Dexter: Resurrection (2025)

"Dexter Resurrection" is yet another attempt to reanimate the corpse, of a once great series, with predictable consequences.

Firstly, this series doesn't even appear to be about Dexter. From the get go its focus is his wholly unlikable son, who has taken a job as a bell hop in New York. An employment decision that makes little sense, given his flat, anti social, lone wolf personality, well established in the first spin off.

What makes even less sense, is Dexter simply being let off the hook by a cop who went out of her way, to pursue and finally catch him. Instead of convicting him, she sends him a postcard explaining how she's somehow even with him and he's essentially free to go on being a serial killer. Sounds like the sort of thing a cop would say, right?

In short, this is another dismal, implausible script that's inhabiting the skin suit of the vastly superior, original series. Its woke too, topping off the rank stink of decomposition, emanating from the would be Dexter franchise.

In summary, some things are best left alone, for fear of making a mockery, of past success. If you have not seen Dexter before, my advice, watch the wonderful original series, instead.
