I put it on initially expecting to hate it and turn it off after 10 minutes but I ended up watching it all and I enjoyed it.

Sure it's cheesy and cliched but it's was also quite fun. I liked the lead actress, I haven't seen her before in anything but she reminded me of Sandra Bullock.

The plot is very far fetched especially in more modern times and I am sure she could have easily explained the email away had she tried but then hey, there wouldn't be much of a movie without this premise.

It's a harmless TV movie type of film with some silly and funny bits. Don't think too deeply about it, just enjoy it.

After being a huge Dexter fan from the original series I was so nervous this new mini series would be disappointing and ruin all that had gone before it.

I, like all true Dexter fans, hated the ending to the original series and felt extremely dissatisfied with it. The last series was pretty bad and wrapped everything up in a horrible way that left us feeling short changed after being so thrilling and entertaining right up until it wasn't.

I couldn't see a way for New Blood to put it right and revive things but it really pulled it off. Much darker than the original there were still little glimpses of Dexter's old sense of humour and sarcasm thrown in but with new spins on how he handles things and navigates his relationships.

So my disappointment this time comes from the series ending with Dexter's own death, meaning there will be no more, as I was really looking forward to having him around again after all these years. I know it had to end this way but all through the last episode I was trying to think how he could get out of it this time but sadly it wasn't to be.

Only discovered this series recently and have really enjoyed cringing along with it but feel Cathy's character is getting way too over the top. No one would tolerate her behaviour and it was much funnier when her antics were less vicious.

I do miss Sharon Rooney playing Christine's daughter Sophie but like the addition of Joy McAvoy and Graeme Stevely (Michelle & Al), they've slotted right in but the writers definitely need to soften Cathy so she isn't totally hateful.

The 5 stars are for Olivia Coleman's acting, which was superb as always but it was very hard to watch to the end when her character was so narcissistic and just horrid.

Everyone in the film were out for themselves and I had a knot in my stomach the whole way through from the general air of malice and uneasiness.

Quite disappointing as I actually wanted to see her get in trouble in the end, because I felt like she deserved it.

One of the poorest films I've seen yet I gave it 2 stars as I couldn't stop watching. Every scene was weirder than the previous one. The story is disjointed but has a sort of comedy/drama running through it. Rape, incest, bears, suicide...weirdly decent acting performances but the plot... oh boy.
