​

Hi just started watching Dexter original sin after watching Dexter New blood I like the show but I am struggling to understand the flash backs as I don't think the writers of the show have watched Dexter as the continuity doesn't add up with the already established timeline like Dexter's dad meeting up with Dexter mum for the first time. Dexter's dad sees Dexter's mum and she introduces harry to her 2 kids Brian and Dexter who both look old compared to there original age as they look 6 - 7 years old which makes no sense as In the original show Dexter really young like a toddler in shipment crate when he found by harry! Also Dexter is Harry's kid as Harry is the biological father so how on earth can harry meet the parent for the first time and Dexter already exists when they haven't even met or done the deed together yet and also Dexter looks old. So I am enjoying the show so far but I hate the writing continuity is so bad as it doesn't match with the original establishment story just saying. Did anyone else notice this problem?

I always liked Zoey Krueger, she was just the sweetest sexiest killer on the show. Personally I think Dexter did her wrong. Anyway when we first see Angela and she’s frisking Dexter I was reminded of Zoey. It’s just like Hannah and Arthur Mitchel, Dexter just keeps coming down on the wrong people.

I absolutely can never get over the fact that Dexter just loves Harrison unconditionally and how he calls him buddy and receives his calls saying 'Hey Buddy'

I started watching Dexter for the first time earlier this year. I watched all 8 seasons of the original show, then took a short break before starting New Blood. I was absolutely hooked on seasons 1-4 of Dexter, but seasons 5-8 I found to be hit and miss. (I think its just the standard for shows of that era - they don't know when to stop and keep pushing out more seasons for as long as they can).

However, I REALLY enjoyed New Blood - mianly because of the eerie setting and I think the addition of more licensed music helped too - but I also thought it wrapped up the story nicely. I was really happy with the ending because I had completely stopped rooting for Dexter right around season 5 of the original show and after La Guerta's death I was completely done with rooting for him at all.

I read somewhere that New Blood was always supposed to be a limited 10 episode series, and that the only reason "Resurrection" happened was because of the amazing fan repsonse to "New Blood". So that's why I'm torn on starting "Resurrection" - are they just milking the shit out of it again and refusing to stop making hay when the sun's shining? Or is it actually worth the watch. It has insane ratings, like, Trinity Killer Season ratings. But I just think the story is done.

What should I do?

Hear me out on this. A Dexter spinoff of the alternate universe where Dexter actually chose Brian. He took Brian up on his offer and the two became the best killer duo in history

I just finished new blood for the first time and the major thing that bugged me was the ketamine vs m99 problem. It makes Angela’s whole revelation artificial and just like the writers forced her to discover that Dexter is the bay harbor butcher. Like I don’t understand how the writers could make a huge mistake like that. Did they even watch the original show? It makes no sense

Spoilers for Dexter Season 1

Just finished Dexter Season 1; this was one of the most well-done seasons of any TV show I have ever seen. Everything came together and interconnected so spectacularly.

Highlights:

In a short time, the show had everyone's character arcs flow so naturally. Rita has been my favorite character this whole show; seeing how far she has come has been really heartwarming.

Every character is so complex and so interesting. The fact that they actually have me sometimes feeling bad for a crackhead rapist and almost shed a tear when Dexter killed Rudy is wild and honestly really impressive.

Rudy is one of the best antagonists I've seen in a really long time. The slow build-up to his identity mixed with the theme of Dexter starting to gain genuine emotions makes this relationship hit so much harder.

The ending was amazing; it actually wrapped everything up beautifully. My one worry is they haven’t really set anything up for the future. They showed their whole hand with Dexter’s Backstory and killing Rudy, which was a really bold choice to do this early, and I massively respect them for it.

Sidenotes:

Fuck Doakes; he has almost no reason to be as much of a piece of shit as he is. It’s one thing to suspect Dexter, but to constantly belittle him and put your hands on him with actually “0” evidence as a police officer is inexcusable.

Fuck some of ya’ll. I've had so many messages just spoiling the show. I have gaslit myself into not believing some, but damn, some of ya’ll suck.

I don't hate the show; I'm actually loving it. It's just that I'm halfway through season 1, and every time Dexter does something "nice" to or with Rita, I get so mad and sad. Rita's been through so much already, and Dexter being the only good man in her life and "understanding" of her situation is just heartbreaking, because I know that when Dexter eventually gets caught (assuming he does), it's going to hurt her so badly. I get her role is to show that Dexter's not this emotionless monster and has layers and is uncovering new emotions he never thought he could. But knowing that, at least for current moment he cant feel love and every moment that they have is either to maintain this happy family facade or just him doing what he thinks is expected, just makes him so hateable, though I know hes not doing it intentionally. I dont know if Im ready for the heartbreak when or if Rita finds out, if it happens in the last season I might actually cry.

Side: im getting the vibe this show will end up being like snowfall, where literally no one is a good person, and the only character that you "like" is the one who's done the least.

Please dont spoil

If you want a second season sign this. I doubt that any of this will change their minds, but hey at least you can say you tried to get this show a second season.

>!In Dexter New Blood in the first episode, Bishop pulls Dexter aside and after she makes him step out the car they kiss and then you know what happens. Did they know each other before that? I am so confused...!<

Man! She literally have real bad daddy issues, I could feel it in my bones lol, I mean I had so much empathy for her after what she went through with Brian, but girl you gotta give yourself a break and live your life, understand who you're, where you come from, I understand her Father Harry must've been super absent towards her bcz most of the time he was just setting up with Dexter's urges.

I was f*cking scared she's gonna come on to Lundy.. and guess what she did! I felt so sad for her honestly.

Plus why tf people keep defending Dexter for cheating on Rita, I mean yeah I get it he can't comprehend emotions neatly like other humans but wow! He can feel that Harry was wrong for cheating on his foster mother with his biological mother but look who's doing the same. Humans are f*ckin contradictory in nature I swear in the worst possible way!

Lila was wrong to trap a man who was already committed, so as Dexter for cheating like there was nothing ever between him & Rita.

Everyone says she needed help but she would kill Dan mendell and Robert bruner by herself

Just a gun .But the dex wiki says that the revolver would alert every offender in the distance on bruners case and even if she hit him she would go to jail

And about finding the others Dan was friends with cole on fb so could she?On cole she injured him at 1st on his home despite him being a badass military vet.

And even if dex didn't kill boyd she was chewing the rope and got free. So things would go south for jordan if boyd was caught bc he would be on death row.
