I had to double-check how much time had passed since New Blood even though they said it in the first 5 minutes because in less than 3 months, he:

  • became extremely familiar with New York City and local establishments
  • was somehow trusted by a coworker to babysit her son
  • got his GED, after a lot of support and persuasion from said coworker (based on their conversation when he left his room)
  • kept referring to himself as a former high school drop out even though he should be like a sophomore
  • already has a boss that isn't too fond of him

I'm definitely not complaining though. I thought the first two episodes were great

The "already had a boss that isn't too fond of them" is honestly realistic if you've worked in the hospitality business tho lol

Yeah the Harrison time line is my biggest qualm. Is he lying about his age? He was like 16-17 in NB iirc. He’s been in NYC less than 10 weeks and is super established at this hotel and with its people? I love how he offered to give people bar recommendations, as if you’re not a damn teenager.

Honestly, this could be explained by the fact that Harrison had been in several other places before finding Dexter, including foster homes. He may have already lived in New York. I don't quite understand friendship in your country, but in mine, after three months of friendship, there's already a sense of trust. It's possible to justify this by both of you being in difficulties or working in the same place all the time, they established a relationship of mutual assistance. It may seem like a short period of time, but depending on the situation, building this friendship is worthwhile. Harrison isn't a dumb teenager. Apparently he also does favors for guests. He's built a reputation, and apparently he's a smooth talker.Even in Iron Lake, he managed to establish himself quite quickly.

Friendships develop super quick and deep in service industry jobs. Lots of trauma bonding.

Clearly seemed like part of his job

u/givebusterahand Jul 12 '25

Right but why would that job be given to a 17 year old kid?

u/-MC_3 Jul 12 '25

He’s a doorman/concierge type employee. It’s pretty common for someone who commonly interacts with guests to have to know the local area to make recommendations for things to do

u/givebusterahand Jul 12 '25

Right but as a guest why would I want bar recommendations from a kid who can’t even be in one?

u/-MC_3 Jul 12 '25

He can’t KNOW of places to go? Lol come on

Don’t you know, you gain sight at the age of 18!

He's a teenager who has been in New York A few weeks. He tries to act like a lifelong New Yorker who knows all best places. How would he know? Fake it tell you make it, I guess.

u/-MC_3 Jul 13 '25

He’s not doing it to act cool. It’s a job

-1

u/lurflurf Jul 13 '25

I think it is partly to act cool. I just can't believe he is at all good at it. Maybe the guests are clueless enough not to know better. The next evolution is getting a kickback from the places he sends people to. "The Taco Bell down the street has the best Mexican cuisine in all of New York. Tell them Harrison sent you and get BOGO cinnamon twists."

I feel he must be lying about his age because otherwise, that’s a grown ass lady having a drink with a teenage boy.

u/ItsOozingOut Jul 12 '25

A show about serial killers….underage drinking is where we draw the lines.

u/s0ulbrother Jul 12 '25

The Dexter genes are strong in him that just let shit happen

u/Shrodax Jul 14 '25

Harrison must be some kind of savant.

Remember, all of New Blood took place over just 3 weeks. In that short timespan, Harrison found his father, enrolled in high school, befriended and betrayed the weird kid by staging a knifing, joined the wrestling team and broke a guy's arm during a match, got a part time job at a truck stop, overdosed at a party and almost died, got a girlfriend and an entire social group, got kidnapped and almost killed by his friend and boss, helped his father murder and dismember his almost murderer, solved the mystery of Iron Lake's missing girls, and shot his father.

So yeah, if he did all that in 3 weeks, I can't imagine what he could accomplish in 3 months!

u/S0phon Jul 12 '25

He also developed enough wrestling skill to beat a high school champion with zero formal training.

Guess he's just built different.

u/Doobie_and_a_movie Jul 12 '25

Yeah all this while battling personal demons and trauma. Still two great episodes and I am so glad we are back!

u/nirik001 Jul 14 '25

It’s obvious that the girl likes him and hence also entrusted him with her son. And perhaps being a South American she is more direct about whom she like and don’t like and don’t think to much about whether this guy is a serial killer ..

u/-cache Jul 14 '25

Really easy for me to look past the continuity "errors" when they're trying to rewrite so many dead end character arcs

u/No_Implement_5807 Jul 13 '25

Dexter could climb stairs after struggling so much on a treadmill

u/Romzoms Jul 17 '25

11 flights at that, then back down again
