I binge watched Dexter Resurrection this weekend... I was a big fan of the original (until it went shit) and the New Blood one was done surprisingly well if you just ignore how we get there.

Anyway, the whole reboot/let's all forget how the original series ended sees Dexter in New York and while its absolute bobbins, its fantastic fun. The visuals and soundtrack are great and there's a surprisingly stacked cast all playing along and hamming it up. Well worth a watch.

I like that that creature is getting a lot of screentime - you can tell they're enjoying finding things for it to do. I think Alien Earth is considered non-canon so they can get away with it.

It's also good to see Michael Smiley keeping busy (aka Tyres from Spaced, among many, many other things)

We wait 27 years for decent Alienverse TV/Film and now there's two in two years. Continuity and logic errors forgiven coz rogue synths, monstrous bugs and mad men made for excellent entertainment. (And some ace closing credits tracks)

Can't wait for S2.

Sorry for being thick but what is the second one? I might even start Alien Earth again tonight!

Not quite as many belly laughs or visual gags as some of the earlier films, but still enough.

More mind-blowing animation - the narrow boats moving at speed for example

8 evil gnomes out of tent.

Holy post resurrection batman, only recently discovered this on Netflix. You must have been commenting on season 1, but season 2 is even better. Really enjoyed both seasons.

Apparently season 3 is coming next year too.
