TV: Dexter New Blood Mini Series (2021)

 This started out wrong but ended well. Everything that made Dexter (the regular series) difficult for me to watch happened in the first few episodes. He was still getting away with it. Will no one be able to catch this man, already?! Thank goodness that changed.  

Dexter is living under an assumed identity in a small town in upstate New York. At the point of entry for us viewers, things seem to be going well for him, until his past comes back. Harrison (his son with Rita) shows up out of nowhere and his dark passenger decides to briefly take the wheel. His girlfriend, who is also the town’s sheriff starts putting the pieces together. Why would you date the sheriff, you supposedly retired serial killer you? Teenagers will almost always be annoying, and teenage Harrison does that job well. Then we discover there’s another serial killer in this town. What?!  

I’m happy I watched it through to the end, and although I wanted the storyline with Harrison to go differently, I was pleased by the final ending.  

Highlight: The creepy song from the Dexter series end credits, was the regular theme song for Dexter New Blood.
