Dexter: New Blood Episode 8
I wrote at length last week about how Dexter: New Blood has its foot on the brake rather than the gas late in the season, a problem that suggested maybe a 10-episode order was too much time to fill. That criticism is given more teeth with “Unfair Game,” which keeps Dexter busy with a secondary antagonist and spends more time driving home information that we already knew about Harrison. The detour allows Angela some time to catch up on the true identity of her boyfriend and what he may have been up to when she was out of town following the Matt Caldwell case, but otherwise this sub-45-minute episode once again feels like its main task is to stretch for time.

Dexter New Blood Episode 6
Dexter Morgan and Kurt Caldwell are on a collision course. It’s not just that Iron Lake is too small for two serial killers, it’s also the fact that both men seem to be fighting for the soul of Harrison.
Obviously, Dexter is conflicted with whether he should open up to his son. Not many people would react to news of their dad being a serial killer well, but because of their history and the resentment Harrison already feels, plus his worsening mental state and desire to “hurt people,” Dexter is probably the best person for Harrison to talk to. However, Dexter’s self-preservation is actively making their situation worse and driving Harrison directly into the arms of Kurt, who seems eager to nurture Harrison’s violent impulses. Also, in classic teenager fashion, the more Dexter protests this budding relationship,...

Dexter just can't help himself.
On Dexter: New Blood Season 1 Episode 5, Dexter took revenge on the man responsible for harming his son -- forgoing Harry's Code for something more primal.
Is he finally getting himself into a mess from which he can't escape?
Michael C. Hall continues to kill it (in every way) as Dexter. He knows this character inside and out, and it shows. Every inflection, every nuanced movement, every sideways glance -- you can tell he relishes this role.
Hall's Dexter is so intriguingly conflicted. He knows he has to tread lightly with Harrison, but he still manages to screw it up. The more he tries to get Harrison to open up to him, the more Harrison pulls away -- and possibly under the wing of an even more terrifying serial killer.
Dexter's humanity is no longer up for debate. In the early seasons of the original series,...

Dexter Morgan may have pulled a fast one on the residents of Iron Lake, but when the cops call in the dogs, it’s probably time to ditch the dead guy.
In Sunday’s episode of Dexter: New Blood, the town remains on the hunt for Matt Caldwell, who we know became Dexter’s first kill after breaking his abstention from murder. But the pressure and the stakes are raised when a bit of found footage reveals a second figure lurking about the scene of the crime. Can Dexter continue weaseling his way out of this one, and where’s...

Dexter: New Blood Episode 3
Dexter has always been at its best when its titular character has his back against the wall. The issue is that as the series progressed, Dex wiggled out of harm’s way far too easily and far too often, repeatedly saved by coincidence and intervening third parties. It reached a point where it seemed that our anti-hero would walk away from a tight spot with nothing more than a shrug, having learned nothing. Dexter: New Blood still finds the charismatic killer to be a little too slippery and a little too lucky, but there’s enough mounting pressure from mysterious figures like Kurt Caldwell (Clancy Brown) and newly arrived true crime podcaster Molly Park (Jaime Chung) to suggest that Dex is only turning down the heat, not escaping it completely.

It wasn’t the first time Dexter Morgan had to get himself out of a sticky situation, and surely, it won’t be the last.
In this Sunday’s episode of Dexter: New Blood, one of TV’s most awkward father/son reunions was interrupted when police enforcement (and the whole dang town of Iron Lake) descended upon Dexter’s property to search for the recently missing Matt Caldwell. Little do they know, Dexter had already hacked up and hidden Matt’s body by the end of last week’s premiere. With the bloody remains still lurking about, Dexter had...

Dexter: New Blood Episode 2
For a guy who’s supposed to be laying low, living under an assumed identity to avoid being recognized, caught, and convicted as a prolific serial killer, Dexter Morgan sure picked a hell of a love interest to get involved with.
If it’s not bad enough that the ever-awkward former blood analyst embedded himself in town so thoroughly that even the natives on the nearby reservation are on a first name basis with “Jim,” Dexter also had to cozy up to a chief of police that has already proven to be far smarter than the inept employees of Miami Metro. Dexter’s closeness to Angela and Iron Lake’s police department may have its benefits — he’s given free rein to clean up after himself following Matt Caldwell’s disappearance and subsequent search party — but it’s risky behavior for...

Dexter Morgan’s dark passenger had been dormant for nearly 10 years, but following Sunday’s Dexter: New Blood premiere, it’s safe to say his kill room has officially reopened for business.
While the former blood spatter analyst had created a peaceful life for himself under a fake alias, the return of his now-teenaged son Harrison, plus the added pressure from a smarmy, drug-abusing delinquent, sent Dexter’s dark side into a tailspin. He could no longer control himself, and by the end of the hour, he had claimed his first — and presumably not last — victim of the revival. (Click...

In the pantheon of shows known for having the “worst series finale” of all time, Showtime’s “Dexter” is right at the top. Since the episode titled “Remember the Monsters?” originally aired eight years ago, anti-hero serial killer Dexter Morgan faking his own death and pivoting to becoming a lumberjack has been a shorthand for what a show shouldn’t do when it finally ends, even if it’s ending on top or on its own terms. And while “Dexter” remained a hit for Showtime — lasting 96 episodes over eight seasons — plenty of arguments have been made by fans and critics that the series should’ve ended with its fourth season, the much beloved Trinity Killer (John Lithgow) season. That would also be the final season with original series showrunner Clyde Phillips — who is back as showrunner for “Dexter: New Blood” — before series writer Scott Buck took the reins.

Florida has decided to move forward on a recount of its tight races for governor, senator and agriculture commissioner. Meanwhile, Arizona and Georgia are also contemplating recounts for their extremely tight gubernatorial and senate races.
The stakes are high for each state, as a final determination will decide whether the Republicans have a comfortable edge in the Senate, or a narrow majority. Democrat governors in the affected states would also have an outsize influence on the presidential race in 2020. The Florida and Georgia elections in particular drew heavy celebrity interest and fundraising.
The Florida secretary of state announced the recount today. The unofficial results have Republican Gov. Rick Scott leading incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson by more than 12,500 votes, or about .15%.
In Florida’s governor race, Republican former Rep. Ron DeSantis is ahead of Democrat Andrew Gillum by nearly 34,000 votes, for a lead of .41%. The agriculture commissioner – a key post...

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin confronted a Florida lawmaker on Wednesday, demanding an answer on why the Republican-controlled state legislature chose to declare pornography a health risk but declined debate on a separate gun control bill. “Why is pornography a bigger health risk than semi-automatic weapons in the hands of a deranged individual?” Baldwin repeatedly asked Florida state Rep. Matt Caldwell. In Tuesday’s session — less than a week after 17 people were killed in a shooting at a Florida high school — the Florida House of Representatives shut down debate on a bill that would ban assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition magazines. The bill...
