Michael C. Hall resumes the role that made it known in the mid-2000s in a “reboot” without audacity.

Great public and critical success of the 2000s, Dexter succeeded the bet to make a psychopath the hero of a blood series but popular, polar tinted black humor of an interesting subsection on the transmission of wrong. The series had both revealed and buried two talents: Michael C. Hall in the role of the killer in series Justicier and Jennifer Carpenter in that of his adored sister, Debra.
The career of the two comedians has never been aware of the series of the series in 2013, after one or two seasons too. This explains, among other things, that the two are given to the generic of this reboot plan-plan in ten episodes made available in time for Christmas, such as a pair of Charentes at the foot of the tree.
In the series “Take the same and we start again,” Dexter: New Blood does not have a lot of scruples. Same actors and especially even showonner – Clyde Phillips – Why change a team that wins? New Blood bets on a climate contrast to give a shot to the brand. We knew Dexter Morgan, serial killer exercising under the guardianship of a strict moral code, exiled somewhere in a cold and snowy country, far from his native Florida. It is therefore in Iron Lake, a fictitious city of New York State located next to an Indian reserve, which is found, a decade after having left behind his young son and many corpses, Including that of Debra.
Agreed developments
RECONVERTI IN Armorer, “Jim” stands for the moment in Checker and carefully conceals his past to the inhabitants of the city and, above all, to his police girlfriend. A brutal hunting accident in sacred land leads him to resume service – almost – despite himself. Magic (or laziness) of the scenario, it is the moment that Harrison, his own son now teenager, chooses to resurface and settle home. This return serves as a pretext for agreed developments (and especially already explored in the previous seasons) on the theme of heredity, trauma and sublimation, which intersect with the sons of a police investigation on the background of femicides. . This attempts to stick at the time but often tends to the glaucous and does not avoid the facilities, such as this character of Pugnace podcasteuse has come to the sides of the local police, supposed to embody the methods of investigation 2.0.
This would not be important if this reboot managed to reconnect with the irreverence and satire of the first seasons. But there is a predictable form of failure in the attempt to change, that is, growing, a psychopathic character that by definition is remote emotions and affects. Barely aged, slightly aloud by the years, Michael C. Hall no longer has to bring to this character while impulses with threatening immobility.
