The first two episodes of Dexter: Resurrection are now streaming on Paramount+, with new installments airing on Showtime Sunday, July 13. The show’s return is a significant moment for fans of the series, which has seen a gap since its conclusion in 2013.
Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) awakens from a coma with no memory of his survival or how he escaped capture. He receives a visit from special guest-star Trinity Killer Arthur Mitchell (John Lithgow), who is determined to help Dexter understand his own psychopathy and the danger it poses to those around him. This conversation is facilitated by Harrison’s growing darkness, which forces Dexter into confronting the possibility that his son may be destined for the same path as him.
The premiere episode also introduces Uma Thurman’s character, Charley, who seems like a significant addition to the show. Her presence has been shrouded in mystery, but fans can expect more insights into her role as she becomes an integral part of Dexter’s journey.
Throughout these episodes, Showtime has managed to reestablish itself with the series. The return of familiar characters and dark themes will resonate with long-time fans. Despite some potential plot holes, it seems that creator Clyde Phillips is once again in control, ensuring a gripping narrative unfolds.
