-offs, Dex does not always strictly observe the ritual and does not always strictly plan it and prepare the crime scene. Very rarely, but he acts intuitively, according to the situation. He doesn't clean corpses in any way, he just takes off his clothes. He does not perform any body ablution, so he can kill a dirty person with traces of blood and struggle. And it has happened repeatedly.
3. He undresses the bodies in order to destroy the clothes as evidence and completely immobilize the body. When wrapping the body with a film, it is important that it is in close contact with the skin, so it is better to wrap the naked body. However, it does not expose the genitals.
4. Dexter, throughout all seasons of the series, demonstrates the ability to create not only friendships, but also sexual relationships with real people. So much so that he even has a wife and children. Not to mention that the entire department he worked in considered him a friend. Well, there is no closer relationship with his family - with the adoptive father of Harry and Debra. They show how close they are, and that bond doesn't weaken even after Dex finds out about Brian. Further on about sex: Dex repeatedly experienced sexual attraction to the living throughout the original and the spin-off for necrophiliac - otherwise he would not have gotten up.
5. Internal monologues are the voiceover of the author from whom the narration is conducted. This is an artistic convention on which the whole work is based - both a book and a movie. Dex did not experience any erotic flair or erotic attraction to death throughout the series. For him, it was like a drug, a thirst that he constantly felt, and Harry's code helped him satisfy his need to kill in the safest way for him and for other people.
6,7. Throughout the series, there was never even a hint of sexual contact with the body of another victim. This is an outright lie. Considering him a necrophile based on one condom is at least stupid. Let me remind you that the condom ended up in the car after he had been in the dumpster getting rid of the corpse. And in the future (including in the original series), we were not shown any condoms after Dex's murder, no sperm, or even a hint of sexual contact with the body. Yes, if there was such a prototype in the real world, there might be similar contacts. But this was no longer the character we were shown in both books and TV shows. And there would be no Harry code either - most likely he would have killed him after the first such incident, unable to stand the sight. That's why you've now pulled the owl over the globe and so much so that the owl has torn)
So there are no facts in your description. This is a very superficial opinion of a person who apparently did not watch the original series. Nobody whitewashed the character. He is what he is. But with such comments, you demonstrate, firstly, disrespect for the original source (which you probably haven't read properly, at least look at the original series carefully), and secondly, complete profanity by inventing non-existent facts about this character. Make him a pedophile, don't make people laugh.
The fact that you interpret these moments in the context of necrophilia no longer characterizes the character, but you.
Damn, that's a cool idea about Brian! If there's a series about him (judging by the finale, there could potentially be one), we'll need to look for clues there...
I am very glad that you are alive and sane. 🙏
It's just that the creators are probably counting on a second season, so they didn't reveal all the cards.
But the abduction and murder of the first boy still does not fit well and is not explained in any way. Did the captain think everything through so much in advance and kidnapped the judge's son in order to deliberately lead the investigation in the wrong direction, or did he personally find the first kidnapper, got rid of him and took advantage of the opportunity? Both options are inconclusive, it seems to me. Are there any more?
I'm glad, though, that the series (or just its first season?) It didn't end with Harry's death. Although it seemed to be too early for him to die, there were still such suspicions.
It was hard not to sympathize with little Brian. It's hard to say if it would be possible to fix his psyche after the experience, but no one even tried. Sadly.
I was hoping that they would give more answers - they would show where Tanya went, how Matthews appeared, and what reasons Brian had for not contacting her 13 years before the first season of the original series.
And I also got the impression that Harry's death was Brian's doing, not suicide.
Maybe there really will be a second season - it would be great.
If Harry had committed suicide in this episode, I wouldn't have believed it, he's not broken enough to do it, on the contrary, everything is fine.
Actually, it's strange to me: they showed in this episode that Brian dismembered a woman, like in the first season of Dexter. The question is, why then in the first season no one remembers a VIVID case from the past? It's not often they have such dismemberment, I hope. That's where I don't like it — LaGuerta would definitely have remembered if it wasn't for Masuka and so on. Let's see, maybe they'll show you more
So, we looked at the original, we looked at the son, we looked at the prequel, what do we have next? A sequel, a spin-off about the son and a spin-off about the Trinity? Or has any of this already been canceled?
Deb from the main series is more like her boyfriend. Perhaps in the prequel they tried to make it more relevant to the book? I'll read it a bit and let you know. Because in the prequel she is prettier, as in my opinion, curvaceous))
I hope the prequel will be extended. The young Dexter in Miami in the nineties is much more interesting to look at than the scoof of Sea Hall in the dreary twenties with the Internet and social networks.
Well. Now we are waiting for Dexter's Resurrection. I hope the series, as well as the plot, will not be a failure.
A joint of translation or scriptwriters?
Yes, and I watched many TV shows when the child's blood type matched the parents. From there, organ transplants take place, for example, kidneys.
P.S. I won the PRO year today. It was unexpected and very pleasant))
and I've been hanging for 2 for 7 days about it, I'd like to know if they're being added to the current one or how....
Dexter is the third best criminologist in the precinct)
I didn't like that the young Doakes wasn't shown, and there was some scene from the present that could lead to a new season.
Patrick Gibson reviewed Dexter in order to convey the mannerisms and tone of Michael Hall's voice, to adapt to that image of Dexter. And he did it. Slater's, too. There is a sense of continuity between the images and the original series, even despite the obvious differences in appearance. And if it's okay with Harry, then it's not good with Dexter. Because he is, in fact, no different from himself after 15 years. I would like to experiment more with the murder technique, some kind of reflection, but here he already knows everything and knows how. All that remains is to collect blood on the glass.
But Molly Brown's Debra is completely different. There is no feeling of underlying brokenness, which was played by Jennifer Carpenter. But if the series is renewed, then it's even good. Debra has always been the most tragic character in the franchise. Back in the original, it was clear that Harry had failed her as a father, but now we can see with our own eyes how it happened.
In general, the series is normal, but nothing more. If you want that Dexter, then it's better to watch it. And a new series, even if it's a prequel, should still give something new. Besides, there were (and were) missed creative opportunities for this.
After the second episode of this prequel, I immediately reviewed the original and the sequel. And suddenly, this time, I felt warmer about New Blood. As if she understood what the author wanted to say.
Well, I didn't get the Original Sin. Too often I wanted to scream at the screen. "I don't believe it!"
And to a lesser extent, the main character, the adult Dexter's caste, I think is cool.
I don't like Harry's cast, I'm annoyed with Deb's cast and the way they pushed her age because they couldn't write the plot with the original intros.
I don't like how Laura Moser was turned into a holy martyr and almost a superwoman, the original was talking about something completely different.
Infuriating as hell is the cast of ADULT CHILDREN for the role of kids Dexter and Brian.
The plot decisions of the last victim cause even more facepalm.
It's unlikely that I'll ever want to review this season. But maybe after 10 years, when I come back, I'll finally understand what the producers wanted to convey here...but so far I highly doubt it.
I do not regret the time spent. But I regret that it was filmed that way.
I wonder if a prequel about Dexter's brother is planned? That's how it was shown at the end...
We did a great job and this one is definitely 10/10
I've read all the books, and I recommend them to everyone. Now I'm reviewing Breaking Bad - I'm thinking about Dexter, too, after there will be a review of all seasons! It's a thrill!
It's really cool that we're seeing the development of Dexter's relationship with Dad, as well as why Deb went to the police.
Of course, it should be noted that we will learn more details about Dexter's mother and why Brian is the way he is, more details are cool and interesting.
I'm not sure if a second season is needed, we know how things will go from here, but I want to say that Harry could have done a better job and then there wouldn't have been so many victims because of the ice truck killer.
10/10
It's not that I'm sorry for the time spent, but
it would be more interesting to repeat the intentions of zero to see something like this about Brian, just without the clumsy handling of the original in terms of chronology and all that.
It's like a prequel, but it feels like a remake... That's probably because the scriptwriters shot it again at work... it turned out to be a season of the main series, where the actors were changed.
I expected that the prequel would have taken place in a different period and that his employment would have been completed by the third season.
But the main investigation is very weak. The killer twist is disgusting, as is his motivation.
But I liked everything else in the prequel. The cast, the chemistry between the characters, their origin, the atmosphere of Dexter. I didn't know I missed the show so much.
The end kind of logically leads to the beginning of the original series and there's no need for a sequel, but I'd love to see more.
Moreover, I would not hesitate to give up the upcoming Dexter sequel for the second season of the prequel.
Where is the Dark Companion?
For the season as a whole, I can say that it turned out well. At first, I had a strong feeling that I was watching a parody of the original series, but these feelings gradually disappeared. It was quite fascinating to watch, although the story with Spencer turned out to be too far-fetched. The authors literally say that emotions can turn a person into a monster, giving the viewer such an explanation. But still, it's so cold-blooded to lie, invent all this, go to the murder of children - such a character should have some deeper story, it seems to me. Of course, you can think of anything that he has seen a lot of terrible things, has become callous, there is something wrong with his psyche - but it is still better to show such things at least briefly, so that it is more plausible.
The prequel is good! Some episodes are 5+, some are 4+, but I can't single out any bad or very boring ones. Ending at 4: it seems that the main thread was revealed, but where is Debra's boyfriend, where is Laura's drug baron, what about Tanya's gambling, etc., etc. - I want to believe that such questions will be revealed in the second season of the prequel, so the ending is a little weak. Maybe they didn't understand whether the prequel would come or not, so when they realized that the fans were happy, they saved a couple of denouements for the next season? In any case, it would be illogical to stop now, there's still a ton more to tell.
Brian is very sorry: not all of us are told in childhood that we need to present ourselves correctly, explain the reason for our behavior, or sometimes not expose ourselves, even if you give back to the offender. He may have had some background, but you can't grow up very happy in a family of a drug addict and a criminal, Dex was young and still didn't understand anything, and Brian was already growing up angry. The murder of the mother and the foster families did not add happy stories. The devil knows how he spent it and who any person would become after that. It's a pity, I wish Dexter and Brian had found each other somehow differently, for a couple of weeks of meetings before those very events.
I'm looking forward to the next season! Is it true that they plan to continue adult Dex in the summer and have you also heard about the Trinity spinoff? It sounds so good that it's scary to believe! Hooray )
The prequel is good! Now we are waiting for season 2. I hope it won't be too long with its release.
The scourge of all prequels is that it's not very interesting to follow the story if you know what's going to happen in the end. Well, Dexter somehow had everything going very smoothly all season.
Brian's arch was quickly brought to mind. These examples with foster families finally completed the picture of why he became who he became. There doesn't seem to be anything unexpected, but the dramaturgy is very well designed - the emotions are like a roll call with the ending of the first season of the original.
Dexter's formation was also well handled, of course, the boss was crumpled up and the denouement was quickly wrapped up, but this is not the worst that could have happened, so I also see no point in finding fault.
Deb's decision to go to the police is also too spontaneous, but otherwise the roots of the problems she will face later have been identified, so it also seems to be quite a canon.
If it is renewed for a second season, it will be very interesting to see where the plot will lead. I agree with the assumptions above: is Harry's death really going to be the fruit of Brian's efforts? It would be great to see such a scenario.

I haven't watched the original source about Dexter Morgan, but now I definitely want to watch it.
