Christmas special episode 2: Dexter New Blood

Dexter New Blood 2021

 


Dexter new blood, set 10 years after the original series follows Dexter under his new life as Jim Linsey in Iron Lake, New York, a small, isolated town, covered in snow during the Christmas period the show is set in.

The episode in this limited series that covers Christmas day is episode 9, titled ‘The Family Business’, and entails Dexter, under the alias of Jim Linsey, finally reconnecting with his estranged son.

The episode begins with Dexter explaining to his son Harrison that he hints down serial killers, and ‘scares them back into becoming reformed’, leaving out the part about killing them in fear Harrison wouldn’t understand. The episode then moves onto Dexter and Harrison spending Christmas day alongside Dexter's girlfriend and her adoptive daughter before being interrupted by a visitor.

This visitor was Kurt Caldwell, who after discovering the evidence found out that Dexter had killed and incinerated Kurt's son, all whilst Dexter knew Kurt was involved in the disappearance of young women in the Iron Lake area.

This surprise appearance gives us viewers a huge rise in tension just as we saw the characters enjoying Christmas quickly shifting to both Dexter and Harrison traveling to Kurt's


property to find concrete evidence of his kidnappings. All whilst this is happening, Dexter's girlfriend Angela confronts Dexter about who he really is, as she has discovered his identity wasn’t that of Jim Linsey.

The episode then concludes with Dexter and Harrison discovering the secret of Kurt Caldwell, finding out he freezes and preserves the bodies of the women he kidnapped,  before subduing Kurt and Dexter being forced to kill him in front of Harrison.

This episode’s actions set up the events of the final episode of the series, where Dexter has to face not just the police discovering his identity as the BHB, but also facing Harrison and the actions of his past.

  Whilst this episode isn't exactly a 'Christmas' special, iv decided to make a post on it following the feedback from my first post on Dexter.

      Pilot to Finale   Every show has a first episode, and will inevitably have a last, a Pilot and a Finale . In this blog I plan to talk about some of my most recent watches on the various streaming services that dig into my wallet every month, all to make a brief, informing and hopefully entertaining summary of some of these watches. October 01, 2024 Shows to watch on the lead up to Halloween  Psychological thrillers, Dark Comedy, Crime dramas and shows with Horror elements are my personal favourite type of shows, and they are only made better when its the time of year where everything is getting spooky, when the nights are darkening earlier and shadows are starting to loom.  Some of my recent watches include the infamous 2006 'Dexter' as well as the more recent and still ongoing show 2018 'You', which is heavily inspired off of the former. And to keep with the horror theme, a rundown 2010's 'The Walking Dead' will follow my review and suggestions for e...

                         Dexter  2006-2013 Dexter, premiering in 2006, is a show following the character 'Dexter Morgan', a man who due to a traumatic childhood trauma, grew the urge to kill. The story follows Dexter, age 35 Working as a Blood Spatter Analysist for Miami Metro Police alongside his foster Sister Debra by day, but by night he becomes a vigilante serial killer, taking out those that the justice system misses out on. Across its 8 seasons we see 'Dexter' captivate audiences with its unique premise and moral ambiguity and makes us as views ask ourselves is Dexter Morgan just in what he is doing? The character of Dexter Morgan is a man who, due to witnessing his biological mother being murdered in front of him as a child, developed psychopathic tendencies, which resulted in him having very little emotion, especially towards the beginning of the show as well as violent urges, with the need to kill.  Des...
