Twin spinoffs Dexter: Original Sin and Dexter: Resurrection will fill in more blanks on Dexter’s story.
But is it all necessary?
The writers will find a loophole to easily bring him back into the picture.
The bigger problem withDexter: Resurrectionis that its inclusion into the franchise makesDextera five-show vehicle.
It certainly begs the question in the case of this franchise: how much Dexter is too much Dexter?
People live vicariously through Dexter because he doesnt seem as evil as his actions insist he is.
Humans are all predisposed to at least some level of violence on an evolutionary level.
Dexters desire to take another life belies the many qualities that make him human rather than a monster.
Michael C. Halls career-defining performance only makes it easier to keep asking him to embody the character.
The original show detailed the prime of his life in his 30s.
This massive timeline isnt necessarily a bad thing.
The main issue with adding more content to a story is diluting the original one.
David Chase may regret making theSopranosmovie because the quality was much lower than the TV show.
Vince Gilligan wont craft any more Walter White stories becauseBreaking Badis universally beloved.
Why change the final impression of art if its already flawless?
Dexterdoesnt have to worry about this quandary.
Dexteris now a way of life instead of a TV show, and that might just be okay.
