Dexter: Resurrection is the final stage in Dexter fully embracing the trashy show it always was, deep down inside. Go to Full Review

Watching Resurrection is, miraculously, like stepping into a time machine back to the early days of Dexter, when it was slyly funny and had a firm grasp on its storytelling. Go to Full Review

Watching Dexter prowl around New York City is far more compelling than him being miserable in the woods. Go to Full Review

8/10
Dexter: Resurrection is an apt title not only because the show has refused to stay dead, but because it’s been given surprising new life that’ll keep it going for a good while. Go to Full Review

Dexter has its grittier moments, but let’s be real: this particular vigilante has more in common with Adam West’s Batman than Christian Bale’s. Go to Full Review

Marcos S @RT83227782 7 hrs ago Dark, twisted, suspenseful, and wickedly funny, it captures everything that made the original so compelling while taking the storytelling to an entirely new level. Michael C. Hall is phenomenal, effortlessly reminding us why Dexter Morgan remains one of television’s most fascinating characters. The writing is razor-sharp, the ensemble cast is exceptional, and the direction is outstanding. Visually bold, cinematic, and inventive, the filmmaking elevates every moment, balancing nail-biting tension with dark humor and surprising emotional depth. There’s a confidence and sophistication to the storytelling that makes every episode feel like a movie. A rare revival that doesn’t just live up to its legacy but builds on it. Absolutely killer television. See more Sagar S @RT14292757 Oct 16, 2026 Dexter is finally back. Solid 10/10 See more donnie M @RT64375194 Oct 9, 2026 i have watched Dexter from the beginning and am really enjoying this but i can't stand batista-he's beyond dramatic and just inserts himself wherever he goes like he's entitled to just barge in and take over and it makes me sick-can't wait for dexter to off him 'if' that happens See more Georgia P @RT70958088 Sep 14, 2026 Dexter is reborn, not quite 5 star like the original series but beats the new blood one by miles See more Esqueleto5678 T @RT15316404 Sep 12, 2026 Wow, this season is perfect. The pacing, cinematography, storyline, all the villains, the character dynamics, the supporting characters, the overall progression, and Episode 9 are absolutely insane. Every episode is legendary. There isn’t a single bad episode. Peak season, in my opinion. Easily a top 2 season of all time.
