It seems as if Dexter Morgan just cannot die. Remember the first Dexter finale 12 years ago? It climaxed with Morgan sailing his boat into an unsurvivable storm, a sure sign that our favourite serial-killing blood spatter analyst had finally met his end. But then the show lost its nerve and he somehow ended up in a postscript with a new job (lumberjack) and a new beard (unconvincing).
Next came 2021’s Dexter: New Blood, a series that was conceived as a definitive full stop for the character. That run ended with – spoiler alert – Dexter being shot dead by his son Harrison. However, now Morgan finds himself back yet again in Dexter: Resurrection, in which we quickly learn that this apparently fatal injury was merely a flesh wound.
