Hi everyone I meant to say Dexter original sin in the first five seconds, whoops, just finished new blood so is on the brain Also I say I actually really liked this episode? Few people seem to think I hate it due to the minor things I didn’t love? But I liked it! Quite a bit
I was a bit iffy on MCH doing the narration when it was announced, don't get me wrong - it's not Dex without him... But they announced it as 'Inner Narration ' which was like 'Why are his inner thoughts the sound of his voice as it would be 15+ years later?' In actuality they handled it well as it's actually Older Dexter remembering the things that happened, and not his inner thoughts at that time.
I didn’t expect this review but loved it! I feel like this series has not received a lot of promotion. I was pleasantly surprised by the first episode because I was one of the people who initially questioned why this was being made or if it was needed.
Considering shows like HIMYM & that Big Bang spin off both have narrators different from the protagonist and work fine I find the concern of having MCH do the narration laughable. Honestly, I wasn't very excited for this, but your video got me to check out the trailer and it actually seems fun.
11:52 the dexter impression was perfect😂 but also my biggest complaint is like, they couldn’t put blue contacts on the guy? that lowkey takes me out of the continuity ngl, but i thought a lot similarly to your review. love your take!!
MUNCH That effing sound effect. When I watched the episode, I was doing so in a not-so-optimal environment (aka shitty speakers) and TOTALLY missed it. After looking for reviews and whatnot to see if people were in line with my thoughts on the episode, someone pointed it out, and holy crap, man, it's so out of place. I HOPE they do replace it. This Sunday, we are having 2 episodes. Hopefully that is addressed. And to go into what you thought, I am 100% with you. Hopefully it gets better as it goes on. Still, gonna watch it all.
Or maybe they could just turn the volume down on that sound effect a little bit. You're right though the placement is kind of goofy for a seriuos showv. And from someone who was A kid in the seventies they used to use that sound effect a lot in cartoons Like scooby doo and stuff.
I have some problems with casting. But I had issues with the casting of Harrison in New Blood. They really need to retcon their timeline to make it make sense. Harrison was born in 2009. New Blood takes place in 2021. So the person who played Harrison should've been playing a 12 year old. It made no sense. With this show, Deb should be 16 years old based on the timeline and Dexter should be 20. The guy playing dexter is 29 and I don't dislike the casting. I'm fine with a 29 year old playing a 20 year old. However the woman playing Deb is 30. I just don't see it. I think she is too old to be playing a 16 year old.
@@Santiagointhejungleshe looks off to me idk I wasn’t thinking it was her age bc I didn’t know she was 30 but maybe it’s bc. She’s that old playing a teen
@ for sure some can pull it off I was going off the other person’s comment my thing is that this deb doesn’t have the same build and it was mentioned that she has always been a stick and it just like stuck out to me lol
Commenting bc I need this video to do numbers a review from you for each Dexter episode would go so hard!!! Also god I hate that sound effect idk why they decided to add that in it’s so awful
Depends which point, I mentioned new blood multiple times when making comparisons, unless there was a time I meant to say original sin but said new blood? I might or might not have depends, send me a time stamp
The terrible writer Clyde Phillips wrote it! He wrote New Blood and he killed off Rita in Dexter. I liked it because of the great actors make bad writing look good. I will watch anything Dexter. I read all of the books and Jeff Linsey is a great writer.
I know it's just the pilot, but... I don't think most pilots are meant to be excruciatingly painful to fuckin sit through the majority of the time Every time Gibson did that fuckin smirk I wanted to tell him to stfu and he didn't even say anything lol. I remember he said in some interview that he didn't watch the show to prepare so I bet he saw some pics/posters of MCH smirking and decided to base his entire fuckin performance around that
FIRM disagree. Youre not a fan, thats okay, not subscribing and you probably shouldnt cover the rest of the series. thanks for the negativity, really brought down my meal. TIME WASTED!

but to be fair the bad wig is so famously bad in the original show, i kinda like that they kept a terrible wig for him for the first episode

Duh! Lol. Are you slow?
I really enjoyed the first episode and think they did really well on the casting. The actor who plays Angel is dead on.
I think young debra was spot on
hell nah, this one has more of a body, Carpenter has no curves and a tortilla butt. lol

There’s an episode in season 6 where he mentions following the “career’s” of other serial killers in his younger years m,it’s not necessarily a retcon
Nah wasn’t saying it was a retcon at all, more so complimenting the show as I found this super interesting and not something super explored in og
Would love to see a review to another episode!
MUNCH
That effing sound effect.
When I watched the episode, I was doing so in a not-so-optimal environment (aka shitty speakers) and TOTALLY missed it.

And to go into what you thought, I am 100% with you. Hopefully it gets better as it goes on. Still, gonna watch it all.
First episode was brilliant. Have high hopes.
I have high hopes. I feel like they haven’t really promoted it well though, no one I know knew it was out
Young Debra is SOOOO ANNOYING
mashall did u just call Harry "cooked as , a really weird unit" xD because treu
They definitely should have used the munching sound from the original series, it sounded more natural.
The dialogue sounds exactly like what a teenager with serious mental issues would sound like…. He’s a kid in this series
Exactly this dude thinks he should act like 40yo dex
Or maybe they could just turn the volume down on that sound effect a little bit. You're right though the placement is kind of goofy for a seriuos showv. And from someone who was A kid in the seventies they used to use that sound effect a lot in cartoons Like scooby doo and stuff.
Please review another episode!
I have really high hopes for this! I will definitely watch it

it doesnt matter the age, the woman who plays deb looks like a 20 year old anyway.
@@Santiagointhejungleshe looks off to me idk I wasn’t thinking it was her age bc I didn’t know she was 30 but maybe it’s bc. She’s that old playing a teen
@@dsweetestkitty1527 yeah but in almost all teenage movies the actors are like in their 20's. in mean girls for ex rachel mcadams was 26
@ for sure some can pull it off I was going off the other person’s comment my thing is that this deb doesn’t have the same build and it was mentioned that she has always been a stick and it just like stuck out to me lol
If you hadn’t mentioned it I wouldn’t have known she was a grown woman so have to disagree with your point on that
Commenting bc I need this video to do numbers a review from you for each Dexter episode would go so hard!!! Also god I hate that sound effect idk why they decided to add that in it’s so awful
I can see the trauma in Michael c hall. But This kid has no trauma.
Honestly I'm only watching for Buffy
you look like andy from the shawshank redemption
Did you really say New Blood? You meant Original Sin right?
Depends which point, I mentioned new blood multiple times when making comparisons, unless there was a time I meant to say original sin but said new blood?
I might or might not have depends, send me a time stamp
Yep just checked you’re right I did it right at the start lol whoops
I liked it alot tbh
It was good
I dont think any of what you said was bad writing. It feels like what the original would say.
The terrible writer Clyde Phillips wrote it! He wrote New Blood and he killed off Rita in Dexter. I liked it because of the great actors make bad writing look good.
I will watch anything Dexter.
I read all of the books and Jeff Linsey is a great writer.

I literally was optimistic and liked it lol
Mate, he gave his honest review. He said a lot of positive things, and I thought he was spot on about the negatives
First! 😂😂😂
