Woman of the Dead (2022– )
8/10
At last, a worthy successor to Dexter.

Warning: Spoilers
Remember the crushing disappointment of Dexter:New Blood? Remember how the writers took the twisted but lovable character and turned him into a shadow of his former self? Remember how they introduced Dexter's son, an anaemic emo type with zero charisma, unworthy of the Dexter heritage? Well now we have a female protagonist worthy of the Dexter mantle.

Anna Maria Muhe as Frau Blum seems clearly based on the Dexter character and is more than worthy of succeeding him. Her cold-blooded murder of the killers who killed her husband is both satisfying and justified and she is amply supported by members of her extended family. She has the back story and the guts to carry out her revenge on those who wronged her and easily garners the sympathy of the viewer. This fast paced series does not put a foot wrong and I eagerly await the sequel.
