‘Dexter: Resurrection’ Should’ve Let the Dead Rest: TV Review


The third spinoff of the Showtime series brings the character back from the dead, but should've let him rest.

But three years later, “Original Sin” arrived, a redundant prequel that also undid the marginal contributions of “New Blood” by revealing Dexter survived, then framing its events as a mid-surgery flashback. There are doubles everywhere you look in “Resurrection”: the premiere includes a speed-run version of the near-deathbed hallucinations that form the entirety of “Original Sin,” while Dexter makes repeated jokes about how strange it is to be the one on the operating, or acupuncture, table for once. Peter Dinklage, chewing scenery like it’s gum, plays a venture capitalist whose wealth turns him into a true-crime fan on steroids, identifying serial killers and collecting them like objects.
