For the ride, yes. For the conclusion, no. It seemed like people involved were divided on whether there could be additional seasons vs killing him, so they shot and included a bunch of scenes hinting at further plot threads that, sadly, can't happen. So it feels a bit meandering and sloppy.
Also pic related is possibly the most retarded moment in the entire series

Is it true that Dexter is just living in some town? Some cringe female true crime podcasters figure it all out and track him down. Nothing much happens. Then Harrison shows up and some stuff happens with a worse ending than the original series?
True crime podcaster doesn't track him down, and doesn't expose him. She's there to investigate the season's other serial killer villain.
It's a glaring plot hole that she doesn't expose Dexter, though, because she's familiar with what happened in Miami and should have recognized Dexter's face.
How do these retards manage to fuck it up this bad? They completely demolish the last season and rape the whole show with the finale. Fast forward years later, you’re given a do-over, with a huge fanbase revival that everyone is talking about, and you fail even harder after hearing all the negative feedback from the first failure. It’s astounding how much jackassery went into accomplishing this.
Because anyone still watching past the trainwreck that was season 5 was a retard anyway. The moment Dexter became "le superhero" his character and the show was ruined.
The only people who hate New Blood are these dumb fans who legitimately thought seasons 5-7 were good. Unfortunately this was a good proportion of the fanbase. I'm not sure any "prestige" show ever catered so heavily to retards in its concept. Maybe Breaking Bad and The Sopranos, but those shows stayed good the whole way through, so we'll never know the extent of it.
Dexter should've ended with season 5 after Rita's death drove him off the deep end and the walls closed in, but New Blood is a satisfactory alternative.
It's pretty good until the finale, which manages to be even worse than the original ending. They really just don't know how to write an ending for this show.
that was a major missed opportunity. along with the cannibal pirates, and Debs CIA boyfriend, and everyone in the family having a bodycount including rita.
FUCK YOU gayS I WANTED THE ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL AND THE DEMONS AND SHIT AND THE REST OF THE FUCKTARDERY WITH BRIAN THE BASEDEST BROTHER EVER.
I WANTED DEB LIVING IN HER OWN PERSONAL HELL LIKE CAMERON DIAZ AT THE END OF VERY BAD PEOPLE WITH ROBODOAKES SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKERING EVERYONE.
And Miami/FL was an intricate aspect of the show, set up the whole feel; was probably the best part of the show besides Dexter.
And they blew that all out of the water setting NEW BLOOD in a super dreary rural hick part of New York State. just lost all the feel of the original show.
>And Miami/FL was an intricate aspect of the show, set up the whole feel; was probably the best part of the show besides Dexter.
This is correct. Is Miami just pure kino because I get the same vibes from Burn Notice.
The soundtrack of the whole series is fantastic. All these songs + Daniel Licht's original score makes it pure kino.
>leaving his son >out of character
Lol She was basically Batista’s sister’s kid, he barely even saw the little bastard. He was a better dad to astor and cody.
But his lifestyle ended up with dead deb and so many other casualties in his life. Only option was to anhero, that failed so just isolate himself forever.
Copium. His character was fucked already in S6 when he AGAIN tries to orbit around a killer (Travis) instead of just taking him out. Although he already learned from the ending of S4 that it doesnt end well. He also spends all this time becoming more human and reducing his need to kill, then throws it all out at the end. >Only option was to anhero, that failed
It didnt fail, he just didnt even try. They show him going directly into the storm (which should kill him) but instead its just him faking his death, somehow. The ending is shit.
Maybe that was the idea but the show didnt portray that properly.

Yeah cause the last season(s) sucked dick >umm Harry didn’t invent the code, it was some random psych bitch >ummm dexter is madly in love with this hot blonde and is now king of the simps, let’s watch them fuck for the 50th time >uhhh we need masuka to do something, he has a kid from being a sperm donor or whatever and thinks she’s trying to scam him lmao >debra is still a massive bitch after the last few seasons events
I don’t even remember the dogshit they had Batista and Quinn doing that season
I would recommend watching the first episode. They nailed the rural winter town and it's sad the rest of the show is garbage. I liked the premise except the kid coming.
In another universe we got a good New Blood show.
And yet functionally, it's like a new season because it's continuing from where the old series left off. The point still stands and you're still a brainlet
Yep, I don't know why people are so butthurt about the ending. It (finally) completes his dramatic arc and fits thematically with the first four seasons, thanks to bringing back the old showrunner Clyde Phillips. 1-4 + New Blood is actually a pretty decent show. You don't even have to watch 5-8, you can just pretend they didn't happen and assume Dexter had to bail after Rita's demise. There are still a few retarded plot holes in NB, and they really needed a couple more episodes to make the climax satisfying -- ten isn't enough for a Dexter season -- but overall it pulled the show from the trash heap of television history.
I'd recommend seasons 1-4 + New Blood to anyone now, whereas before I would've just said to stop after season 4. Finally the character got the ending he deserved.
My ranking: 1>2>4>3>NB (astronomic power gap) > 5-8
Some female "supercop" who has known him for a short amount of time somehow figures out he's the killer and immediately gets closer to catching him than anyone because of her "hunches." The only good part is her daughter is a smoke show but I suspect the whole was just some last-second cash grab which always does so well. Pic related is the daughter
Anyone who spends more than a few days around Dexter should instantly figure out that he's a serial killer. Luckily, everyone around him in the first 8 seasons was written to be retarded except Doakes who also figured it out with him just by simply observing him.
Seasons 5-7 is were the show went from "slightly hammy but fun" into complete self parody, but they were too cowardly to actually go through with it. No incest fulfillment, no gay lover with Isaak, no Kingdom Heart bullshit, none of Dexter's force ghosts come to life, no Robo-Doakes. What a disappointment.
The cop and the true crime chick ruined it for me. Otherwise I didn't think it was horrible. Mr. Krabs and Dexter did a great job with what they were working with. Harrison having the letter and knowing all along was gay though. It made his whiny bullshit even more insufferable.
No, you fucking retard.
As soon as they canonized the original ending it was clear that it is not worth watching. And then they actually fucked it up even more with the ending of this one, kek.
It's amazing how they promised to fix their previous mistakes and made it worse.
>leaving his son >out of character
Lol She was basically Batista’s sister’s kid, he barely even saw the little bastard. He was a better dad to astor and cody.
But his lifestyle ended up with dead deb and so many other casualties in his life. Only option was to anhero, that failed so just isolate himself forever.
It was ehhhhhhhhhh.
Harrison was kinda bratty and lame.
There should've been way more characters from the old show.
The rest of it was alright. I didn't mind the killer and Dexters gf and the realisation that Dexters code was gobbeldymoron and that he'd killed plenty of people and was a hypocrite.
The code was always cope, he was a monster that tried to control himself with it. That’s the dumbest part of the reboot. They retread all this ground already covered in the real show.
I know it got bad but how bad did it really get? I stopped after either season 5 or 6's pure retardation and never picked it up again. Season 4 was like a gem of a season with 1 and 2 being great. When he started raising female serial killer 2.0, had to deal with that one church guy, and Deb got horny knowing he was killing people I was basically tapping out mentally. I know about the lumberjack stuff but that's about it.
Why didn't dex just use the quote "you're God damn right" when asked about being Dexter? She's obviously not that bright and could be thrown off quick.
it's quite easy to tell if a dexter season is worth watching. is astor in it? if yes, then yes. if no then no.
why didn't they bring her back for new blood?
I wanted her and cody to show up and shoot his gay son in the head
mmm best character
Dexter peaked with season 2
breddy gud
>Dexter peaked with
surprise motherfucker
dexter peaked at season 1, but season 2 is worth a watch, tho.
Fuck I love the shows music so much, can't even begin to imagine it with a different soundtrack.
no the finale somehow managed out out-worse the original one
First 2 seasons are great. Season 4 is great. Everything else is meh.
Also, arguably the worst ending to any show ever, good lord.
For the ride, yes. For the conclusion, no. It seemed like people involved were divided on whether there could be additional seasons vs killing him, so they shot and included a bunch of scenes hinting at further plot threads that, sadly, can't happen. So it feels a bit meandering and sloppy.

It was decent but the ending was just as shit as the original

LOL.
It's lower than the original finale
no robo doaxe
no watch
that was a major missed opportunity. along with the cannibal pirates, and Debs CIA boyfriend, and everyone in the family having a bodycount including rita.
FUCK YOU gayS I WANTED THE ANCIENT SPIRITS OF EVIL AND THE DEMONS AND SHIT AND THE REST OF THE FUCKTARDERY WITH BRIAN THE BASEDEST BROTHER EVER.

this was the network's most popular show at that time and they pissed all that away with the ending.
>including rita
her first husband?
Imagine a dexter book adaptation by the guy that wrote Carnivale.
No. It's nothing like the original Dexter.
The characters are all rubbish
The plot is rubbish
The ending is rubbish
THIS. It sucks.
And Miami/FL was an intricate aspect of the show, set up the whole feel; was probably the best part of the show besides Dexter.
And they blew that all out of the water setting NEW BLOOD in a super dreary rural hick part of New York State. just lost all the feel of the original show.
Miami was my favorite character in the show. the city was the main character.
The show filmed in LA after the first two seasons.
>And Miami/FL was an intricate aspect of the show, set up the whole feel; was probably the best part of the show besides Dexter.
This is correct. Is Miami just pure kino because I get the same vibes from Burn Notice.
>Miami/FL was an intricate aspect of the show
Absolutely
Yeah without the based Hispanic music it sucks
The soundtrack of the whole series is fantastic. All these songs + Daniel Licht's original score makes it pure kino.

It didnt fail, he just didnt even try. They show him going directly into the storm (which should kill him) but instead its just him faking his death, somehow. The ending is shit.
>becoming more human
He tried but ultimately couldn’t. Harry was right.
Maybe that was the idea but the show didnt portray that properly.
Yeah cause the last season(s) sucked dick
>umm Harry didn’t invent the code, it was some random psych bitch
>ummm dexter is madly in love with this hot blonde and is now king of the simps, let’s watch them fuck for the 50th time

>debra is still a massive bitch after the last few seasons events
I don’t even remember the dogshit they had Batista and Quinn doing that season
the antagonist is one of the best ever in dexter. there’s some in your face woke shit that was annoying and the finale is horrible.
Don't mind me. Just being a misunderstood capitalist.
Don’t mind me just a cut out subplot.
I would recommend watching the first episode. They nailed the rural winter town and it's sad the rest of the show is garbage. I liked the premise except the kid coming.
In another universe we got a good New Blood show.
>release a new show
>you have to watch an 3d 16h (96 episodes) of content before you can understand it
why is america like this?
Yes, anon, it typically helps to watch the first 8 seasons of a show before you watch the 9th.
Technically its not the 9th season. Its an entirely "new" show
And yet functionally, it's like a new season because it's continuing from where the old series left off. The point still stands and you're still a brainlet
it's ok, villain and ending are kino
Yep, I don't know why people are so butthurt about the ending. It (finally) completes his dramatic arc and fits thematically with the first four seasons, thanks to bringing back the old showrunner Clyde Phillips. 1-4 + New Blood is actually a pretty decent show.

Other than harrison, yes
If you want to watch a fucking annoying kid bitching all the screentime instead of watching dexter than yeah go for it
Yes. shit but still better than most of the crime shitshows on tv.
Some female "supercop" who has known him for a short amount of time somehow figures out he's the killer and immediately gets closer to catching him than anyone because of her "hunches." The only good part is her daughter is a smoke show but I suspect the whole was just some last-second cash grab which always does so well. Pic related is the daughter

I watch "Believe" for she!
>didn't do anything between Believe and this except for a few bikini pics on Insta
Talk about wasted potential
i know
i needed 10 seasons of that show
I always thought this show was a live action version of dexters lab.
Seasons 5-7 is were the show went from "slightly hammy but fun" into complete self parody, but they were too cowardly to actually go through with it. No incest fulfillment, no gay lover with Isaak, no Kingdom Heart bullshit, none of Dexter's force ghosts come to life, no Robo-Doakes. What a disappointment.
if you like Dexter, it's worth watching.
but they dropped the ball hard with the ending
Kek I just finished Dexter not 10 minutes ago and to find this thread. Ending was sad ;_;
Pros
>dexter still based
>comfy
Cons
>pretty much everything else
The cop and the true crime chick ruined it for me. Otherwise I didn't think it was horrible. Mr. Krabs and Dexter did a great job with what they were working with. Harrison having the letter and knowing all along was gay though. It made his whiny bullshit even more insufferable.
Half of new blood was a pretty good show, half wasn't. And the ending was very mediocre.
No, you fucking retard.
As soon as they canonized the original ending it was clear that it is not worth watching. And then they actually fucked it up even more with the ending of this one, kek.
It's amazing how they promised to fix their previous mistakes and made it worse.
Original ending was kino.
I dont care about Debra dying, although that whole plot sequence was retarded. But him leaving his son and Hannah was retarded and out of character.
>leaving his son
>out of character
Lol She was basically Batista’s sister’s kid, he barely even saw the little bastard. He was a better dad to astor and cody.
But his lifestyle ended up with dead deb and so many other casualties in his life. Only option was to anhero, that failed so just isolate himself forever.
It was ehhhhhhhhhh.

Lets just hope they don't get renewed for more seasons.
MCH is not gonna play Dexter again. If they do more seasons, it would be with his shitty kid.
It's somehow worse than the last three seasons of Dexter
I know it got bad but how bad did it really get? I stopped after either season 5 or 6's pure retardation and never picked it up again. Season 4 was like a gem of a season with 1 and 2 being great. When he started raising female serial killer 2.0, had to deal with that one church guy, and Deb got horny knowing he was killing people I was basically tapping out mentally. I know about the lumberjack stuff but that's about it.
No.
>Alexa who is the Bay Harbor Butcher
Delicious Clancy Brown kino
>make terrible ending first time around
>"it's okay guys, we'll get it right this time"
>make an even worse ending somehow
no. terrible terrible follow up and ruined by introducing his stupid retarded son and having him stick around.
Harrison was such a punchable bitchboy holy shit.
they should have done a cheesy
"gets on the electrical chair and remembers everyone" end
Nah it was pretty shit but the new villain was good and almost as kino as trinity killer. Run bitch is the best line in the new season
Why didn't dex just use the quote "you're God damn right" when asked about being Dexter? She's obviously not that bright and could be thrown off quick.
