Spoilers forward for Dexter: Ressurection.
The Dexter franchise has been going robust for practically 20 years now, with the flagship collection as probably the greatest Showtime reveals of all time. It lately acquired two new spinoffs (accessible to stream with a premium Paramount+ subscription), the latest being Resurrection. I actually appreciated the present total, however I want that the finale was much less of a cliffhanger to arrange a possible Season 2.
Dexter: Resurrection‘s Season 1 finale supplied an exhilarating conclusion to the story, choosing up after the dying of Angel Bautista. Whereas we acquired to see the battle with Peter Dinklage’s Leon Prater come to a head, there have been unanswered questions and teases for a second season that made the ultimate total much less impactful than it may have been. A minimum of, for my part.
Dexter: Resurrections Received Bogged Down Setting Up Season 2
After Prater shot and killed Bautista, it grew to become clear who the true villain of Dexter: Resurrection was. The billionaire tried to lock Michael C. Corridor’s antihero in his vault to die, however Dexter and Harrison ultimately acquired the higher of him. It was superior seeing Dinklage’s villain on the kill desk, in addition to seeing the title character dump his stays within the Hudson with the Statue of Liberty within the background. Sadly, we acquired a bunch of unanswered questions, in addition to a bunch of time teasing what may come if/when the present is renewed for Season 2.
There are some main free ends to this story. I’ve to surprise if Bautista’s homicide will set off questions from Desmond Harrington’s Joey Quinn, who was one among many shock cameos from the season. Whereas he was apprehensive about Angel’s habits, the truth that he was mysteriously murdered after looking down Dexter needs to be a purple flag, no?
Then there’s the ending for Uma Thurmans’ Charley. Whereas she moved her mom out of New York, she’s a free finish linked to Dexter, Harrison and (in fact) Prater. The overwhelming majority of the forged of Resurrections was killed off all through the primary season, so the dearth of closure for Charley is one other query surrounding the finale.
I even have lingering questions on Harrison and Dexter’s relationship. Whereas they’ve clearly taken huge steps ahead after the finale of New Blood, I nonetheless do not precisely know the place they stand. Michael C. Corridor’s character has admitted that his son helps give him some much-needed humanity.
No doubt the most important cliffhanger within the Resurrection finale was Dexter leaving with Prater’s information about energetic serial killers. He’ll seemingly be occurring the street to hunt extra murderers if/when the spinoff returns to Showtime for a second season. That is an thrilling idea, however I would somewhat the present advised a extra contained story as a substitute of establishing a second season which may not ever occur.
Maybe I am significantly delicate, however Dexter‘s authentic collection finale is an excellent controversial one which followers are nonetheless sore over. And because the prequel Unique Sin is cancelled, I would hate for the ultimate episode of the complete franchise to be a cliffhanger for tales we by no means see. Fingers crossed Resurrection will get renewed quickly.
The whole Dexter franchise is streaming now with Paramount+ with Showtime. Unique Sin and Resurrections arrived in fast succession, so we’ll should see if we get extra from everybody’s favourite serial killer.
