If you feel the core of why Dexter was so uniquely interesting is Hall's portrayal of Dexter then you should proceed. Certainly the original series had an impeccable supporting cast, but it all was on Dexter as a perfect combination of a one-of-a-kind serial killer driven by an obsessive code. To once more have that same Dexter is the thing here. Dexter always has had complications. Being part of Miami PD of course helped and threatened. But, he had a bigger complication with sister Deb who he had to protect and separate from his walk with "the dark passenger". When that ended badly and he miraculously survived New Blood thrust him into new territory as he soon realized his son was the apple that didn't fall far from the tree. We don't want, or expect, normalcy from Dexter. So, once more Dexter has cheated death. During recovery Dexter realizes both his Miami past, courtesy of a visit from Batista, and his son's s life in NYC, hinted at by a familiar dismembered corpse last seen alive where his son is employed demands action. Fleeing to NYC opens up a whole new chapter complete with old and new complications. Michael C. Hall's Dexter character is reloaded facing more of the impossible. This seems totally right because it's just where the character shines. This may just be the worthy continuation New Blood just couldn't reach. I was long ago in for a penny and this just feels like the pound that Dexter is destined to deliver.
