I liked the premier episode. Good opening, a funny little way of saying, this is how Dexter continues after New Blood. I got good laugh from one of the recast. While that character is barely seen, the line he says and the way he delivers it, you know who it is.
I thought the Captain was being portrayed as Matthew's, which led me to believe the actor wasn't doing a lot to be like Capt. Matthew's, but I see that it's Capt. Aaron Spencer. That explains why it didn't remind me of Matthews
I have to say, it looks promising. While you know where it will go, they're setting things up in a way that has me wondering, I wonder what this character is about, what happens, and why weren't they in the original show? Dexter narrating this is perfect.
