Spoiler alert: This story contains spoilers for “and justice for all …”, the final of season 1 of “dexter: resurrection”, now broadcasting on Paramount +.
Long -standing fans of “Dexter” should be satisfied with the final of season 1 of “Resurrection”, after having missed the brand with the end of the original series (and with the recent “New Blood”) – but this season -round has crowned the return of the franchise. With a finish that included thumb imprints, hallucinations in vaults and more father-son anxiety than a Shakespearean tragedy, it was strong enough to justify more dexter adventures in Manhattan.
Leave him to Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) to be trapped in a room in the Museum of the Millionaire Sociopath for serial killers, alongside his former colleague and friend now dead Angel Batista (David Zayas) lying on the ground. Quintessential hallucinatory conversations take place, as always, with Dexter’s dead father, Harry (James Note, who later delivers a funny line “Fucking Kill” later in the episode), who reminds him of his code, and a surprise cameo by Brian Moser – The Ice Truck Killer (Christian Camargo), Aka Dexter’s Older he killed in season 1.

In the episode, Leon Prater by Peter Dinklage will finally go Bond’s villain. With a mansion filled with files, cameras and an army of servers, Prater is not only revealed as a collector of killers, but also an impatient applicant of the Dexter School of Dark Passengers after committing his first murder by murdering Batista. Prater’s plan and his ingenious acolyte Charley (Uma Thurman) is to leave Dexter in the safe for three days without food and water until his death. Of course, he organizes a gala to raise funds for local police just below.
One thing on which Prater and Charley did not count was that Batista always had his mobile phone on him, who begins to ring with a call from his former partner Joey Quinn (Desmond Harrington), who leaves a vocal messaging by saying that he was worried about him after the NYPD called and learned that Batista was removed and no longer copy, and who has always pursued the case Harbor. Quinn has no idea that Batista is dead, but it will surely be a factor next season.

So, with a mobile phone in hand, Dexter calls his son, Harrison (Jack Alcott), who is currently in the midst of intimate relationships with his girlfriend Gigi. Harrison goes to the gala, where he was hired to work, but refused after meeting Prater there are two episodes ago. While Dad has been trying to give Harrison instructions since a safe, with the camera on FaceTime, Harrison is busy using servers and safe codes to sail in the mansion. Their whispered phone label has become Power Play – Dexter wanting it to run, Harrison Double – is fun (but also frustrating), and the final (mainly) Ciments Harrison as a worthy strategic partner.
Harrison arrives in the safe area and must enter an eight-digit code that you only get a chance before the alarms are triggered and the police appear. Fortunately, Dexter is in the room with a workbook containing a treasure of documents on each serial killer in the world, including those that Dexter has killed this season. A file is on Prater himself, who has the index that Dexter thinks who will unlock the door.
Then Harrison, with facetime on, enters action. Meanwhile, Charley spent the whole season in chic jackets and moral moral sands, and once she met Harrison and seems to be about to kill him, dexter strap Bait, saying that his Prater shoots the strings, because he also has a file on her. Dexter threatens to send him, and her counter-offer is that he does not send him, she will not kill Harrison, but Dexter must always stay in there and die. She goes out to deal with Prater.

The final conversations of Charley – with Dexter, then Prater – are loaded with possible teasing for more of her in future seasons (perhaps?). She escapes with her sick mother and tells him that they return “home”, wherever it is.
From the safe, Batista’s mobile phone is dying (thank you Apple!), And after Dexter changes his mind on the figures that Harrison should enter, he dies. But don’t worry, the door opens and both are gathered. The father escapes – to sneak through the service corridors and improvise the brass of NYPD under the nose – which was pure “dexter” and in a way hilarious during the technology everywhere.
Dexter decides to collect all the files on him and other killers to take away with him. He tells Harrison to leave, but Prater sees him, a few moments after Charley gets up and leaves. Prater goes to the head of security, tells him to deactivate all the cameras of the manor and attacks Harrison. He recalls Dexter upstairs and has a pistol at the head of Harrison. After pleading to PRATER to kill him in place, which he refuses, we discover the “protection” that Dexter slipped his son there are two episodes, which led us to believe that it was a condom for his shenanigans with his girlfriend, was one of his signature needles to put his prey to sleep. Harrison stays with that, and he goes down.

Dexter sets up a killing room in the safe and delivers a closing narration equally with season 4 when he killed the Trinity Killer (John Lithgow), who reframed the Arc de Dexter. A very sustainable pinenichard patent is killed by one of the knives of the room. Dexter cleans (so quickly, to the fact that my wife was impressed), triggers the alarm and takes place in the night with the bloody thumb of Prater so that he can get out of the room, and in his boat to throw his body just in front of the statue of freedom (there are cameras there, right?). He leaves Batista in there so that the cops find, and the pistol with the prints of Prater on it. They think he did it, what he did, but also, no one will check Angel’s telephone newspapers and see that he called Harrison Morgan after his death? Maybe it is the index for its bow next season. Is everyone from the Miami metro about to come to New York one at a time and end up dying because of Dexter? Do not forget: Eric StoneStreet’s ponytail killer is still there after bailing out the intermission of “Hamilton”.
In a very appropriate internal monologue while he gets rid of the chopped body of Prater, Dexter gives the series to the point. Once resigned to isolation, he now admits that he needs Harrison – not only as a son, but as a confidant. “I’m exactly who I have to be. Exactly who you want me to be, ”he said to the public in voiceover.
But let’s move on to the disappointing part. For weeks, the New York Ripper case hides on the outskirts of the series – a Boogeyman that the show kept by referring was someone in Dexter’s life. We learned that the killer’s weapon of choice was a tool similar to a doe foot, that his madness ended eight years ago and that he is now shooting families with cruel phone calls at the end of the evening. One of his murder weapons was revealed among the grotesque collection of Prater. In the final, the mystery became tangible when Dexter discovered a file in the tribute room of Prater to serial killers. Above: a name. Are you ready? Don Framt.
WHO? Exactly.
The revelation has left more questions than answers. Has PRATER manipulate evidence? Is Framt a person, a red herring or someone we have already encountered under another name? For the moment, Dexter has left the ripper file as a gift to the detective Claudette Wallace (Kadia Saraf), the cop “Stayin” aving “whose instinct can be vital in the future of history. It is less fence for the season, than a break in season 2.
