Hall’s forensic-specialist-who-only-kills-other-killers against John Lithgow’s disturbing, Emmy-winning villain. The show peaked in its fourth season, which pit Michael C. Over the course of eight seasons, Dexter went from popular, albeit somewhat kooky, prestige drama status to delivering perhaps the most bemusing, widely derided and mocked series finale in recent television history (until Game of Thrones unseated it). Instead of a reboot to squeeze more blood from a popular stone, the pitch is reboot-as-mulligan, a bid to lure audiences back by offering an opportunity to fix what went wrong. With Dexter: New Blood, the streaming era’s eternal pursuit of More Content has reached a peculiar but inevitable point at which even intellectual property without a passionate fan base rooting for it is being revived. The new ten-episode limited series, which begins airing on Showtime Sunday Nov 7, is by contrast cold, trading Florida for a fictional hamlet in upstate New York and pastel moods for a protagonist who’s lost his playful spark amid a cast of world-weary small-town characters.

The Showtime Dexter, which aired from 2006 to 2013, was set in vibrant, sun-soaked Miami and took us into the mind of a serial killer who was often humorous, wry and even happy-go-lucky, a mood that was buoyed by a bevy of comic-relief supporting characters and murders that were often played for dark laughs. The first thing you notice about Dexter: New Blood, is the way it bears absolutely no resemblance, tonally, structurally, even atmospherically, to the original series it’s based on.
