Brian Cox Cast in ‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Season 2 as the New York Ripper

Boar on the floor for Dexter works dramaturgically. I mean in way Succession and Dexter are comedies, like famous Chekhov comedies. >!Jeremy Strong's mode off!<

Definitely my favourite X-Men film.

Oohwowowoooooohhhh

It sounds like they just thought a K would look cooler https://www.listnook.com/r/Hannibal/s/Yw93fKvipt

GIMME THE GOD DAMN SOAP

Wait until you see him in Pixels

It’s amazing how he was responsible for all the great original seasons, left and it went largely to shit, returned and it *instantly* became awesome again. 

Clyde is a major reason why its actually good again, but I don't think we should give him all of the credit. The way this worked was.. Showtime convinced Michael C Hall to return. Michael agreed but he had a hard out written into his contract. Basically they had a specific date where he was just done regardless of what the production needed. Showtime agreed to this on the condition that he do voice overs on their prequel. This is why New Blood started so well and then it ended so f****** strangely and fast. It also featured the death of the main character. Then showtime started working on Original Sin, which was the prequel to the original series set back in Miami. Michael came on board after production was over to do the voice over stuff and during that few days of recording voiceover he remembered his old friends and how much fun he had back in Miami when the show was originally on the air. He got super f****** nostalgic. So after a few days of feeling those feelings and recording these voice overs he contacted showtime and said "I may not be done with Dexter afterall". When he said this showtime got visibly aroused. It was actually on the news, google it. So they came up with this idea that Dexter was dying in the hospital, in a coma reliving his past.. which ended up being part of Original Sin. Then when they started developing what would end up being "Dexter Resurrection" they had some clear notes from Showtime and its fans having seen both versions of Dexter Lite. Basically the fans wanted the blood back, because New Blood was practically PG-13 and Showtime wanted to give this resurrection of their best character some more attention. So they basically killed Original Sin and used the money that they would have paid for Season 2 of that show and roped it into Resurrection. From the first five minutes of that show you can see how much they expanded their budget. Roughly 60% of the show was shot on the streets of New York for crying out loud. Pretty much every character was an expensive famous actor. There were so many different interiors, extras, side characters... they brought f****** two major characters back and a slew of the dead ones. They threw money at this thing all because Michael C Hall gave them a massive money boner.

Yep. And there was the even more goofy theory that he was Trinity’s son Jonah.

Honestly having just finished that season, I wouldn't blame them. He served absolutely no purpose but was in most/all episodes, so people were probably just like "hmmm why is he here?"

I really liked that new detective. I hope/think she’ll slowly become a great foil to him. I could see her being part of the endgame that takes Dexter down, assuming he eventually does go down.

I think that's how everyone felt initially but it's genuinely one of my favourite seasons of Dexter, probably behind season 1 and 4 Without spoiling, it leans into all the good things from the original run of Dexter, without going fully in the direction of New Blood (which I will standby is not as bad as the Internet makes it seem)

The resurrection is not even the far fetched bit, it was when he escaped from the jail cell and got away with it.

I was sceptical about the reboot, I avoided watching New Blood since it came out. And then everyone and their mother hyped Ressurections and they were not wrong. It's a fantastic season with a really good ending and I thought New Blood was already really good. Just don't apply too much logic to the ending of it, they wanted the show to continue and it was worth it.

I understand but its really good, the season is amazing. Yes, he "ressurects" (there is some what an explanation), but the season is one of the best ever on Dexter, it really holds up. And the cast is STACKED (Peter Dinklage, Kristen Ritter, Uma Thurman, Eric Stonestreet...).

It’s actually fantastic. I loved it.

Same! I actually was very shocked they could afford Peter and Uma Thurman all those episodes, I can’t even imagine their salaries
