By celebrating its past rather than invent a future, “and just like that” makes the opposite bet of “Dexter: New Blood”.

Just like the movie feature films, the series also have their “revival”, “reboot” or “remake” … we do not really know how to call them, these returns on the hero screen of another era. At a time provider of nostalgia, unifying and targets of all critics, these unclean products have the failure to highlight the time that passes and lend the flank to comparisons too often in favor of the original.
So it would be easy to give the Gémonia the returns, not necessarily indispensable, of two heroes having kept a place of choice in the series of the early 2000s. The last seasons of Dexter (2006-2013) had disappointed , and the prospect of a return to business – the final episode had made him understand: he is alive! – Has been welcomed with a corner smile. The ultra-looked heroin of sex and the city (1998-2004) had disappeared from the screens after finally stabilizing its tumultuous relationship with Mister Big. And it’s not quite a coincidence that, about the same time, women put their heels from 12 to the closet and put on sneakers, signing the end of a certain idea of fashion.
Which flame try to revive Dexter: New Blood and Just Like That, the new versions of the two sets in question? The answer is quite simple to Dexter, and that’s what’s the least interesting to both. There was this morbid hero that we had taken care not to die, even after nine seasons, this fascinating psychopath unable to feel, to love, to change. Even paternity did not allow him to escape his destiny, that of fleeing as far as possible to preserve his loved ones. New Blood intervenes as to repair something. CLYDE PHILLIPS, director of the original series, took over the levers and invented a relationship between Dexter and his son Harrison, which we discover here teenager, prey to the same deadly impulses as his father. He thus cleans the possibility of a fictional continuity around this “moral” series killer character, and invents a future to the series by giving posterity to his hero. This transition-shaped season takes note of what should have been done at the end of the original series – kill the father, in every sense of the word – and literally transfers the DNA from the Dexter series to Harrison.

The string is huge; Above all, the young actor who interprets Harrison does not have a quarter of the ambiguities that were guessed at Michael C. Hall, whose interpretation contributed largely to the charm of the character. Worse, by looking for a future, to strike around an intrigue that has no interest (femicides perpetrated for twenty-five years in a patelin Pédémé), this reboot forgets everything that was the strength of The original: the neurotic relationship between Dexter and his sister – whose ghost is reduced to grimaces – his immersion in the police as an expert in traces of blood, who participates in his procedure, and especially this appetite For murder and blood that is mentioned only by small keys while the preceding seasons made us on the contrary enjoy the passage to the regular act of its hero.
