Oh I am excited to hear this!

Since this is 2020 he will almost certainly be cutting only "white supremacists".

If the bad guy is either (1) some pseudo-nazi "white supremacist" or (2) some evil Christian cult, I'll pass.

Can Showtime's revival redeem Dexter?

The serial killer drama's 10-episode revival is a chance to atone for past mistakes with a do-over, says Ben Lindbergh. "There are two sides to Dexter’s legacy, as there are to its titular protagonist," says Lindbergh. "As with the murderous character, one of those sides is a lot less pretty than the other. There’s the presentable, prestige-TV veneer of a long-running, largely critically acclaimed series that was nominated for 24 Emmys, won four, and established Mr. Morgan as leading man Michael C. Hall’s most recognizable role. And then there’s one of those 'hidden truths that lie beneath the surface' that Dexter once described: The show had a horrible ending. As in, all-time, notoriously terrible, to the extent that the series is now better known for its infamous failure to stick any semblance of a non-punch-line landing than it is for the good-to-great seven seasons that preceded that stain on its rep."

When this was first on, I didn't have Showtime so I could only catch the occasional episode at friends homes. Now I have Showtime on my system and heard it was returning. My first thought was how can I watch it, I haven't seen the beginning. On a whim, I checked On-Demand. Sure enough there it is. So now I'm finally getting to see it. Can't believe I didn't think to check before.

Just finished watching season 4. I knew the ending was coming but still felt gut punched by it.
