Horrible Disappointment
I cannot begin to tell you how disappointing this revival already is, nor how convoluted the character of Dexter has remained. If you're like me and you found it fundamentally asinine that he left his son to a serial killer (ya know the one who tried to kill Deb before another one finally succeeded?) in an effort to keep his son safe from serial killers, hold onto something because he's apparently spent the last ten years getting dumber. He now lives thousands of miles from his previous home in Miami, in a small town where he enjoys the company of his gay boss, a cop girlfriend (who looks a lot like Deb), and her daughter (who acts a lot like Astaire). It seems the need to avoid loved ones doesn't apply when it comes to Dexter's insatiable need for ... a girlfriend. Oh, and he goes by Jim now. He's no longer a killer and he just loves line dancing. Yeah. Enter the villain. The worst person Dex--er, Jim--has encountered in the last ten years. The one who's going to bring him back into the fold and force him to pick up his cleaver once again. A spoiled rich kid who happens to kill Jim's favorite deer. That's right, a deer. But don't worry, this kid is really bad. A super high party boy told us so. Remember the Dexter who vetted his victims so thoroughly, he required more evidence than the police in order to convict? And he had to prove their intent to kill again before they earned a place on his table? I remember a Dexter who had such a strong code, one couldn't help wondering if they were actually on the side of the bad guy at all--if the real bad guys were the ones in badges letting these monsters run free because of some arbitrary statute or law. We'd even find ourselves reading the news from time to time and wondering, "Man, where are the Dexters of the world?" It was a wild, morally ambiguous ride, and I'm sad to say it's over for good. Disembark, folks--nothing to see here.
