'Dexter: Resurrection's' Fourth Episode Was Superb, And We Talked To Michael C. Hall, Krysten Ritter And More Stars About The Serial Killer Club

Cinema Blend

Wowzers and then some, guys. Dexter: Resurrection seemed like it was giving audiences more of a singular storyline hinging entirely on Michael C. Hall’s back-from-retirement vigilante reconnecting with his son after Harrison shot him in New Blood’s finale. (To the point where it sometimes seemed like maybe Harrison should have been the main character.) But Episode 4, “Call me Red,” brought out all the big guest stars and was a glorious reminder of how unpredictable and delightfully weird this horror-soaked universe can be.  Having taken out the horrendously named rideshare-targeting Dark Passenger in Episode 3, Dexter took on his victim’s persona and followed his invitation to meet Peter Dinklage’s hyper-rich Leon Prater ahead of his gathering of the ghouls. Which is where we meet Krysten Ritter’s Mia “Lady Vengeance” Lapierre, Eric Stonestreet’s “Rapunzel”-monikered Al, David Dastmalchian’s brooding Gareth, a.k.a. Gemini Killer, and Neil Patrick Harris’ skin-obsessed Lowell, the Tattoo Collector.

00:00they're all on like it's like this neck and neck disturbing neck and neck disturbing

00:04but there was something for me about getting to watch this gentleman when he brought the

00:10dark half of al to life and i was just sitting a few feet away from him and he's an old friend of

00:15mine who's a deeply you know kind loving generous human being and i'm watching him go to a place

00:21that i never thought i'd get to see him go and that made my skin crawl and i love that very nice

00:29of you that that that exemplifies the type of group of people we got the pleasure to work with

00:34everyone's so nice and supportive and uh we were i think we were all just excited to dip our toes

00:39into this so clearly defined world that clyde and scott the others have created over the years

00:45michael um i would say probably i mean i'm gonna throw it right back at you because it you know it

00:53is if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it might be a duck and so

01:00where you may not see me coming from a million miles away uh you see him coming from a million miles away

01:05and there's something really scary about thinking what something is and then it being that exact

01:10thing so i would put dave there thank you i don't feel disturbed by my character i just believed it and

01:16i loved playing her she is um very delicious very confident very modern um very glamorous

01:25but also a little psychotic and deranged and it was so much fun to to sink into that role and i would

01:33play that character for years and years it was like the best time i've ever had and can i say

01:38krista and i've been friends for a long time and i've always felt like she's my goth buddy my goth

01:42niece my goth little sister that i always wanted to get to do something with creatively and it was

01:48really freaking cool to get to go play and be murderers together you were the first i wasn't

01:52supposed to say anything yet but when i found out that he was doing it i was like we're gonna get

01:56to work together finally i mean we're so gratified that we were able to attract uh an ensemble of

02:03actors this season of the caliber that we did i mean you know it's a dice roll going back in and

02:10and revisiting this character and and the world and the fact that all those people joined us was

02:17pretty gratifying we're like okay you know maybe maybe maybe we're on to something yeah yeah it was

02:24awesome i mean i feel like this season kind of expands the the window it's it's more viscerally human

02:37and undeniably sort of rich in that way in terms of his relationship with his son and his internalized

02:43relationship with his father but it's also just more wondrous and magical and insane and dreamlike this

02:52this world that leon prater uh has facilitated shooting that fourth episode i felt like dexter had

03:03been transported into some sort of bizarro twisted superhero movie it was it was like it was so wild
