[Fella_shibby · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

This one has lots of tension, suspense n an ending which will anger audiences cos we all never wanted this one to end. We wanted more. Give us more.

This one truly keeps u on tenterhooks.

"Do you want me to close this?"

[CulvertonSmith · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

The scene between Dexter and Kurt is just perfect, lots of great tension as Dexter plays with him, I can't help but love it. I really appreciate how the story manages to have such a strong forward momentum while also giving absolutely vital character scenes like Harrison and Dexter going to therapy, which was incredibly insightful and engaging. The relationship between Angela and Dexter is also pretty great, her position is very sympathetic and believable, and their relationship clearly is/will be yet another casualty of Dexter's lifestyle. Who else will be harmed as a consequence of his actions? I can't wait to see, I'm loving this series more with each episode!

I was crying when the episode ended

[chrisboringlife · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

... Nooo.. Don't stop let me watch more....

I haven't been locked onto the screen more then I was on this episode.

Everything was flawlessly sown together into an episode of pure bliss, anguish, excitement and thrill.

This is what I said on the first episode when there were still critics around... just wait for some more episodes, let it mature a little.

Dexter needs to be a permanent yearly recurring thing in everyone's life... Michael C. Hall.. we need you to be Dexter, so we get to ride a rollercoaster once a year in our boring life and feel completely in sync with our inner peace.

Don't wanna jinx it...

[nakrugt · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

Man, this episode is so far the best one.

The conflicts getting untied keeps you on your toes at every turn. The writing is so far exceptional.

I don't wanna jinx it. I hope the show will not go down hill at any point. And hopefully a second season?

Fingers crossed.

Cuts right to the chase. Brilliant television

[ramvsree · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

What I love about New Blood is the fact that the series comes as vindication for all Dexter ways who were left rather underwhelmed by the way the original series ended. With a format like a 10-episode series, the creators can just go directly for the meaty parts and cut out all fillers. As a result, what you get is an hour of intense edge-of-the-seat television.

I'm sure that by the time this series is done, Dexter will again jump up the list of all-time greats in television in many people's minds. Thank you creators, for bringing Dexter back into our lives. Every episode just keeps getting better.

Dexter is back!!

[joshman_of_wingo · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

Listen I liked the fist 5 episodes. They were good. But it felt like a lot of build-up. And for a show that is only likely coming back for 10 episodes. It felt like it had to heat up more. And my goodness that is what episode 6 did. This episode was perfect. It had it all. It just felt like Dexter. The old Dexter. And I love it and can't wait for next week!!

Hello, Harrison Morgan. I guess?

[strawberry-60502 · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

I miss this intensity!! It brings me back to the good ol' days (Dexter season 1-4).

This episode is amazing!!! Great acting, great writing, great plot!

I don't need Jim. I need Dexter Morgan

[pjdickinson-27822 · 9/10 · 12 December 2021]

Don't we all? It's so good to see a show brought back that isn't a woke-fest written by people barely over puberty. This is an excellent episode and Dexter Morgan is coming back. I can't wait for the next installment.

this episode reminded me of the dexter i was looking for!

[dhruvvarma · 9/10 · 12 December 2021]

So tightly and well written i was hoping for something like this to happen we are presented with a problem and then we find a solution to the problem, but we are left at some new problem at the ending of every episode

the best episodes are are the ones which do not contain a solution to the already given problem like we were given in the last episode instead we are given a totally new, way bigger problem

Dexter is best known for getting himself out of his problems on his own conditions, and he finally does that really well in this episode

i was never excited for the upcoming episodes, but this one oh my god!!

Another flawless episode

[gedikreverdi · 10/10 · 13 December 2021]

First off, some seem to dislike her but I like Debra Morgan even as Dexter's imaginary companion. Debra was a great character because she was not so politically correct so you can't see a similar character nowadays on TV and Jennifer Carpenter is really a good actor. As for this episode, the plot thickens for real. Angela finds his long lost friend's dead body in the caves. Dexter saves the podcaster girl from getting killed and he finally spots the town's apex predator after himself.

I need DEXTER MORGAN

[basi_bsm · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

Didn't expect new season to be that good.

Great story line. Great character development. Hopefully it is not jus mini series. I hope they continue. At least 1-2 more season. It really has the potential. Can't wait to see next episode.

Insensitive Angela

[SureCommaNot · 24 December 2021]

I certainly couldn't date someone like Angela. Her boyfriend just shared this deep, dark truth about his wife and sister getting murdered, and not only did she fail to understand why he'd want to leave that (and his name) behind, but then she has the nerve to call him up and say she needs him to be Dexter again, knowing full-well how triggering that could be for him. Sure, we as the audience know he's no mere victim of circumstance, but she doesn't know that. Given what she was told, her behavior is incredibly insensitive.

Say you really do have someone wanting to start over, and having really good reason to do so.... Should that person really disclose everything from their past with someone they're dating? Seems completely understandable to me, that such a person wait until the relationship gets more serious. Her anger at him was unjustified. And her turning to use him (when it helps her police work) really is the last straw.

Pacing is Picking Up...But

[bbevis-47954 · 7/10 · 13 December 2021]

You're basically watching everyone figure out things the audience already knows or can easily predict. For me, this hurts the suspense a little bit. It's still entertaining to watch Dexter go into parental protection mode, or watch two detectives predictably stumble upon something in the cave by the end of the episode. That's the main problem for me this season. As entertaining as everything is I feel like I already know what the outcome is going to be episode by episode. For example, of course Harrison is going to hook up with with Audrey, Kurt manipulates him into abusing his anger to snap the boys arm. Without even seeing the next episodes preview Harrison will probably be jumped by the rival high-school and Kurt will manipulate him to hurt them, Dexter and Kurt are going to try and ruin each other, Detectives will start closing in on both Dexter and Kurt, Harrison and Dexter's relationship will continue to strain until the last episode. Everything is spelled out and no risks are taken. I know I'm harping a lot but it's dissappinting seeing little to no risks have been taken. Every scene you can predict what will happen and it hurts New Blood. I'm entertained by New Blood and I want to continue to see what happens next, hoping something breaks my expectations since I do love Dexter. Though, I'm not going to rate every episode a 10 and pretend this is the best Dexter has been or will ever be.

SATISFYING

[LovingDexterMorgan · 1/10 · 12 December 2021]

This wasn't an episode as 'impressive' as eps 4-5 were, (Talking about action, super twists or things like that.) But hearing Dexter talking about that day in the hurricane when he faked his death was just satisfying. It was like getting a new 'taste' of that finale. I've always thought for years Dexter didn't want to kill himself, so it was weird hearing that. Also, when he said Debra was the closest person in the world to him it was just the best thing ever. THIS Is a REVIVAL.

Yesss yesss the game is on !

[suvechhabose · 10/10 · 13 December 2021]

Oh God i was hanging at the edge of my seat.

First of all the acting by everybody was magnificent ! I was surprised at how well actors fit to their subjective characters. Logan saying " hey man i gotta break-up playlist if you need it " & dexter doing his usual eyeroll plus you don't want me to watch my Teenage son all night long were pure magic!

This is not only better as in a part of Dexter tv show but also replaces Mindhunter . Mindhunter was portraying a btk killer , which new blood mentioned in its last episode but this episode gave me a sure chill when i saw how twisted this old hag is ! When Angela said "i don't want jim , i want Dexter Morgan" you can actually see Michael c Hall's eye shining with confidence .

You & i sport , Mano e mano & In every other way , the sound , direction , pacing & cinematography this episode had was way above par , so glad its still going strong.

Now We Are Talking ! Amazing Episode

[Tv-Addict1991 · 10/10 · 13 December 2021]

Best Episode Yet,very exciting and great storys

Now i am really exited for the next few Episodes

For the Germans:

Ich hatte erst ein paar Probleme damit, die Serie bzw die Staffel jetzt auf Englisch zu verfolgen, weil ich alle 8 vorherigen Staffeln auf Deutsch geguckt habe, aber man gewöhnt sich doch gut dran.

Classic Dex is back!

[darylblack · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

I've been waiting for the old side of Dexter And in this episode he is prepared to be the classic Dexter .

Dexter's Problems with Harrison are getting worst And other issues are like nightmare to Dex such as romance .

When Dex solves a puzzle , another one pop up .

I LOVE IT.

Best episode so far!!

[aboalhyjaa · 10/10 · 14 December 2021]

Wow, not a second of boredom. I have a huge exam tomorrow in electrical engineering but watching the episode was totally worth it. A huge events take place only in 50 minutes you wont believe you only watched one episode!

Good

[vivaciousxco · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

It's definitely keeping you on the edge, ugh can't wait for next week. This episode it particularly was very I sense and got you wondering everything!

Getting better. Spoilers ahead.

[jasonp-86227 · 9/10 · 12 December 2021]

I may be wrong but I don't think Kurt is going to be the "Big Bad" this season, I really think Harrison is. If Dexter(Jim) really is a sociopath and follows Harry's code, Harrison will fit said code by the end of the show. If Dexter truly has no emotion, then Harrison is the obvious villain. My thoughts, Harrison is going to kill the sheriff's daughter. Dex will kill Kurt by episode 8 because he's a red.herring.

Four more episodes so I'm sure they'll prove me wrong.

THIS is Dexter!

[spiritgrave · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

Loved this episode. The way it built tension brought me back to the vibes of the original series, mixed in with that New Blood flavor with some of the best writing this. Season has brought us.

It's going to be sad when this series ends!

What an excellent episode

[blndbahaden · 10/10 · 12 December 2021]

This episode was excellent and here's why. Angela's confrontation of Dexter lying about his past was perfect because it was real. Most people were expecting Angela to find out about his past and suddenly for no reason start researching on him and find out that he is the bay harbour butcher or connect him to some kill which would make no sense at all. Then we have Dexter and Harrison's disastrous relationship which keeps on getting worse and part of it is because of Dexter feeling that Kurt is somehow replacing him as a father figure to Harrison which he is. The absolute highlight of this episode was the interaction between Dexter, Molly and Kurt in the cabin which was like seeing Dexter from the original series back in action. Then we have Iris being found which was the one scene in new blood that sent chills down my spine after seeing Angela's reaction I just felt so bad for her and then the phone call from Angela saying that she wants Dexter Morgan was really a wtf moment for me.

Relax, this season is not a 9/10

[BruceWayne3 · 6/10 · 15 December 2021]

The scene where Harrison climbs into the girls bedroom is super weird Doesn't make any sense He just shows up unannounced Poorly written

This season is not that good, it's just ok.

It just ain't that good....

[sailorjjr · 5/10 · 13 December 2021]

I was a HUGE fan of the original Dexter. The last season or two got a little weird, but I hung in there to the end.

I'm shocked to see all the high review numbers for this "New Blood" trash. Sorry, no matter how you slice it, this is just not good. Whenever you "re-do" something, you have to compete with the original, and this isn't even getting close.

It was a HUGE suspension of disbelief to allow for all of the times the original Dexter got away with stuff, got his famous drug, had a huge forensic lab at his disposal, had all the money in the world. I just ain't buying it now that he's in the middle of WhoVille.

Much like the disaster Soprano's movie, they should have left well enough alone.

He is back...

[guinden · 9/10 · 12 December 2021]

The show did not start as good as the old ones. FIrst few episodes were definitely different in theme but i have to say Ep 4-5 felt like someone is approaching and by episode 6 the old Dexter is finally back...

I hope the rest of the season will be like this.
