Angela couldn’t figure out how the girls were going missing for decades when they were all at some point at Kurt’s diner but all the sudden goes master detective mode and figures out Dexter when Miami Metro couldn’t? Idk man that part didn’t sit w me.

Im literally just going to nickname this season Dexter: Blue Balls.

Clancy Brown acted his ass off every moment he was onscreen, he deserved to be in a good season

What I find the most annoying is that Dexter had already won. Dexter could have said that he discovered Kurt's secret and Kurt threatened him and Harrison. That would explain his house burning down and Kurt's escape, as well as Kurt trying to frame Dexter. Those last 20 minutes of the episode where so poorly written that it is insulting.

It's funny how someone like Dexter, who was working in Miami with FBI agents, with a smart person like Lundy, didn't get caught. Then a simple agent who did not know Dexter suspected him with some superficial evidence Season 9 made Dexter look like an amateur, it was ridiculous

The entire series can be summed up with this conversation: Dexter: Oh, hey son! How was school? Harrison: Fine. Dexter: Listen, so I found this switchblade, this unregistered gun, this noose, this nuclear bomb, and some ricin in your backpack- Harrison: OH SO YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO ACCUSE ME OF ANYTHING WHEN YOU ABANDONED ME?!?!?!?!?! Also this is late but thank you for covering this series. I have very mixed feelings on it haha

The biggest letdown (for me) was not utilizing Batista at all. THAT'S the confrontation we needed. Kurt should've been sort of a red herring antagonist and then off him mid-season. Dexter thinks he's in the clear but then Batista arrives in Iron Lake and we get a sort of cat and mouse season 2 Dexter being chased by Doakes redux except just with Batista this time. And there's a lot of gold to be mined from that meeting and confrontation because Batista actually liked Dexter. And probably still would be more interested in helping him rather than putting a bullet into him. So much could've been done with that and they did nothing..

Harrison all of a sudden being willing to kill his father (aka the one person that understands him truly) over his gym coach is what I thought was the worst offense. Even if it was a realization that Dexter indirectly causes the deaths of everyone around him, why would Logan be the straw that broke the camel's back? He knew the guy for like a month or so

I thought Dexter's confession and killing Logan was BS. "Someone" Drops off some titanium screw and a note claiming Dexter killed Matt, and then Angela finds a titanium screw in the burned out ruin of Dexter's house. And that doesn't strike her as fishy at all. It would have been rather easy to point at Curt as doing a frame job, especially with the massive evidence of his "trophy room". And him murdering Logan like that seemed very out of character to me.

Another thing that annoyed me is they say that dex used ketamine A. Dex never used ketamine, he used M99 B. They never found out, (at least canonically), that he used drugs

"Dexter should've fed Matt's body to the bear" Dude you think more like Dexter than the actual writer's of Dexter!!!

The final screen with Harrison driving of I half expected ghost/ imaginary Dexter to be sitting beside him guiding him as his new conscience.

I agree tbh. I found the finale to be extra rushed. It just seemed like Harrison especially was written poorly, at one moment he loves his father and wants to be him then at the next he despises him and wants to kill him, it's like that the whole season until he finally just says fuck it im gonna kill you anyways. Like lmao, I thought Dexter could possibly die. But it just came out of no where context wise, and it felt like it was happening because "it had to happen". Also inviting Angel to IronLake and not delivering on that was also pretty dumb.

I gotta say, i agree with you across the board almost 100%. I think this new season had a really strong start, so strong that it fooled me into thinking they were actually gonna take the show and dexter himself in a new direction, but it ended up just being another season of missed opportunities, bad character work, and unsatisfying conclusions. This season couldn't even break their habit of just randomly forgetting about shit in the writers room. I dont even remember this characters name but there was this other older guy who was like a ceo or some shit and there was a protest against his business or whatever. Then he let angela borrow his helicopter for the search and tried to help audrey with her car. I think his only real point was to make you think for like half a second that maybe kurt isnt the big bad killer for this season but anyone who's seen dexter could so easily see this misdirection almost like it was a hallucinated man of religion. Overall another season of wasted opportunity brought to you by showtime, i had my fun with parts of this reboot but it just left an awkward taste in my mouth. If you want a more satisfying dexter experience just read the books.

Real talk though. I got so fucking happy when John Lithgow had his cameo appearance. Yeah it was a cameo but still it was so fucking cool.

The conversation with Harrison should have happened in episode 2 or 3. Whole season of Harrison being an angsty teen that scoffs and walks away while Dexter is a pussy that won't talk. How often is Harrison going to walk out the front door and Dexter just stands there looking at the floor? An extremely frustrating show indeed.

You forgot to mention the laziest symbolism in the history of symbolism: that Matt kills the white stag and the blood splatters all over Dexter, activating Dexter’s own blood rage. I can’t believe that the writers wrote it and the director let it happen because it’s the lowest hanging symbolic fruit ever.

I think Harrison should have been a killer since the beginning and should have been seeking Dexter's help to control his ''Dark Passenger''. I thought that's what they where doing when he told Dexter Hanna died from cancer without more explanation. He even saw his father knock out Matt in ep 1 but they never do anything with that. Harrison's was not constant at all as a character through the season since one episode he seems to be hiding information, the other he is manipulative to Dexter, than he is a wannabe vigilante/hero, then he goes to his girlfriend with a nife and is now violent, then he really needs Kurt approval, then a victim, etc. I had good times with Dexter's show since the beginning, but I think it's time for me to move on. To much frustrations with the writing and the direction of the show.

I could be wrong here I only watched each episode once and in some parts I got a bit distracted. But talking about the writers forgetting glaringly obvious things: I seem to remember Dexter getting shot in the leg and going head first through a car windshield or suffering some kind of head wound at the same time. He spent the episode limping around being hunted down by Kurts Henchman. Then in the very next day Dexter is perfectly fine and spending Christmas Day with his sheriff girlfriend and the injuries he sustained are never brought up again. Also Haden't she broken up with Dexter and was currently investigating him of being a serial killer? So why on earth would she have him over for Christmas Day and the night? Then at the end why did Dexter have to be completely truthful with Harrison and tell him he killed Logan? He could've lied and said they had a fight but Logan is injured and is fine? His priority was to escape with Harrison FIRST not stand about and have a conversation. Also how did the sheriff know him and Harrison would meet at that spot? And if it was so OBVIOUS to her that Dexter and his son would meet at that spot then why on earth WOULD Dexter arrange to meet his son for the brilliant escape at the exact place he KNEW the sheriff would go? Sloppy writing

One thing I liked was that Dexter thought Harrison was like him due to his violent urges, but Harrison was just a troubled kid that carries a lot of anger stemming from his father abandoning him.

LOL thank you for bringing up how STUPID it was that Angel didn't remember Harrison's name 😂

I remember noticing the shift in the first series when Dexter's dad went from flashbacks to full-on hallucinations, and was befuddled that it was never explored (at least to the point I stopped watching it). The implications of Dexter now justifying his more cavalier behavior with what he thinks his father would say, rather than recalling what he was taught, seemed like a great set-up for Dexter being consumed by his "dark passenger". There was even an episode where he realizes he murdered an innocent man, and I thought it would have far-reaching ramifications, being a catalyst to him making his own code, or outright abandoning it. But instead, Dex gets over it by the next episode. One of many missed opportunities that just came off as lazy writing.

Your analysis is great and made me think. For me, I thought New Blood was supposed to set things right with fans. It was confusing that he was triggered so easily after 10 years of restraint. And, why stay with the lumberjack environment when the original ending was so reviled? We also got only the worst parts of Deb - the unhinged rage machine. I hated all of her scenes. Your thoughts on Matsuka were spot on, but we got Batista and I felt cheated that he and Dexter didn’t have a scene together which could have added a lot of tension.

Harrison was wearing gloves and had his straight blade when he went to see Angela’s daughter. He was ready to finish off the kid at the hospital but the kids parents were there. They were writing something and dropped it half way through. Edit** I also would’ve preferred Masuka making his return.

Lundy,Batista,Laguerta,Douks couldn't catch up Dexter but some amateur cop which couldn't resolve a case of her missing friend more than 25 years caught Dexter. Not to mention that he decided to run from jail and kill a cop when there was not even one solid proof againt him.....that finale was worst than season 8 for sure

They need to re-shoot the finale and rewrite it, and re-release it asap to fix this. Stop the episode just before Dex kills the cop in the jail. Set up the suspense and tension of the interactions to come, between Dex, Harry, Bautista, and Angie. Then end it on a cliffhanger to be continued in season 2. Season 2 would finally give the proper time and development to the characters and the dire situation, plus provide the opportunity to bring about a resolution to what would ultimately be Dexter's end. There were SO many better ways this could have (and SHOULD HAVE) gone. The writers obviously did not know what they were doing, ran out of time and/or budget, and fast-tracked a rushed, illogical, and unsatisfying ending to our beloved character, Dexter. RIP.

I really like the coach logan kill...conceptually, but it felt really rushed and sloppy both narratively and from the perspective of Dexter's character, I really don't get why he did it he'd established reasonable doubt and it's not like he was on some time crunch to see Harrison. Sure he was told Batista was coming (why did Angela tell him that? Gives him all night to come up with lies and plans) but Batista has literally let him get away with murder and is also a fucking clown

Always great seeing you upload Captain Slip!

Some thing I thought could’ve been amazing is while Dexter is in the jail cell the ghost of innocence that he has killed directly or indirectly show up first starting with LaGuerta than Doakes then for last Rita just as an example

"first draft season" Holy shit that makes too much sense

what the hell happened to the evil Rich Man from ep1 the one who gave Hot coco to everyone outside.

I LOVE you for the Norm McDonald Live clip

So much potential.... God I miss the first 4 seasons of Dexter. Some of the best TV ever imo

It could have worked if it wasn't so weirdly drawn out and then rushed. It would have honestly been more interesting to have Kurt not be a Serial Killer, and just be a rich guy who fits the code. Would have been interesting to see Dexter teach Harrison the Code, while struggling with his reawakened desire to kill. Maybe that ten year hiatus did something to him, made him a bit more unhinged. Would have been interesting to see Dexter slowly devolve into just a killer, twisting the code steadily to accommodate his descent. At least then Harrison killing Dexter would have made sense. Anything else would have been better though. There was a time I thought they'd have Harrison turn out to be a serial killer, and have Dexter struggle between upholding the code or protecting his son. What a fool I was.

Considering the heartbreak I felt over season 8, I decided to wait till the entire season of New Blood was out to hear if its worth my time. Im glad I did so, as it seems like it wasnt. Thanks for the video. On a side note, most people claim to think that s04 is peak "Dexter", but personally s01 is where its at for me, and considering how much I loved it way back when, Im so sad over what became of this series in the end...

With all do respect, you are way too generous about the Logan killing. Dexter would not have done it in the first place considering that there was no way to prove him guilty beyond reasonable doubt either for Matt or the bhb killings. Even if Logan wasn't killed, assaulting an officer and escaping under those circumstances would f up his and Harrison's lives. Dexter was never an idiot.

I found this season uninspired and underwhelming. Made me wonder why they bothered returning to the series at all if this was really the best they thought they could bring to the table.

Dexter has been sloppy all season, maybe he lost a step after 10 years of "sobriety". I really wish we could have seen a Batista, Dexter confrontation.

"My viewers probably never watched the last bad 3 seasons" Me who rewatched all of Dexter in anticipation for this miniseries 😳 I feel that New Blood was decent and solid. Better than the bad seasons of Dexter. I agreed with some of your criticisms especially when Kurt wasn't fleshed out more. I feel maybe the season had too little episodes, maybe an extra 5 or less would allow us to expand. Harrison was annoying and they should have settled that plot in 3 or so episodes. Also nit pick, why is he a brunette when he was blonde as a toddler, I had dirty blonde hair as a baby but when I was a toddler my hair turned dark. Harrison should be blonde. I personally feel that killing logan was rushed. I think Dexter should have waited for Angela to come back and maybe Dexter could try to appeal to her saying he's a good guy, but fail and maybe he has an animal in the cage moment, you could even bring Brian ghost to get Dexter hyped to just go ballistic and make a run killing logan. Afterwards Dexter while trying to escape with Harrison they both try to come to terms with what he just did. I would want Harrison to catch Dexter, not kill him. As in Harrison convinces Dexter that while for the most part he has killed bad people and saved lives, his darkness also has slips. Harrison phones Angela tells her where Dexter is, Dexter gives up, have a scene where Batista actually sees Dexter and they just argue and they have an emotional moment. Then the final scene would just be Dexter being processed at Metro PD, his old coworkers going is that Dexter. Hell throw in an episode just covering the news. Dexter Morgan, Saint or Sinner, Online buzz, Dexter doesn't deserve the Death Penalty. If Dexter doesn't kill Logan, Angela could maybe try to get him life but no death penalty, but if he kills Logan he gets the death penalty. Please tell me these ideas are stupid and aren't better than professional writers.

Literally, it is so bullshit that she finds out he’s dexter and a killer. And no it’s not because I didn’t like her character, she literally couldn’t find a killer that killed her friend literally living in her own town, who was a famous well known man. Yet, because of some titanium screws, that were so weirdly placed to where no normal person would think they were a lead to dexter being the killer.

Turns out Logan was also a serial killer.

I think that Kurt should have been Dexter’s first victim. Kurt’s son, and Dexter’s reasoning for killing him, were lame. Finding out that he’d spent 10 years in the same town with another serial killer, would have been a fabulous beginning. The first two episodes could have been about killing Kurt, covering it up and dealing with Harrison. I’m not sure we’ve dodged the ‘second season’ bullet with regards to this season. I sincerely hope not but you never know.

You forgot about Olsen, just like the show writers.

You hit 10k and a new vid. todays a good day

Guys, it's only speculation but It seems to me that they originally had 12 episodes planned (and a script written for them) - as they did with almost all previous Dexter series (always 12 episodes!!!!), but at the last minute they were told there would only be 10 episodes and suddenly had to rewrite episode no.10 as quickly as possible. Maybe Dexter really should have met Batista originally. It's hard to say, but all signs point to it...

*** FUN FACT *** In the wrap up podcast. sins of the father part 2 (@32:00) they have clyde on as a guest and he actually admits that dexter killing logan was an ACCIDENT. The gun going off scared him into breaking logans neck. What a joke. Definitely read as dexter breaking his neck because it was his only choice. Kill an innocent to save himself. Rule #1 of the code. It being an accident is even worse than that.

"True crime podcasters don't talk like that" they absolutely do. That's why I stopped listening to them.

Clyde Phillips must've been rusty as well. New blood had little character development and a predictable ending.

21:04 I used to work at a fine dining restaurant. At the end of our shift, we'd all go to the bar across the street to blow off steam. One night, I had a particularly bad shift, and I was feeling irritable and inconsolable. So I put ten dollars worth of quarters into the jukebox and played Wonder Wall on repeat to spread my misery. Eventually the bartender there came across the room and unplugged it.

Also why is Angela suspecting that something bad happened to the girls if they all ran away from home.I mean they werent kidnapped or anything as far as she knows

I don't know why "ELEELEE" makes me chuckles so much

Glad to see so many people were upset with the finale. But being practical... I think MCH didn't want people bothering him anymore about Dexter and wanted to move on... that was the entire point of the whole thing. MCH's career is over though... people are POed.

Yo, sorry, but Henry AND Debb ghost always felt like Dexter's Conscience, that's why He wants to let Harrison in his life, but in his Conscience he knows he could get hurt because everybody close to Dexter dies. She even mentions "Rita, Me!" I know people look at them as ACTUAL Ghosts, But they're just ways of Dexter talking to himself without monologuing all the time

That usage of the In Bruges clip was brilliant 😂

“Past tense of ping is pong.” -Bilbo Baggins

Remember when dex got shot in the THIGH from that trucker guy working for Kurt? I guess the writers did too

14:39 Nah. Quinn had the worst subplots. Being investigated by Internal Affairs over his dead partner's meth addiction in Season 3, being suspicious of Dexter just because Dexter didn't want bribes to keep quiet about Quinn stealing money from a crime scene in Season 4, his out of nowhere relationship with Deb in 5 after they disrespectfully fucked on Dexter and Rita's bathroom floor the day after Rita's murder, the tantrum about Deb dumping him in 6, dating a Ukranian stripper in 7 and dating Jamie Batista only to dump her for Deb in 8.

This season had SO much potential, and Clancy brown is a great supporting actor. I would say it was absolutely squandered. I was left truly disappointed. It started out great though

You'd think they would go all out on a limited series to wrap up a series on the level of Dexter achieved. You would think that. But nope, barely even develop Dexter's relationship with his own son. Also weird how the season 8 and New Blood finales had cool titles only to remember they don't live up to them.

“Kurt Caldwell B Cladwell” i’m sorry a URINETOWN reference in my DEXTER MINISERIES RETROSPECTIVE??

Thanks for finishing this for me, Slip. I wasnt going to reup my Shotime sub on Prime. Shame it was a letdown but still it was at least better than the latter seasons. Good stuff as ever. My now go to TV guy

Damn dude you went in! You are a hero. I’ve watched about a dozen reviews and this one is by far my favorite. Great detail and spot the fuck on. Subbed up for more. Thanks.

Am dying at the Masuka cameo - that would have been awesome!

Idc how long he was inactive, the Dexter we spent the most time with is not the S9 Dexter. So many pointless and just wrong, plot holes. I feel like the writers just think we're stupid tbh. Fucking bs, I am livid. None of it makes sense! This was sloppy and pathetic, and totally unfair. I'm looking at this Dexter as a different entity. Cause this is not the same vigilante SK we grew up with. I just can't believe this. Literally one more episode might have been able to fix some of that mess, or just don't start a season so slow, only to rush it at the end. I won't be watching a spin off, it would mean Harrison killed him for no reason, and he'd be a bigger hypocrite than he is now. Fucking inexcusable.

Great vid, btw where would you rank this season between the others?

19:55 ish. This was never explained in the show but in a bts (it should have been explained in the show) but apparently a previous victim wrote the “you’re already dead” in lipstick (according to one of the writers) which would have made sense if you didn’t need to do your homework for it

It's funny how so many people swallowed the pill that they were making a final season because they wanted to redeem the story and not because there was still a major following of the show and high view rates on streaming websites they wanted to tap into.

Bottom line--the writers thought they were a lot smarter than they actually are. And that seems to be writers in Hollywood nowadays--not doing any research, making assumptions, and thinking their twists and turns are "super genius" when they are mediocre at best. Dexter uses the snow to backtrack so the hunter can't find him??? I've NEVER seen characters do THAT before! Harrison remembers everything that happened to him when he was 10 months old? Yes, because that's how babies work. Dexter decides to murder a drug dealer in the dealer's own home, knowing the police would be coming to arrest this guy (because Dexter has always been an idiot who never thinks out his kills). Stupid crap like this made me stop watching, and I was up to episode 8, I think. I can't believe I held on that long.

The show pretty much ends the same way as well. Killer escapes off into the night after killing a family member while the local cops agree to cover the whole sordid affair up.

YES! Masuka’s ba- oh it’s Angel.” Literally put EXACTLY how I felt into works. Or at least have both of them at the conference smh Such blue balls Angel and Dexter never even reunited I know it probably would have not been in Dexter’s favor but still

I was hoping you were going to do a review but I wasn’t sure. Great vid, don’t agree with everything but generally you’re right on the money

this season needed like, 1 or 2 extra episodes to flesh out some things. AND dexter having a confrontation with batista. like, common... why is he even there?

I think ghost Deb represented that nagging voice inside our heads that tells us we’re wrong about everything or won’t amount to anything. The manifestation of Dexter’s negative feelings and self doubt. 🤔 that was the intention I believe. The execution of it though? sloppy and felt like padding 🙆🏻‍♂️

0:33 When the finale came around the only answer I could find to that question was *Tonight’s the night* 😂😂😂😂

After I watched the finale I had a lot of mixed feelings n honestly I was really confused on how to feel about it but u affirmed a lot about how I feel now after watching it couple times. Also great video btw that peeps show cut through me back in time for a second

Omg the Fat Dexter clip caught me so off guard lmfao

"titanium doesn't melt" annoys me so much, of course it melts, it just has a very high melting point Just the way they express this, its like they think the audience are too stupid to understand this so they repeatedly express this wrong, dumbed down version of the facts

I think this ending was meant to be a rewrite to the scene where Deb catches Dexter in the crate with La Guerta. Deb is faced with the choice to kill her brother, or aid him by killing La Guerta. Dexter fullt gives her permission to kill him and end this all. He even admits La Guerta is right, and he deserves to die for what he has done. But Deb couldn’t do it, which ultimately leads to her death. Now Harrison is Deb and he finally sees who Dexter really is, and has to choice to end him, or aid him. And he does what is arguably what Deb should have done. He puts him down. He ends it.

7:00 at least it's consistent in him not caring about his son

I felt bad for Batista. I was always surprised that he never found out about Dexter to begin with, but I also never wanted him to. He always seemed to have loved Dexter so it must have been like a big betrayal to finally find out who he is.

I think you’re right. I was pretty excited to watch this whole series, but was left dissatisfied and disappointed. The first franchise I thought was better.

Your review was quite tame in comparison to my thoughts.😂

Let's be real there was no reason Harrison needed to run away after killing Dexter, he was a minor and also killed a well know seriel killer so I think people would be on his side. He could have easily lived a happy life in that town and get adopted by Angela and keep hooking up with his Step-Sister. The only reason why he needed to run is to set up a sequel.

Honestly what a waste of Clancy Brown, that guy would make a perfect sympathetic villain whose both intimidating and approachable.

Great video as always, and yeah I agree. It was dragging too much at the start, and it was too rushed at the end. So many missed opportunities, hugely contrived, but I still found it enjoyable at least, and this was easily the best shot season with Michael C Hall still being at his best. Definitely like a first draft, just felt rushed and messy. Rewrites could’ve tightened it way more, just felt lazy. At least it was better than 6 and 8 imo Edit: also thanks for the Americans spoiler warning! Currently watching it and would’ve been annoying to get it spoiled like that lol. I really appreciate it.

... isn't the biggest problem that we're expected to believe that Dexter could resist killing anyone for 10 years?

Caught the Spaceball reference. Did Dexter: New Blood go into plaid?

good job on 10k man remember me at 5 million!

The scary thing is, they had planned to make a series based around Harrison. Thankfully plans fell through. I find Harrison an agrivating little twat who has a ravenous appetite and Hoover's down food. So, we dodged a bullet there. Speaking of bullets. How come Dex got shit in the leg but showed no sign of it in the following scenes? No treatment no limp.

They should have made new theme of dexter new blood with the same old music but, new cold surrounding. Then I would have loved the whole show with whatever ending.

underrated channel well written review

only just begun the video, but I will say that the first episode really got me hooked. Was the LACK of dexters commentary in the first episode, I got so used to hearing every single thought and quip that Dexter had, knowing what he felt and thought about any and all things, but with the lack of Dexters narration left me feeling anxious and paranoid, what was he thinking? Was he mad? Does he think about the past? The viewer has ALWAYS known what dexter thinks and feels and taking that comfort away left me feeling isolated from him I was almost desperate to know what he was thinking, the viewer was always allowed into the inner circle of Dexter, putting the viewer into the shoes of the people around him, not knowing what he really is thinking or what he is keen on and making him feel like an island like in season one I think if they held off on dexters narration until mid season would have really made it a punch but that requires taking a risk and we gotta keep dexter as the ultimate cool guy who’s always right I’m also potentially thinking way too much into a very minor detail but what the fuck else am I supposed to do

Thank you for approaching this logically and not extremely emotionally like everyone else online. This was a very good and well reasoned review/analysis.

22:11 fire will eventually destroy bones. I found that out when I forgot I had pork chops on the grill. Even the bones burned to ash.

I had the same thought you had about the podcast idea where it would have been digging into the fictional psychology of the villains on Dexter. I feel like we should just make that podcast ourselves. (I’m a fiction writer and my first book of hopepunk sci-fi stories and fairytales was published in October, and I’ve published in peer reviewed journals doing critical analysis of things like Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead [comic book] and others). So lemme know!

I hated the fact, that Harrison is basically a self-righteous self-spoiled brat, that is completely oblivious to things he has caused INTENTIONALLY but dares to judge people for bad things they have done unintentionally. Basically it's like as if Debra's ghost invaded Harrison's body to speak on his behalf. There was no moral high ground with Harrison. Also, if he thought what he needs is actually to reject the codex and strive to be normal, killing his first human ever (his dad on top of it, the only person that truly understood him) makes it just laughable - "dad, you kill murderers you saved probably like thousands of lives (the previous episode)" / "Dexter you kill people and because of that innocent people die, I don't want to be like you and thus I have to kill you" wtf.

another slam dunk

I won't be binge watching this series now, time to cancel showtime once again!!

lmao the security breach daycare song took me so fucking off gaurd at the end there
