Dexter: Resurrection Puts Viewers Into The Minds Of Multiple Serial Killers
Dexter & His Son Are Both Vigilante Killers In New York City
The originalDexterseries did a fantastic and immersive job of portraying the dark perspective ofDexter Morgan’s serial killer identity, hidden beneath his friendly and normal persona. A handful of exceptional serial killer foes, such as John Lithgow’s Arthur Mitchell, better known as the Trinity Killer, also emerged throughoutDexter’seight seasons.
Dexter: Resurrection, however, follows multiple serial killers at once, breaking new ground for the franchise. Previously, Dexter was always the main character, justified by his vigilante code to only kill other serial killers. InResurrection, we now havehis son, Harrison Morgan, who is developing into a budding killer himself, following in his father’s blood-soaked footsteps.
