Dexter has such a specific and unique feel to it, and while the atmosphere of this series is different, they've really captured the essence of the show. Lots of really good moments with Harrison, Dexter, and Angela, and I love Deb's role in here. Plenty of great tension with Dexter as we see him desperately trying to cover his tracks. This whole situation is just so messy and I can't wait to see how it all plays out.

Already great episode showing the normal Dexter routine of having to cover up things with some good twists. I wasn't sure about Harrison, but with what was revealed it could be a good twist seeing how he deals with him. Harrison is growing on me now. Can't wait to see what's next.

The plot is getting more interesting after Dex's first murder after all these years.. The arrival of his mysterious son is a good addition. However, the return of Jennifer Carpenter as Deborah is rather annoying, and I hope she shuts up after this.. I can understand she is like the second voice in Dex" head, but why does she have to be annoying..

As a teenager myself I always find characters like Harrison just completely unbearable.

Overall I think "Dexter: New Blood" is just a bit overrated and so far it's been pretty boring :/

Love the story and love there is a 2nd story with another Serial killer building up.

I have some theories on what will happen but won't put them on here :)

I liked this episode. I think it was a nice way to open back up after the events that took place in the premiere. The classic Dexter type tension is there along with a few new elements mixed in.

For one, I think Harrison is growing on me. It came as a shock to find out Hannah died. Though I was never a big fan of her character, so it didn't bother me as much on an emotional level. But in terms of the story, it was a surprise reveal. To both Dexter and the audience. The actor also did a fine job, though there were scenes where it felt like he was phoning it in just a bit. Maybe he gets it from Dexter, though, who knows.

Dexter himself, or Jim, is as good as he's ever been. His constant back and forth with Deb is very entertaining but also very interesting. Their whole mind battle is a new take compared to the relationship Harry and Dexter had in the original show, due to Deb's wildly different personality. Jennifer Carpenter is killing it, her chemistry with Michael C. Hall is spot on. Michael C. Hall is also great, portraying a clearly out of practice Dexter who's desperately trying to cover up his tracks. I do like the fact that they don't have him convert back into his old self just yet. He's obviously going to be more clumsy in his craft, since he's gone about 10 years without killing anyone. And judging by the end of the episode, things are most likely to get harder for him.

I also like how we're getting to see a bit more of who the side characters are. Angela in particular got some really good moments in this episode, especially towards the end with her daughter, Aubrey. I'm enjoying her character so far and I'm excited to see where her and Dexter's relationship goes in this season.

I'm also intrigued by the mystery being built up behind who's watching Emily (I think her names Emily) and holding her captive. That one still has me scratching my head. However; I'm confident that Kurt Caldwell has something to do with it.

Speaking of Kurt Caldwell, Clancy Brown makes his first appearance as the character at the end of the episode. He seems to be a well intentioned guy, just trying to look for his son. I can't help but notice, though, is that there seems to be something off about him. It's barely noticeable, but once you catch on, there's no looking away from it. The way his tone is; he just sounds too optimistic and too determined. Maybe he's hiding something? That's how it seems to me anyways.

Overall, an engaging second episode that sets the seeds for at least the next 2 episode. While providing some interesting character work and story progression.

Rating: 8.5/10.

It was a good episode Harrison is good addition for series dexter still jim. What i say great episode frome great series.i think everyone should see dexter series.tnak you.

So the whole town and the police (with a helicopter) are out there searching for a missing person in the woods, but no one has the common sense of bringing a search dog, just one dog and Dexter goes behind the bars for good, they even brought a drone at first, even Dexter who is supposed to be an evil genius thought that burying the guy in his yard keeps him away from getting caught.. it just doesn't make any sense.. maybe they'll listen to me and bring dogs the next episode, but Dexter will dispose of the body in time (maybe in that fishing hole in the ice). Mehh, but overall it's not a bad episode.
