It's interesting that Jennifer Carpenter is back. However, it looks like he's fighting his dark passenger everyday. The series also starts with the views seeing Dexter abstaining from killing (for 10 years). He's living alone at the beginning and talking to Deb's ghost in private. He's still eager to fit in, still smiling to others and trying to look like any ordinary guy. *** Some of the pleasantly similar aspects:Īlthough with less humour and irony, we see that Dexter Morgan, in spite of aging, hasn't quite changed his personality. The new characters of Dexter: New Blood are mostly small towners with some bad guys among them. Here's a list of familiar/reappearing characters in the new series:ĭexter himself, Harrison- as a teenager, Deb - as an imaginary ghost who is mostly angry and menacing now, and Angel- in a couple of very short scenes. Masuka, Harry, Rita (as long as she was alive), even Laguerta (before her death), Angel, Deb, Astor and Cody. They were the constants and grew older with us and with Dexter: No more chuckles or laughs, and by the way no more Masuka's comic relief.Īll of Dexter's entourage in the original series were interesting to me. Dexter: New Blood is drama, but that's all. Oh, how I miss the dark humour, the smart puns and the irony and sarcasm of the filming and in Dexter's voice-over. He's also an accomplished theater performer and singer. Hall (Dexter's actor) chose some of them himself. This new one is full of a variety of rock songs, most of which are not really my style. Bustling Miami has given its place to a quiet town where few people live. People are always in heavy winter clothing, mostly in dark and/or dull colours, and we almost never see the sun. So all you see in snow and a grey backdrop. In any case, this new series takes place in winter. Dexter: New Blood is filmed in Massachusetts, but the story is supposed to take place in the small town of Iron Lake, NY. The sunny weather, the palm trees, the bright colours of people's clothing, the buildings and the whole backdrop. In the original series, I couldn't get enough of the colourful palette when I watched Dexter. As you may guess, these were my favourite parts of Dexter, and what got me interested in the original series in the first place: Here are some of the DIFFERENCES that were significant for me. He has now found a small town in the north, which is very different than Miami. We know that Dexter Morgan had to go somewhere else to start afresh, under a new name, as he faked his own death. After all, this series is named Dexter: New Blood, which prepares the viewer for something familiar yet different. I enjoyed this one, and to be honest, the second and third watches were better for me, once I got over the initial disappointment about the differences and accepted this one for what it was. I'm a big fan of the original Dexter series, and of course, as a fan, I wanted to watch this new mini-series too. Interesting, however not the same as the old/original Dexter series.
