Dexter: Resurrection Season 2 Premiere Review
Review: Dexter, tired of schlepping around a-holes for 5-star ratings, decides to shake things up on the serial killer side of things in the Resurrection Season 2 premiere.
Dexter: Resurrection Season 2's premiere, titled "Risky Business," premiered on Paramount+ with the Premium Plan on October 30. The episode revolves around Dexter (Michael C. Hall), who is feeling underappreciated for his life-saving endeavors and may be seeking recognition. The show introduces an anxious protagonist and new villains for Dexter to contend with.
The episode sets the stage for the upcoming season and provides just a glimpse of what's to come. Dexter's self-reflection and unease in this season are portrayed differently than his previous ones, and if handled differently, Season 2 could be an interesting take on the character.
Resurrection Season 2 builds upon the original show's groundbreaking success but struggled in seasons 5-8. However, Resurrection felt most like the early seasons of the first show, and Dexter's flaws and mad desire to kill still make for an enticing watch. In "Risky Business," Dexter realizes he's a big deal and that he can't be a ride-share driver forever or let James Doakes (Erik King) go down as the Butcher.
The episode features new villains like the New York Ripper (played by Brian Cox) and the Five Borough Killer (Dan Stevens), making for a thrilling start to the new season.
