Dexter: New Blood (2021–2022)
6/10
Enjoyed it. It's not too terrible. Woke checklist alert!
7 November 2021
Episode 1 review (no spoilers) I was actually excited for this. I wasn't too disappointed. One annoying thing is it's almost like they have a "woke" checklist they have to tick off. I've always enjoyed the general premise of the series, so I enjoyed this. Hoping it goes past just one season, as long as it doesn't get any worse. Hoping it gets a bit better honestly.

In spite of that, I enjoyed it. Even the bad seasons of Dexter were still entertaining. Nothing will ever beat Season 1 and 2 though.

This first episode, without spoiling anything, did feel a tad rushed, in spite of the almost hour long running time.

At this point I cannot remember much about the original series, it's been so long. But as far as reboots go, this isn't actually all that bad. I expected it to be worse, but hoped it'd be better. If you don't come into this expecting too much, you should enjoy it if you can get past the woke checklist.

In the end it is a product of its time, like so many other shows. This isn't an excuse to let wokeness slide. I'd have given this a better rating if it hadn't been so checklist-like.

I will perhaps update my review upon further episodes being released, but as of now, it's interesting and I'm enjoying it enough to keep watching.
