They thought they were going to sneak this one past us, and they were right — until they started pushing for some kind of romantic relationship between her and Dexter. They just can't help themselves, always pushing for race mixing.
shareThey ARE in Miami. The odds are pretty good.
shareIn the original series, Dexter never dated or showed interest in people of color. Even at his high school reunion, all his friends were White.
shareDid they start dating in episode 3? I'm on episode 2 and he was not interested.
Signed, million man.
No, they’re not dating, but it definitely seems like things might be heading that way. I’m just complaining a bit in advance. I’m not totally sure if they will, though — on one hand, I don’t really see Dexter as the dating type, not this early in his life. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they have a short storyline where he and the ethnic friend at least give it a go.
What do you think of the show so far? Aside from that one complaint, the only other thing I’d criticize is that it kind of feels like an imitation of Dexter — like a skit or something. But honestly, I’m still enjoying it for the most part.
"it kind of feels like an imitation of Dexter — like a skit or something. But honestly, I’m still enjoying it for the most part."
Spot on. Its like a broadway show called Dexter.
I caught it on cable and hated it then watched it again with the wife and I love it now. I'll take more Dexter.
Signed, million man.
I love Dexter. Even the series finale grew on me after I rewatched it a couple of times. I’m giving this new show a chance — despite some of my criticisms, I think it’s got potential. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but there’s another Dexter show coming out this summer. It’s a sequel to the last series called Dexter: Resurrection. I have no idea where they’re planning to go after the last season, but I’m excited — as long as they don’t shove any woke shit into it. And if they do you can bet that I'll be here complaining about it.
shareDexter is not interested in Sophia except to get back the earrings. You know LaGuerta came on to Dexter too. Dexter was never interested in women (remember he said “I don’t really care about girls” in S1ep5) with the exception of Lumen and they tried to get another Lumen after that. He was attracted to Lila because she was insane and Rita started as something else because she was damaged and it was to his benefit to fit in. Creating a post about an ethnic friend is an unfair outrage - so are half the original characters. There’s nothing wrong with this actress being in this series. I am having more trouble with the casting of Deb. Maybe I just liked Jennifer too much as she was really one of a kind.
So far, this series is redoing the first series when they go back into Dexter’s past. If it’s a prequel, does that mean the timeline is from when Dexter starts working at Miami PD up until he meets the Ice Truck Killer or are they just doing that AND then redoing the whole series again. Are there going to be any original stories or is it just a rehash?
This was my favorite series but only for the first five seasons. I watched the other one too - Resurrection - and it had promise. Then it became a catastrophe because I guess it was a one-off where they just wanted to properly kill off Dexter.
A few things: First, I’m creating a post about the ethnic friend because I’ve got negro fatigue — I’m tired of these people being shoehorned into every show. Second, the name of the crazy one was Lila, not Lilith, and Dexter’s wife was Rita, not Julie — Julie is the actress’s name. Also, the last series wasn’t called Resurrection — that’s the new show coming out next summer. The one you watched was called Dexter: New Blood.
With that out of the way, yes, I know Dexter has no real interest in Sofia, but that doesn’t mean he won’t end up going on a date with her. I can easily see a scenario where the dad or Debra pushes him into it, or Sofia comes on strong and Dexter agrees to go along with it, maybe to be polite or for some other reason.
And finally, I agree with you about Debra. I don’t hate the actress, but I don’t particularly like her either. Like you, I just miss Jennifer Carpenter — she was incredible. It’s tough for anyone to fill her shoes
I changed the Lilith/Julie thing 2 minutes after I posted. It’s been a while - a decade at least. You must have taken your time to write and post your comment. Thanks for telling me about Resurrection. I had no idea. I will look forward to seeing it. If only — they could just redo everything from S6 on as well.
I am not sure we will see Sophia again except as Deb’s friend. She’s underage. There would be no point. But I do think she’s a beautiful girl. Much more attractive than Deb. There were a lot of ‘negroes and Hispanics’ in the original. Sounds like you were fine with that. If they have new stories - which they should - there are going to be more negroes, Hispanics - because it’s Miami. Like Doakes, Anton.
So far, they have done a good job with casting (not crazy about Deb) and all of the episodes are recreations of past stories already done. So we are seeing again what we have already seen. Hoping for good writing for the new stories going forward and Deb’s way of talking - like “Christ on a bike.” “I’d rather put a campfire out with my face.”
Yeah, I really hope they give Deb some good one-liners. Her foul mouth was legendary.
shareDeb was annoying in the original series and she's annoying in this one, too
