How Many Episodes Will There Be Of Dexter New Blood

Okay, let's talk about Dexter: New Blood. Specifically, how many episodes there ARE. Not how many there should be. Big difference!

Because let's be honest, we all have opinions on that.

The Cold, Hard Truth (and Numbers)

Here's the deal. Dexter: New Blood has exactly, undeniably, irrefutably... 10 episodes.

Yep. Ten. That's it. The end. Case closed. Or is it?

My Unpopular Opinion (Brace Yourselves!)

Now, here's where things get spicy. Remember the original Dexter? Seasons and seasons of thrilling darkness.

Ten episodes felt... short. Rushed. Like Dexter was on a diet. A really restrictive, "no killing" diet, almost.

And while the ending stirred up feelings... strong feelings... I think it needed more time. More development. More... Dexter-ness?

I'm not saying it was bad. Just... could've been better.

Why Only Ten? The Mystery Deepens!

So, why just ten episodes? Well, the folks at Showtime decided that's what they wanted. Probably something to do with budget or schedules. Or maybe they just liked the number ten. Who knows?

But seriously, maybe they felt like they told the story they wanted to tell. Concluded Dexter's journey (again).

However, I feel 10 episodes wasn't enough to cover all bases. Was Harrison truly explored fully?

Could There Have Been More? (The Eternal Question)

Could they have squeezed more story into those ten episodes? Absolutely!

Imagine a slower burn. More time with Kurt Caldwell. Deeper dives into Harrison's darkness. Maybe even a flashback or two of Dexter's Miami days!

Instead, we got a relatively streamlined narrative. Efficient, sure. But a little... hollow?

The Aftermath: What Ten Episodes Gave Us

Okay, okay, I'm being a bit harsh. Ten episodes did give us some awesome moments. That showdown in the school? Amazing!

And Michael C. Hall? Still brilliant as Dexter. He slipped back into that dark passenger like it was his favorite, slightly bloodstained, coat.

But those moments felt... fleeting. Like delicious appetizers before a very small main course.

So, The Final Verdict? (Prepare For More Controversy!)

Ten episodes of Dexter: New Blood is what we got. And while I enjoyed it, I can't help but feel a little cheated.

It felt like a promise only partially fulfilled. A glimpse into a world that could have been so much richer, so much darker, so much... more.

Maybe I'm just greedy. Maybe I just wanted more Dexter in my life.

Or maybe, just maybe, ten episodes wasn't enough to truly bring Dexter back from the dead, or resolve Dexter's past. I will always believe the storyline needed more room to play, to grow, and to bleed!
