My hope here is that since she hates serial killers and Dexter kills them, she may help him find more like she did for Prater.

wrathmont Apr 8, 2026 +22

There was some speculation at the time that Prater was going to become an ally and serve that purpose for Dexter. That would have been cool.

22

prazulsaltaret Apr 8, 2026 +1

I really thought Prater knew all along and was the reason Dexter was let go for killing that cop so easily

Bear16 Apr 8, 2026 +25

If she acts more like the handler behind the scenes I’d be good with that. Like a Diana from Hitman games or the girl from The Accountant movie.

Good job Dex47 , now head towards an exit.

I don't want a single romance for Dexter in resurrection.

m_Pony Apr 9, 2026 +2

maybe give him a whiff of it just to tempt him and frighten the audience, then pull it away

I actually loved the subversion this past season with that involving Krysten Ritter

geodebug Apr 8, 2026 +2

Could be cool if she wasn’t the season’s villain but for some reason they had to reluctantly work together against a bigger foe.

2

RealJohnGillman Apr 8, 2026 +7

All of the serial killers on Prater’s guest list would have known about Charlie too, so one could easily justify Charlie helping Dexter take out everyone on that list.

Kaldricus Apr 8, 2026 +1

Would just be Rapunzel at this point, right?

1

RealJohnGillman Apr 8, 2026 +6

It would not be, no. It was said over the season that the killers present were but a small number out of all of the serial killers Prater had on his list: those were just those most-willing to regularly gather. That was why Dexter had himself a list of many more than just Rapunzel at the end of the season.

Astrocomet25 Apr 8, 2026 +2

I want all of those except the "develop feelings for"

JamStan1978 Apr 8, 2026 +3

Clyde is still the showrunner so this is unlikely to happen.

MuptonBossman Apr 8, 2026 +180

I'm totally down for the Uma Thurman renaissance, even if her character in Season 1 felt a little bit boring.

JamStan1978 Apr 8, 2026 +114

Episode 9 of resurrection (one of the best dexter episodes EVER) really showed her acting chops off when she was in the car with dexter.

114

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 -27

Honest question. I'm not up to date. Hated the end of Dexter. His sister only tried to f*** him because the actor was divorced from the actress who plays his sister? Because the books did not mention that part. Watched a couple episodes of the spinoff with his son? If this is how I feel? What is new? Avoid? Worth it? Cuz up until the trinity killer, best show.

Off the top of my head: Dexter is possessed by an ancient deity Doakes comes back as a cyborg Lmao

10

Usual-Caregiver5589 Apr 8, 2026 -2

I read the books and I feel like Show Dexter makes a lot dumber moves than Book Dexter. The entire season 2 plot where he throws Doakes off his trail by claiming to be in NA was just awful.

-2

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 -4

Btw I felt their real life relationship is why the plot went all wonky .

BalonSwann07 Apr 8, 2026 +12

Hated the end of Dexter. Hated the show with his son. Loved Resurrection. So fun and in the spirit of the original good seasons of Dexter

12

Sweet_Buy_4908 Apr 8, 2026 +2

Exactly!

2

theporcupineking Apr 8, 2026 +2

I thought the show with the son was fairly good but had an ending worse than the original. I was genuinely pissed at it. Like how can you f*** on the endings twice!?

2

ArokLazarus Apr 8, 2026 +3

I'm excited for them to f*** up the ending to Resurrection. How many shows get the opportunity to hat trick their endings?

3

Dead_man_posting Apr 9, 2026 +1

I think they had more seasons planned but Hall bailed, so they had to hastily throw together an ending.

1

Locutus747 Apr 9, 2026 +1

Luckily he changed his mind so it's sort of like a "season finale" now. I watched the show with his son after Resurrection was already announced so I thought the ending was alright.

1

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 -4

But. What do the wife and I need to know. Does the son stuff a must watch? YouTube summary? aI summary?

-4

BalonSwann07 Apr 8, 2026 +6

I would just watch resurrection. It will tell you what you need to know.

6

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 +1

Thx. . I liked Dexter so much that I put season 1 and 2 two on a thumb drive and plugged it into a dvd player so the Air Force flight line could watch it. They never got to season 3. Got banned after people refused to leave to work.

1

Dead_man_posting Apr 9, 2026 +1

I disagree with the other guy. New Blood is required to know the new relationship between Dexter and Harrison. It's not *terrible* aside from the ending, and the ending isn't a big deal now.

1

vault101damner Apr 8, 2026 +4

I stopped watching around season 6. Now I've watched Young Blood and Resurrection. Both are worth watching. Young Blood is decent and Resurrection is pretty great.

4

MyGoodOldFriend Apr 8, 2026 +1

New Blood is hit or miss, I enjoyed it though. Resurrection is very good.

1

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 +1

I missed the spin off of the spin off. Do I have to watch new blood?

1

CandidInsurance7415 Apr 8, 2026 +1

It sets up an important relationship in resurrection.

1

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 +1

C*** 😞 I'll wait till the new series ends. 😂 To see. If it can write an ending.. I suffered through Lost. If I have free time I really want to watch the Pitt more. Loved ER.

1

vault101damner Apr 8, 2026 +1

Well S1 of resurrection wraps up pretty nicely even if they shit the bed in the next season. Worth watching. Especially for the original series fans.

1

Khalku Apr 8, 2026 +1

I dropped dexter a long time ago too, but resurrection was good and needed like no background to get into.

1

PrestigiousConcert87 Apr 8, 2026 +1

Resurrection is worth it definitely, but it does feel like a completely different show. The plot holes are huge and you really have to recalibrate because it’s extremely ridiculous. But super fun.

1

GaryTheCabalGuy Apr 8, 2026 +12

I think it's just that she is a big name actor that was in a smaller role. If the role was played by anyone else people wouldn't care, they just expected more because it's Uma Thurman. The reality is that she must have just really wanted to be part of the Dexter universe, even in a smaller role. Hopefully in S2 they give her more to do.

12

BalonSwann07 Apr 8, 2026 +10

She's in every episode and is a major focus lmao. Like it's not a small role. It's like the fourth most important character in the season.

10

prazulsaltaret Apr 8, 2026 +3

> even if her character in Season 1 felt a little bit boring. I was like 99% convinced her mother was the New York Ripper and that's why she was so disgusted by killers. Couldn't bring herself to abandon her sick mother despite her being a killer so she took out her frustrations on killing Prater's fuckups.

3

m_Pony Apr 9, 2026 +2

I think she's pretty great in the role, holds back just enough to make you want more. They didn't do quite enough with her role, tbh. Character's got untapped complexity. Could be even better next season.

2

abyssalkast Apr 8, 2026 +1

She was holding back

Creative_Visit122 Apr 8, 2026 +1

⚔️ maybe? 🤔

suitcasecalling Apr 8, 2026 -25

Honestly she was the worst part of this reboot season for me. Utterly boring and not good acting.. super rigid

-25

thrilling_me_softly Apr 8, 2026 +3

I blame the writing, that’s obviously how they wrote her character.

3

JamStan1978 Apr 8, 2026 +5

It wasnt originally written for Uma. I believe it was written as just a throwaway character (or someone not that important) but when Uma joined they added stuff to her character and now are bringing her back.

5

thrilling_me_softly Apr 8, 2026 +2

Ah, I did not know that. That makes sense.

2

LavishnessMission584 Apr 8, 2026 -2

Her character felt like a cross over from the emoji movie 😠

-2

ShutupGustov Apr 8, 2026 +10

While I'm a fan of Uma Thurman, the character was dull and her story felt closed by the end of the season. The scenes with her mother were some of the more boring aspects of Resurrection. They wouldn't be bringing this character back if she was played by a lesser known actor.

10

gendabenda Apr 8, 2026 +42

Felt under-utilized in the role, hopefully more meat on the bones this time..

42

mtwwtm Apr 8, 2026 +5

Yes, and I was sort of hoping she would have been a bit more repentant and would have helped him without having to be threatened like that.

5

Demerzel69 Apr 8, 2026 +3

Totally wasted as just a henchwoman but hopefully they give her stuff to do this time.

3

JamStan1978 Apr 8, 2026 +13

The character was created for someone else but when they actually got Uma they added new stuff for her to do but they couldnt change the entire character bc it would mess with the story. Maybe they can fully realize her here.

13

Lil_Mcgee Apr 8, 2026 +5

I think "just a henchwoman" undersells it a bit. She's definitely a layered character and, while it's not the showiest role, it required a quiet sort of intensity that I don't know if a lesser actor could have pulled off. I'm glad she's coming back and agree with the hope that she gets to be a more proactive player in the story but I definitely didn't feel like she was wasted.

5

Demerzel69 Apr 8, 2026 +2

She's Uma f****** Thurman. She was incredibly wasted talent on that season.

2

Lil_Mcgee Apr 8, 2026 +3

Like I say, I think the role required a lot more talent than most of these comments are giving it credit for. I found both the character and performance to be very memorable and worthy of her, it was just understated. Her physicality was excellent, she's constantly conveying a great mix of professionalism, menace, and disgust. She was a perfect foil for Leon.

3

ohthanqkevin Apr 8, 2026 +1

I honestly had to think for a few moments who she was in the show. Weird they for Uma for such a small role but bringing her back probably means they have more for her to do

1

swanny246 Apr 8, 2026 +2

I think much like Sarah Michelle Gellar in Original Sin, they had longer term plans for the character, assuming the actor was able to stick around.

2

ohthanqkevin Apr 8, 2026 +2

Still haven’t seen Original Sin. Is it worth it even though it got canceled?

2

swanny246 Apr 8, 2026 +2

Yeah I reckon so! The cast was great in the end, they pulled off some amazing younger versions of the OG cast (exception probably being Christian Slater who was... a choice). It's all mostly a self contained story in typical Dexter fashion, couple of seed plants for what could have been a season 2 but not a huge deal in the long run.

2

m_Pony Apr 9, 2026 +1

I liked it, and I even didn't mind the ending. They were able to dial in that creepy vibe from earlier Dexter seasons. and Clancy Brown is so very good in it.

1

jnighy Apr 8, 2026 +6

Good. She really felt underused in S1. Her character needs more space to grow

6

Bear16 Apr 8, 2026 +17

I kinda liked how Resurrection some what wrapped up things and had him appearing to move on. Now he has files on other serial killers he could go hunt and give us almost self contained seasons in a way to keep giving us the Dexter we want to see. I don’t need a Dexter universe again with multiple recurring characters , I just want to see him stalk, hunt and kill. Thanks

17

JamStan1978 Apr 8, 2026 +12

Resurrection worked well enough to be an ending if it wasnt renewed but left many things open for when it got renewed. Charley was an intentional loose end so she could come back in an organic way.

12

Bear16 Apr 8, 2026 +1

Oh I agree but just didn’t find her compelling enough to want more of her. He kinda found her weak spot, set things straight and now can go to the next weirdo IMO.

1

RealJohnGillman Apr 8, 2026 +7

I suppose that makes sense: since Dexter killed Prater, it would mean Charlie’s mother wouldn’t be receiving her medical treatment payments anymore and would likely die, for which Charlie would blame Dexter. That or the two end up connecting, since Charlie would have also hated serial killers and killed many on Prater’s orders (though for very different reasons).

7

Saint_Blaise Apr 8, 2026 +2

I feel like she would be more realistic about it. You can't expect a victory when you make a deal with the devil.

2

Omatzus Apr 8, 2026

How is "hating serial killers" a personality trait? Who doesn't?

0

RealJohnGillman Apr 8, 2026 +5

Most people who hate serial killers wouldn’t have been in a situation where they had to see them on the regular and not be allowed to do anything about them, as a character like Charlie would have been.

Hermiona1 Apr 8, 2026 +2

Interesting as it looked like her story was closed. Maybe they will work together? Just please don't turn it into a situation where he has to kill her. But a ending where they go separate ways at the end would be kind of... boring? And that's how last season ended. I'll let them cook.

2

Locke66 Apr 8, 2026 +1

I mean it's pretty clear they are setting up a New York Ripper storyline for S2 and Uma's character is one of the only ones to have ever met him.

She was so good in Season 1! This show is a rare case of a renewal of an original series that is as good as its predecessor. Near perfect Season 1. I hope Eric Stonestreet is back too!!

RealJohnGillman Apr 8, 2026 +1

I am curious as to whether they may have the ultimate end of Dexter’s story parallel that of the ‘real-life Dexter’ [Pedro Rodrigues Filho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Rodrigues_Filho) now that the real fellow is dead: where he ended up embraced by a good portion of the public, and avoided lifetime imprisonment due to a technicality. A good example of ‘truth is stranger than fiction’.

JamStan1978 Apr 8, 2026 +8

we can only hope.

I’m 100% ready for *Dexter: Golden Years*, which takes place at a retirement home where Dexter discovers that a worker there has been systematically killing the elderly.

fandry96 Apr 8, 2026 -4

Oh I remember the dark passenger and his step son. After a decade from reading it. But I felt the show was a great twist up until Deb. It was just bad writing. I saw the show and then read the books first couple books. My issue was more with the TV show.
