What makes New Blood worth watching is the return of a couple of grisly old friends. Hall and Carpenter may be playing their characters the same old way, but that's as memorable as ever.
Ultimately, though, the appeal of “New Blood” comes down to Hall and Carpenter, who chew, gnaw, and bite into their dialogue, and who thoughtfully find the layers of contrasting motivations and shared sympathies between their characters. ... “New Blood” comes to life in their hands.
I remember actually liking the ending of Season 8. I have to say that "New Blood" delivers and manages to reinforce this series' position as a masterpiece. I truly don't understand the mixed reaction.
Given the Hollywood mindset that anything worth doing is eventually worth redoing, if Dexter had to come back, "New Blood" pretty quickly justifies the visit by getting back under your skin.
Whether “Dexter: New Blood” offers a decent ending that the original run lacked remains to be seen, but for “Dexter” fans there will be comfort in the familiarity of this new iteration.
In repeating many of the familiar beats from the previous series, Dexter: New Blood demonstrates the same inertia Dexter and Dexter Morgan suffers from. Nothing has changed here. Some monsters are not that complicated. Maybe it’s foolish that we ever thought they were at all.
Unfortunately, while “Dexter: New Blood” helps replace the bad taste of the original series finale, outside of some exterior components, it doesn’t do much to redefine much about “Dexter.” ... “Dexter: New Blood” is still “Dexter,” though, so all the strengths are there as well as all the weaknesses.
Neither he [Dexter] nor New Blood come to feel sharp enough to justify his return as anything but a nostalgia play for a property whose finale likely preempted a lot of nostalgia.
Hello, this is a default review because i'm forced to use 75 characters. I'll edit this review in the future talking about the game, don't worry ;)
My final rate is: 6
Dexter: New Blood wasn't supposed to come out. Dexter: New Blood only disappoints as a result. Yes, in general, if we consider season 9 as a separate project, it is not bad, and you can watch it very much. But if you consider the series as a whole, then this is an extra season. Season 8 ended with dignity. As for Dexter: New Blood itself, there is no good and intelligible antagonist, there is no interesting story. If you're a big fan of the original series, it hurts you to watch it
Lazy location, bad acting... actors are bored or something is wrong with them. Most time boring. Childish dialogs. Dexter's son is one bad ignorant. Besides lack of good actors and good acting. Waste of time. Either victim of low budget of amatourish director.
The Original Series was great Not only great it was awesome. But they killed the last season with a Bad ending. Oh dear i was Very nervous about the New Show. And at first there was the "Dexter" spirit. I still cant belive they did an even worse ending than the Original Show.
Im Very sad about that season 1-5 were. excellent and the Soundtrack were allways on Point
