Review: Ten years after the demise of the original Dexter ShowTime brought back the inimitable Michael C. Hall to reprise his role in what has been shockingly the most watched show in ShowTime’s history. I was reluctant to think this could be done well, but the end of the original six season series did not end all that well and left fans pretty dissatisfied. It’s now ten years later, and our beloved serial killer has moved to remote upstate New York and started a new life after faking is own death back in the Miami days. He is tracked down and reunited with his long lost son, who appears to have some of the same “Dark Passenger” tendencies as Dexter. Jack Alcott is a revelation as the junior Dexter, with eerie nuances of similarity with his father and Clancy Brown and Julia Jones add gravitas to the cast with their takes on Dexter’s nemesis and love life respectively. The return of Jennifer Carpenter is wonderful as Dexter’s dear departed sister, Deb Morgan. Bringing back David Zayas as the hipster Miami detective from the original, was a stroke of genius. Clearly, one of the top shows of the last year without a doubt.
