Critics Consensus

Anchored by Michael C. Hall's still-compelling portrayal of the title character, Dexter: New Blood helps restore some of the luster lost by the show's contentious finale.

While it shouldn't be a prerequisite for shows to include lots of contemporary references, it would be nice if this one were a little more surprising.

4/5

If you ever wondered if the reason why Dexter works as a narrative is that Hall effortlessly blends naive innocence with the sociopathic horror of an amoral killer, then Dexter: New Blood is the confirmation of that.

The show with a psychologically different note, is well on its way to reviving much of the allure previously lost by the show's divisive series finale for some serious closure this time around.

we watched Dexter struggle to hide his true self from the world, convinced that his trauma made him a monster. DEXTER: NEW BLOOD continues this tradition, but argues that human connection, not isolation, is what ultimately heals the wounds of the past.

2.5/5

It's not rare for a show to disappoint in it's final stretch. It is; however, rare for a show to do it twice. Dexter: New Blood was a 2nd chance to give a satisfying ending and somehow this was even more infuriating as a conclusion to a fantastic show.

unwatchable woke clown show every 15 minutes. wow, they go out of the way at least 5 times an episode to run down the list of everything plaguing entertainment in early 2020s. I just wanted to watch some stupid show i liked a decade ago... not have this crap thrown at me every second when we're just trying to zone out every one in a while after we do find something in pop culture that actually was fun and entertaining back before all this garbage. Another one bites the dust.

A VERY solid return to the franchise, it has a great villain, it has a great setting that makes sense after the events of season 8 but they made Dexter kinda dumb in this season and while the ending here was better than the 8th season it still wasn't satisfying enough.

zapowiadał sie spoko ale villain słaby i klasycznie jak to w dexterze zakończenie bardzo mierne i nie logiczne

It was really nice to see what happened after the hurricane in Miami. I really enjoyed watching it, but the ending was really sad. Overall I really enjoyed it because we see what happened to Dexter's life after everything that happened before.

Fun to see Dexter at it again- but it wasn’t as captivating as the original show
