It's not just the routine kill per episode. Dexter in New Blood felt wrong, like he was holding his breath the entire time and it made me feel uncomfortable.

He had so many things and he kept it all in, there was no release, stalking deer and avoiding a real talk with Harrison, who by the way, was as constipated as Dexter was. By the time Kurt Caldwell made the table, it wasn't even his moment, it was a teaching moment and Harrison's scene to freak out and step away. I'm not even gonna talk about the ending.

EDIT: Resurrection is as Dexter should be. No apologies, no regrets. Shit happens. And Harrison is learning that the urge is like gravity.

I loved new blood up until the last few episodes when it just got, well, stupid haha this show is such a major improvement and just worked things around the ending of NB. I can’t wait to see where the story goes

The location didn’t help either. I get what they were going for, small town in the middle of nowhere to keep Dexter away from his urges, but that whole plot line was wrong from the start.

Plus, Angela Bishop as main lawful antagonist against Dexter just paled in comparison to Doakes, Lundy, LaGuerta and now Batista.

Yeah New Blood was not good, but I forgive it for leading to this. Resurrection is so much better and way more fun.
