- Today Showtime announced that they have officially begun developing a Dexter: Origins show. They also announced a second season of Dexter: New Blood focusing on Harrison, and a Trinity Killer Origins show. As a huge Dexter fan, NONE of this excites me.

The best thing they could do to continue a story with New Blood is to make the finale one of Dexter's dreams.
That's been done already. People would lose it.
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS which is exactly why it would be the best move.
@Jordan Keith Hardly anyone liked it when shows like Dallas pulled the same move. It's a cheap way out to cover up bad writing. After the reactions to both Dexter finale's, that would be a terrible move.
@@SomethingThatSCREAMS seeing as the show has already set a precedent for this, it would work. I doubt people would be upset over it, considering the alternative.
That would be awesome! Best move ever!
8:04 I still don't get how in New Blood's last episode they tried to portray a kid who framed a bullying victim for a school shooting, broke someone's arm in a wrestling match then later was going to kill him as just a normal kid angry that his dad abandoned him.
THIS. And this is what I hope "Harrison" expands upon. I think he is mentally ill, Ala Norman Bates in Bates Motel. I believe he killed Hannah. He wants to be good, but he can't control himself.
Harrison sucks. It should have ended with Dex killing him lol
Right?????! It makes no sense! He was written so inconsistently from the get go. When he yells at Dexter before he shoots him, all I can think is what a hypocritical little shit. It's not even like he had redemption arc that would have made him regret these earlier actions.
Although it was terribly written. Harrison did exactly what Dexter has done every season. Finds a victim, inserts himself into their life, then in the end kills them by telling them why they deserve it. He may just think all this anger is from abandonment but in actuality it is his Dark Passenger. Also him driving away thinking all his problems are solved, was really just that calming feeling Dexter always talks about after a kill.
Sure Michael C Hall rocking the wig in flashbacks was hilarious but an entire series like that!!!
I’m a firm believer in “just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.” Shit like this is precisely why 😂
What's even the thinking? "The show had 2 shit endings but 2 prequel shows and a New Blood sequel about a character no one likes will sort it."
I agree with you completely. Honestly, I wish Dex wouldn’t have died. I could go for several more new seasons of Michael C Hall Dexter
They should have at least gave him a decent death
Yeah I agree. I could’ve gone for a bunch of seasons of Dexter, but nothing like New Blood, which was horrible.
Facts of life 💯
How would they make any of the antagonists in the Dexter prequel be interesting or compelling? We know they’re not going to out him, or kill anyone that’s close to him unless he neglected to mention that in the original series, so what are they going to do?
Better Call Saul found ways to maximize tension even knowing some of the characters will survive
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob Saul’s a lawyer though, so he’s very much in the public eye, so you have a lot more freedom than with Dexter, someone who works completely in the shadows. Also, unlike Saul, Dexter does inner monologues, so any major events that the prequel would want to do would be stupid because there’d be no logical reason why we wouldn’t have already found out about it through Dexter’s inner monologues.
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob different show way different circumstances buddy.
I get what you're saying, but just like the Star Wars prequels. We knew how the story ended up, but we got to see how it got there.
But just like the prequels didn't quite add up to the original trilogy because of scriptwriting and character flatness, any Dexter spin-off (prequel or sequel) runs the same risk, but amplified moreso because Michael Hall IS the glue that holds everyone else together. He was by far one of the most perfect characters ever put together for a series. He appealed to different parts of our personality- humor, vengeance, personality quirks/awkwardness, overcoming tragedy or victimhood. Without Michael C. Hall, I don't have a lot of faith in the off-shoots.
@@JohnSmith-wh2ob Yeah but that's BCS. The writers are far superior
IF THERE IS NO MICHAEL C. HALL, THERE IS NO DEXTER.
No need to yell.
Agreed
@@musashi.miyamoyo true , my ears hurt
If it was Harrison he could be his Harry or Deb.
I stopped watching this season after episode I. I didn't like the rustic feel for Dexter in New Blood.
I just decided to finish watching it . Omg I was so disgusted with the ending. No improvement to the ending of episode 8.
Not interested in any new angle with Michael C Hall
A Harrison series might work if they had Michael C. Hall in it as Dexter as Harrison's "Dark Passenger" in the same way Harry was Dexter's.
if they had done the last season properly then maybe, but considering the mess that the last season was and how dirty they did dexter and harrison, no way in hell. i would not watch "asshole harrison" for a single episode the way they portrayed him. i will also not watch "idiot ghost dexter" for a single episode either, thoguh. xD
I don't trust the writers to even pull that off well. They made Debra sooo obnoxious as Dexter's dark passenger or whatever she was supposed to be.
Imaginary Harry got annoying in the later seasons of the original run and Deb was annoying in New Blood so Dexter in Harrison's head would be the same.
@@nicholasbella7459 good point. better than what we are offered right now, though. at least there would have been potential.
@@Xehanort10 yeah, but it they hadn't killed her off, she would not have been in new bllod. but i get your gist and i agree, they would most likely have messed that up as well.
so bottom line ... as coy said ... just let it die ... please.
Michael C. Hall makes Dexter, the hell is the point without him?
It makes no sense to have a season 2 of Dexter: New Blood without Dexter.
You can't have a Dexter season without Michael C Hall, the only thing I can think of that would possibly work is that somehow dexter survives or something. Again.
The Dark Defender could make for a alternate universe Dexter show, where the story is based off the in-universe comics of the Punisher-like Vigilante he was depicted as, this time set in New York. That scene in New Blood where Dexter tells Harrison about the clown he killed with fourth wall breaks and Batman nods was really fun. Michael C Hall could also play this version of the character, a Jim Gordon esq Detective could also be on his case the whole time. The ending could cut to him waking up from a coma, turns out the gun wound didn't kill him, it only put him asleep like Deb, only Dexter wakes up >then New Blood Season 2, Harrison finds out his father is still alive.
You’re on the money Cody! Origins is the only slightly intriguing one, but ONLY if they brought back Michael C. Hall to narrate
Honestly, the Harrison spinoff sounds way better than the Dexter origin story. Just sad those are the choices.
Yeah, I really don't wanna see recastings.
If there was a Bryan Moser Spinoff about his past in New Jersey, i would watch it ngl
Lundy and his prior cases would be the most interesting.
Could easily bump into and narrowly miss a few famous killers from the show, that kind of deageing on certain killlers/the people who play them
I know u don't do news and announcement videos like these a lot but I always look forward to them everytime u do posts them(if that made sense).
I agree. The "best" one is the Trinity origin one, but his story is too dark to be its own series. He was great as a Dexter villain, but who wants to watch this guy go through his cycle of killing innocent people? He was even horrible to his own family. Dexter's early years were adequately covered in the original series. The only thing they could do is take a third shot at an ending and say what happened was Dexter's own dream of where things were headed and then pick up at some point in the Season 1 story. Yeah, it's a cheesy approach, but not as bad as all their current ideas. It's the only thing that would kindle some interest too, because Michael C. Hall would be in it. It's amazing how clueless these people are about what the appeal of their own show was. They seem to believe we all want to see multiple spinoffs about serial killers. Bizarre.
"Dahmer" has been a massive success so far...
Cory, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just say the final episode was all a dream sequence and start from there and have Batista still on his way up from Miami.
11:44 A Trinity prequel would either have to end with his first ever kill cycle or cut to the bathtub kill at the start of Season 4.
But what would the show even be about? Watching him kill innocent people? Some sort of moral conflict within him?
@@anthonyf616 It'd probably start with the accidental death of Arthur's sister Vera, go into Arthur's dad's abuse of him after his mother's suicide, him killing his dad and the like.
If Michael c.hall comes back and Dexter survived somehow that's the only way it's gonna be anything good. And I hate the idea myself but anymore of Dexter would be great.
After the awful ending in "New Blood," I have no faith in these new shows. Paramount + / Showtime are definitely milking Dexter for $. Dexter deserves so much more for how great it was in the earlier seasons. The fact that the fans are upset over more Dexter content shows how they seriously mishandled this series' relaunch.
When I heard the news of this, I rolled my eyes. These people did a BANG up job of fleshing his character out throughout the original series. We got the important flashbacks. We got the history. We don't need a prequel to tell us anything else. We know it all. There wouldn't be any surprises. Not to mention, you can't replace MCH or Jennifer Carpenter's chemistry and you would need a great Deb as well as a great Dexter to even make this work.
As for the spinoff with Harrison. NO thank you. Harrison was one of the worst things about the reboot and given that I wasn't a big fan of that ending, I have no desire to see where this goes. You literally killed off everyone that could've made this interesting. If you wanted a season 2 of New Blood, maybe you should've had that Bautista storyline go somewhere, but no. Nope. You killed of your main character and gave the torch to some kid who didn't deserve it. And for what? Because if he starts seeing a 'dark passenger' then he killed his father for no reason and that's just gonna make me madder. At this point, leave this character alone and just live with the fact that you botched it. Twice. You almost had it...but alas...no.
I also have no need to see how Trinity started or how Brian started. The writers did what they should've done when they introduced these characters and wrote them well...as they were. We don't need a prequel because there is NO where to go. We know how it ends. There is no point. Trinity never gets caught. Ever. Where is the drama there?
There are literally no stories to tell and I have no interest in wasting my time with another series where they can't carry it through.
Exactly. In the series's flashbacks they showed Dexter's mother's murder, Harry teaching him how to kill and get away with it and his first kills. So an origin show is pointless.
The ONLY way I'd be interested in any new Dexter related material is if Micheal C Hall is in it period!
If they completely retcon "New Blood" I would totally return to the series...
About all I can think that could make Origins more interesting is if its not a prequel but follows Harrison and Dexter acting like Harry and trying to guide Harrison as he more or less falls into the same footsteps as his father causing Harrison to realize he really did need his Father. (If its not obvious I am NOT a fan of the finale, Personally they should have ended it with Dexter and Harrison driving together in the car at the end of EP7 when Harrison said he wants to be like Dexter]
My Biggest question WHO THE HELL HAS BEEN TAKING CARE OF VINCENT VAN GOAT THE III
I'd rather see a hard reboot that follows the book series (which was completely different from the show after season one) if anything
One thing I’d love to see (it’ll never happen)
You - Season 5 could take place with Joe Goldberg and Kate moving to Florida to escape the events that took place in the last season and get a fresh start.
Joe Goldberg inevitably falls into trouble again as he always does, and finds himself paranoid throughout the season that he is being followed by a mysterious person....
Fast forward to the end of the season and Joe wakes up on Dexters table setting up a new Dexter series...
I know dexter is dead - but honestly I’d be over the moon if they just erased the ending of new blood and passed it off as a dream or something because that ending was terrible.....
If they do Season 2 focusing on Harrison then it totally destroys the ending of Season 1 and Dexter being killed. The fans try and explain Dexter being killed as Harrison couldnt live with the fact that his dad was a serial killer, and that he actually never had the urge to kill. For him to move to NYC to fight his demons of wanting to kill?! WTF!
They just simply cannot let this series die after they’ve had TWO attempts to give it a proper ending and failed miserably. This idea seems even worse as we’ve already seen enough of his past in flashbacks. Why can’t they just let Dexter go for once and do something original?
The only way I'd watch a Harrison spin off is if Dexter is ghost dad
the only thing they could do was an anthology series about the origins of some of the killers (maybe even the 1 episode killers, and bring Michael C. Hall in some way around them) But not sure how that would go.
I've said my goodbyes to Dexter and made peace with the fact that I'll never be satisfied with it. I found the show during season 2 and I watched it through the rest of its run... gutted at the end of season 8, just waited for them to fix it... excitedly watched New Blood and enjoyed it until the last episode. I wasn't even mad like I was after season 8 for years after... after New Blood I was just done, figuratively and literally. I don't know what it would take for me to ever watch anything past season 5 again but none of these announcements are it.
I am looking forward to these spin-offs as much as I am looking forward to the next pandemic. Safe to say, not at all.
I love series Dexter só mutch I just wish they'd try again and pretend the last episode didn't exist
The only good thing about New blood was the fact that I found your channel when I was so mad about how they decided to end it lol,and they have the audacity to make a spin off ? No I'm good with the OG Dexter seasons
Lol same
If they do a harrison spin off he better have a ghost dexter as his ghost harry or deb.
That laugh at 07:30 had me rollin 🤣
I would watch a Doakes spin off
That might actually be good if it was the same actor
@Travis C picture it him dealing with his own dark passenger or shadow self during his black ops days
Nah a Brian moser spin off would be better but yea why not
@@Stoicdexter I think you may be right
He's dead 💀💀
Showtime is quickly showing they are desperate for lots of viewers and no more originality for newer content. Thank You for telling it like it is Cody🙏🏿
What’s funny is they are going to get smoked by Apple TV because of it. Apple TV is taking the exact opposite approach. They are trying new things and seeing what works and running with what works. They are not doing spin-off after spin off
@@blankname6629 absolutely. I don’t watch Apple TV but at least I see and they do have original new content of their own on there.
*originality what's that?*
@@thehorroranalog2943 it means making your own thing.
Back a few years I really rated Showtime as a platform. If they stuck with making new and fresh content we wouldn't be talking now.
I agree with you on Dexter: Origins. We all love Michael C. Hall. ONE thing i really love about Dexter, is his VOICE! To me, his voice is a huge part of Dexter. I DO NOT want a Harrison spinoff whatsoever. I agree with you on this. No John Lithgow in Trinity: Origin?! WOW. Nope! If they got a great young actor for Trinity: Origin i would try and watch. The other two is a no from me.
Completley agree man
WHY!?
I feel like I've already been murdered by Dexter. Twice.
You were on his table? What did you do?
@@clintonkildepsteen3982 I apparently watched the finale of the show. The second time really was more of a 'shame on me' moment.
Dexter Origins if Michael C Hall did the narrating. I still watch seasons 1, 2 and 3 for his monologues.
You were bang on with every point
"All three of these ideas make me cringe, they make my fuckin' balls ache."
Never change Cody. Never change.
Neveeerrrr
They would never do it, but they could give us a "reboot" or separate version of the series that more closely adapts the books where they and the show diverged. That would at least be....something.
What about a adult themed dexter animated series. You can go with any time line. Michal C Hall can voice. I’d be stoked for that.
I wouldnt mind a Doakes origjns. We didnt get to know him too well.
What's interesting about him?
@@anthonycampos8057 what made him so dam angry all the time lol
@@georgehernandez2156 no. What made him interesting was his dislike of Dexter.
@@georgehernandez2156 being black
Idea I pulled out of my ass. Angel focused sequel. Getting back into police work and runs into someone that reminds him of Dexter. Outwardly likable but something dark underneath. (A straight serial killer tho...not like with morals)A small mini season about Angel trying to correct his past mistakes by bringing a new killer to justice. We could also have him dealing with finding out Dexter was the BHB...you know...something we wanted to see in New Blood.
Not really too curious about the other options. Il probably read the internet opinions on them hahha
It's sad to bay harbor butcher go out like this. Like we already had gotten Dexter Early Cuts that would probably tell the same thing
I just dont understand what the fuck the writers were thinking when it came to the ending of New Blood. I could see that they tried pulling the whole "you can never outrun your past" bs and "dexter created his own misfortunes by living his life the way he did" but having Harrison kill him at the end over Coach was such BS. The dude brought him dinner once IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET MORE INFO ABOUT THE CASE FROM HIM and he got all butthurt over some random dude vs his father he traveled acros the world and multiple states for, and then blamed him for all his fucking problems and shot him to solve it. Literally Dexter knew that Hannah Mckay could handle herself better than any woman out there and knew the life she dreamed of(living on a peaceful farm) and wanted that for harrison. He believed she was alive and they were better off without him which was the dumbest thing they couldve planted in his head. If he had juat gone to them after faking his death in season 8 we mightve actually enjoyed the ending. Same with New Blood, all they needed to do was have him do his usual Dexter Morgan Bs and wiggle out of that situation with his police gf and batista and sneak out in the black of night with Harrison to start a new journey and properly pass him the touch as the Bay Harbor Butcher. What killed me the most is how much i enjoyed dexter blood till ep 10. The comedy felt so familiar and the way characters were introduced fit so well. Another problem was just how they handled characters like Angela and Harrison. Their drives and motives changed per episode and who they were talking to. You could really tell they filmed all this shit backwards
Just the fact alone that he killed Harrison's coach to begin with was like a slap in the face for me. As far as I remember Dexter has never once gone out of his way to kill someone that he KNEW was innocent just because it helped him. He already had Angela going to investigate Kurt's property to find the bunker. All he had to do was wait for her to see it and come back and no one would ever believe that Dexter was responsible for Matt Caldwell's murder when Kurt had such a high body count, especially when Kurt was lying for half the season trying to cover up the fact that he knew his son was dead. No one would overlook something like that to focus on the purely (albeit HUGE amount of) circumstantial evidence that Angela was pinning on Dexter, someone that the entire town seemed to adore throughout the whole season.
The good news is, I doubt any of these will actually make it to filming.
If only you had been right.
I think the origin of Dexters brother the ice truck driver and what happen and how he grew up, but the issue again is the recasting of the people.
A hospital drama noo
You are certainly speaking for this Dexter fan. Whilst the prospect of more in the Dexter universe is exciting, these announcements absolutely come off as tone-deaf. I’m in huge agreement- if Michael C. Hall isn’t there, it just isn’t Dexter.
Additionally, as you covered, we KNOW the origins. We know a lot of the Trinity killer’s history- is the show just going to focus on him committing his sprees over and over ad nauseam until he finally shows up in Miami? I just don’t know…. especially because John Lithgow STOLE THE SHOW with that character.
New Blood Season 2…. I didn’t hate the show or despise the ending as much as many others did, but I really don’t know if I have any excitement for another season. I just don’t care enough about Harrison’s character as a show lead especially if he’s written the same way as the first season.
Thanks for the awesome content Cody! I learned about these announcements from you so a big thanks for that. Always love hearing your thoughts!
WHYYYYY are they doing this? We already know everything we need to know about Dexter's past. I guess I'll take this over a Harrison show.
Dexter Origins doesnt sound bad at all , Id love to see more of the origin and James Remar as Dexters Dad again would be great to watch cause you didnt get to see their actual relationship other than he taught Dex the code. So yes Im all for a Dexter Origins, I like the idea of season 2 for new blood but season 1 finally was just bad. I dont want to watch Trinity origins.
Y no for trinity tho?
I’m just surprised they’re not trying to pull off the trick of pretending the finales were just dreams.
lol a Dexter origin story reminds me of when they did a flashback of Dexter in whatever season and it was just him in that wit still looking 36 lmao
@ 7:30 not only is your laugh at that moment contagious but that was legit hysterical AF, I can't stress how)) many times I replayed that and laughed along with you. The audacity to even day that is ridiculous.
No wait, you know what would be awe some ? if they started a Harrison spin off have us all boo and then introduce Dexter back in the third episode >< hahaha
I think the Harrison origin story could work because as they like doing with the dead people from the show, I could see Dexter going along with him in his visions and in his mind that way we could have Michael c Hall still
Was the animated mini-series ‘Dexter: Early Cuts’ not somewhat of an origin story for Dexter?
I would like to see the whole childhood of Dexter instead of bits of it in the original series
Why? We saw the bits that were important to the show. He never did anything big, that's exactly the point of Harry's code. There is nothing that needs to be shown.
This is salt in the wound for me😡 None of these sound good to me. You are on point as usual, Cody.
I don't know how anybody in their right mind thought either of those endings were satisfying conclusions. I was in literal disbelief after both finales that anyone would greenlight the absolute trash they gave us. I was super excited for new blood because it looked very promising but the writers couldn't resist butt fucking the fans one last time.
As usual, another spot on opion from you on Dexter. It is so frustrating that they can't seem to get this show right. I agree, I don't care about an origin story as we have already gotten that in a sense. I would like to see some of the old characters like Doakes, but I can't imagine it would be the same actors, so I'm out.
What's happening with the Trinity killer spin off
Totally agree with everything you said! I consider the first 4 seasons my favorite collection of any tv show ever. I like seasons 5-7 but not anything like the first four. We won't discuss 8 and that shit ending! I tried my best to like New Blood and got some joy out of it just because it was giving me more Michael C Hall as Dexter. Like you, I hated the writing for Harrison and hated the ending. No f'n interest in anything Dexter without MCH!!! The Trinity spinoff could be interesting as its own thing, perhaps mixing some Lithgow as flash forwards in the story and have him narrate. He's such a great voice actor as well.
Good points ! Agreed Cody. It's just gonna hurt biting that unripe apple
Omg >< It's like they watched your channel that faithful evening and thought, Wait yes, That's a great idea that Cody throw us for free. Let's do that ! Lol
Oh Dexter the serial killer of serial killers. I thought you meant the little genius boy with a laboratory that spoke with a German accent.
It would not be based at all on the past history of the show. It would be the beginning of Harrisons part exploring his past IN regards to his Fathers. He himself of course will become a serial killer with Dexter (if the Michael Hall agrees to be part of it all, ) plays the part of harry.
making a doakes in the military show is something i would watch so fast, please do that
Please God, no.
Hey Cody, did you ever wander if they were initially gaslighting us into being pissed about the ending of NEWBLOOD to keep us engaged (whether it be out of hate or love for it) just to later discover in a follow up season that the entire scene in the woods and when he broke the cops neck in the cell were all just on his head and his classic way of trying to play out scenarios in his mind before choosing to act on them? That would have been a fucking blessed twist to bring us back into some real DEXTER and open up a variety of possible character interactions (face to face with Batista that would ultimately lead to him bringing Dexter back to Miami and watching him undergo the death sentence) that would have given us as fans more closure for the series? Your thoughts Brother🎉?
I have no interest in a Harrison spinoff. As far as the other two I'm a little more hopeful. The concerns you have are valid, but you could have said the same for Hannibal. That's at least one example of it working.
Well hmmm no brian moser, no trinity, no doakes. No c hall. Im abouta cry I would'nt mind a spin off about brian becuase he had to find his brother and start spying on him that in the span of 20 years
Let it die!!! The only thing good to come out of the last season finale is finding your channel. I won't watch anything else they put out if it has to do with Dexter.
Is the intro song an actual song? Just wondering. It's a nice riff
They make all these shows and yet we still don’t get Season 4 of Hannibal
Agree 100%. Your post got me thinking what I would want to see. The answer is… nothing at all lol. The Dexter ship has sailed for me. If forced to think of something… well, the only thing that I would possibly be interested in would be something like Harrison coming to Miami as the new serial killer (as an actual bad guy that we can root against) and watch the characters we love at Miami PD (Batista & sis, Quinn, Masuka) bumble their way around trying to solve the case (unsuccessfully no doubt, just like the good ol days). Those characters really got the shaft in terms of an ending but they were beloved and it could work with the older actors in the present day. It could also bring back the vibe of the original series. They could even have introduce a new detective similar to Doakes. For more New Blood connection, the chief from Alaska (Dexter’s gf) could come and help them track Harrison down since she knows him. Hell, it’s a stretch but… trying to think of something watchable here lol since apparently Paramount is so desperate for content
Chief Angela from Alaska? Hahaha.
@@dashriprock8596 lol ok ok, it’s a stretch. But to be fair, Dexter New Blood did the same thing by implying Batista was on his way to Alaska in the last episode. Another example of how the side characters from the original series consistently got the shaft
@@jlee2383 Iron Lake, N.Y. is where the show takes place.
@@dashriprock8596 you’re right. Oops. Shows how much the storyline of that season stuck with me 🤪
The only way for them to make Dexter: Origins watchable if they cast Cameron Monaghan as a younger Dexter cause he is a great actor too and looks like Michael C Hall.
They should make a spin off show that features a whole new character that exist in the same universe. No connection to Dexter per say, but a whole new character entirely.
Season 2 will open with Dexter waking up in the hospital after surviving his gunshot wound, escapes, and then goes looking for Harrison who has vanished. He just crosses the US as a fugitive and kills random people trying to track down Harrison who may or may not be dead until the shocking season finale. Ok problem solved, please mail me a check Showtime.
I would prefer a spiritual sequel that uses the same tone and themes of Dexter but just follows a new different charismatic killer, but they dont have the balls to test a new IP idea like that.
Maybe a straight up reboot? a page one rewrite of the whole franchise in a different setting.
I bet the Origins show starts with the end of New Blood. Right before Harrison pulls the trigger, and Michael C Hall closes his eyes, just to get the fan service, then TITLE CARD. And his life flashes before his eyes.
New Blood season 2 I’m mildly interested in but I have an idea it will turn into a Dexter paint-by-numbers reboot of him struggling with everything then being a vigilante. Maybe we will get more fan service to Batista’s call made in the last episode.
The Trinity one is weird. We know his origin and we know his MO. Kinda the same idea as Origins. But it might be interesting seeing the drama of his first time doing it. I have faith in the casting but John Lithgow is what made that character so menacing.
Why did Showtime kill off the character "Dexter" ?! & the only thing I can think of is "they were tired of making a shit load of money" !
It's simple.
1.Michael C.Hall has to be Dexter.
2.It has to be filmed in LA or another big city.
3.The end to be good.
4.The serie should be a continue of new blood with dexter alive
Most of Dexter's moral growth was shown during the original series, making an origin story pretty pointless.
Season 8 ending was fine for me. It was the rest of the season that was shitty. Dexter dropping Deb into the water was pretty symbolic in that everyone closest to him gets hurt/dies. The pacing to get there was a disaster though.
I actually really enjoyed New Blood... until that train wreck of an ending. That might have single handedly been the worst ending of anything I have every watched. All they had to do was make ONE more season and the cliffhanger could have been Dexter walking into the interrogation room and Bautista sitting there... so many opportunities and no..... they have to turn Dexter into some out of control pitbull who just contracted rabies.
Unless it gets insanely good reviews I will not be watching these.
Exactly, showtime tied their hands and they weren’t allowed to kill him off. They did what they could.
Me personally, I'd like a Brian Moser spinoff. There is so much of his story untold and it would add a lot more to the S1 finale. (Also S1 of dexter is my favourite season of any Television show of all time.)
Yes please
I agree they need to let this series die, the only interesting storyline I could possibly think of that could give Dexter fans some sort of saving grace for the original is a limited series of 2 to 3 seasons max where Batista has to find a reemerged serial killer that eluded the original cast when Dexter first joined the team and still just learning the ropes, that way you can go back with flashbacks of Dexter first meeting the group with Debra and include a very interesting serial killer that entices people to want to keep watching.
The best spinoff would be, Dexter is in Harrisons Head. In L.A.
No shit! I literally just finished Dexter: New Blood! Can’t believe I didn’t see the notification before!
It be cool of they would a 2 hour episode of the the day Rita died. Showing us what she went through leading up to her death. What trinity might have said to her . That would be something I would like to see.
After they butchered the finale a second time I absolutely have no interest in checking any of that shit out
Only thing I’d want to see from a trinity show is the moment he called Rita. They kinda did that in New Blood but I’d love to see Julie Benz reprise her role
You and I are on the same page regarding all of Dexter. WTF all this crap
I confess when I seen the negative title of this video I was shouting at my computer but after actually watching the video I agree with almost everything you said 😂, I would like to see a series with Dexter's brother growing up and becoming a killer though because I don't remember hearing much about his upbringing other than the fact that he was separated from Dexter at a very early age
The Good Era : Dexter Season One// Dexter Season Two// Dexter Season Three// Dexter Season Four
The Good Enough Era : Dexter Season Five// Dexter Season Six
The Meh//God Awful Era : Dexter Season Seven//Dexter Season Eight
The God Damn Disappointing Era : Dexter : New Blood
The Who Knows Maybe It Will Be Good, Because In my opinion, once you go down there’s nowhere to go but up Era : Dexter New Blood Season Two// Harrison Spin Off// Trinity Series// Dexter Origins
Just for hearing the concepts of these shows for dexter makes me throw up through my ears !!!!! RIDICULOUS!!! To me Dexter is in my top 5 favorite series !!! Nice 8 seasons and I love the lumberjack finale and that’s it !!! It ended right there and the series already had flashbacks showing young dexter ! To me the only thing would excite me today about dexter would be a cool video game. Great 8 seasons and an amazing show !!!
Probably an unpopular opinion but Dexter season 7 was one of my favorite seasons. I know this wouldn’t appeal to the masses, but a prequel show centered around Isaak Sirko could be written well because he was such a compelling character.
Good actor but boring character. The gay killer. Who cares. The rest of the season was turned over to Hannah plot which was stupid and boring.
Scary good argument on the *whys* these 'contents' are being made! So, 🤔and remembering, how CW (Eric Kripke and team) really stretched the 'narrative' of "Supernatural" 🙄from 2005 to 2020 - with spinoffs too! Perhaps, creative Writers may add a dose of supernatural to every' origins story that's already been told 😅
