Dexter: New Blood Episode 8 ‘Unfair Game’ is the shortest episode of the series so far. Yet, it had the most intriguing premise that keeps you hooked till the end. There is the right amount of action, bloodshed, mystery, curiosity and lots of emotions. Without giving away much, I’ll say that this episode will change the entire game in the series. The entire sequence of Dexter running in the snow to save his life gave me good Fargo feels.

Michael C Hall as Dexter is remarkable as expected. His dialogues can make you chuckle even in the intense sequences. Jack Alcott’s Harrison has opened up well in today’s episode. When you watch Harrison, you realise he just needs his father to accept the real him. His anger is justified considering how they never had that connection, to be honest with each other. Jack is quite good in the emotional scenes.
Dexter: New Blood Episode 8 Review: Final Thoughts
Overall, the latest episode might be the shortest but proves to be the best one so far. Yes, I say this after every episode since episode 5 because the writing is truly brilliant. It leaves you anxious till the end. The ending is emotional and thrilling at the same time. I’ll say it again; it just sucks that we have to wait another week to know what’s next. It’s also unfortunate that we only have 2 more episodes of a series that has made a fantastic comeback so far.
The episode is now streaming on Voot.
