Dexter New Blood

Native Film Talk

This Dexter reboot that takes place 10 years after the questionable ending of the original show. Far from Miami, Dexter finds himself under the alias, Jim Lindsay, and is no longer killing. On top of not satisfying his urges, he is dating the Chief of Police Angela Bishop who is Seneca. A crime takes place on tribal land we are taken on a wild ride which eventually leads to Dexter meeting his demise at the hands of his own son, (SPOILER ALERT!)

Despite not having any Native producers, writers, or directors this show had excellent Native representation. While they did not have those roles filled by Native people, they had a Seneca cultural consultant, Caleb Abrams. It is clear they had a great collaboration during the show, the product is solid.

While I wish there was more Native representation in the show, what was shown on screen was graceful and real. I enjoyed seeing this reboot and I hope you all get a chance to see it! Let me know what you all think and stay tuned for the next episode where I interview the cultural consultant on the show, Caleb Abrams!
