Miami, 1991. When his bloodthirsty urges can no longer be ignored, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he transforms from a schoolboy into a vengeful serial killer with the guidance of his father, Harry.. ‘Dexter’ has the same birthday as Michael S. Hall, February 1, 1971. In Episode 4, Blockbuster employee Deb and her boyfriend meet while wearing a navy blue short-sleeved shirt as part of their uniform. In 1991, employees wore light blue long-sleeved shirts. Short sleeves weren’t worn until 4-5 years later.. Followed by Dexter: Resurrection (2025). I went into this with pretty low expectations and mostly just excited for Resurrection. The beginning of the first episode was terrible with the editing and the CGI cop car and I thought “oh boy, this is going to fail”. By the end of the first episode I was eating crow as the actors embodied their characters perfectly and the story showed immense promise. While we already know a lot of the backstory, the first episode contains a few surprises that add depth to some of the characters we’ve come to know and love, and adds some backstory to the decisions these characters make. Just one episode and I’m hooked!
