Miami, 1991. When his bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he goes from student to serial killer to vigilante under the guidance of his father Harry. ‘Dexter’ has the same birthday as Michael C. Hall, February 1st, 1971. In episode 4, Blockbuster employee Deb and her friend are found wearing a navy blue short sleeved shirt as part of their uniform. In 1991, employees wore light blue long sleeved shirts. Short sleeves weren’t used until 4-5 years later. Followed by Dexter: Resurrection (2025). I went into this with pretty low expectations and mostly excited for Resurrection. The opening of the first episode was horrible with the editing and the CGI police car so I was like “oh man, this is going to fail.” By the end of the first episode, I was eating crow, because the actors embodied their characters perfectly and the story seemed so promising. While we already know much of the backstory, the first episode contained a few surprises that added depth to some of the characters we know and love, and added background to the decisions those characters make. Just one more episode and I’m already hooked!
