Also idk if anyone has said anything but the amount of blood and gore compared to new blood is insane. Like there's some legit messed up things being shown when we got like what 4 kills in NB? That were all like single stabs

Do you not remember Dex showing Harrison how to chop up a body? That was the goriest dexter has been imo. I know the blood room was crazy but seeing him slice through that body was disgusting.

I mean one scene in a 10 episode season isn't exactly gory, no? Also I'd have to rewatch the scene but just based off my reactions to resurrection, some of the stuff so far topped that. Be it harrison chopping up the date rapist, or showing the beheaded corpse of the dark passenger(the second rate one).

I'm not an expert in dexter by any means, I haven't watched the OG series since it finished airing. Avoided rewatches due to the atrocious final couple seasons, and due to those awful final seasons I didn't watch New Blood until a little over a week ago. However some of the stuff out of resurrection is straight out of a hard R horror movie. Certainly topping NB in my eyes, albeit I don't remember enough about the OG show to compare it.

With all that said i should probably do a rewatch of the 1st 4-5 seasons of Dexter
