Jack Alcott is finally feeling the love.

After receiving so much hate from *Dexter* fans for his arc playing Harrison Morgan on the 2021 revival series *Dexter: New Blood*, the actor is winning viewers over with *Dexter: Resurrection*.

During a visit to **'s Comic-Con video studio Friday, Alcott's costars Michael C. Hall, James Remar, David Zayas, David Dastmalchian, and Krysten Ritter recall that he got a standing ovation during a recent series premiere screening event for the scene in which Harrison kills a rapist.

Alcott says the moment felt "fantastic" after his character was frequently maligned by fans.

"Particularly after the events of the last season, it was nice to feel the tide shift in that direction," Alcott says. "Because I think I had less fans before that, and then after that, everyone liked that."

Harrison was born in season 4 of the original run of *Dexter*, and was depicted as a baby and toddler throughout the rest of the series. When he returned in *New Blood*, Harrison was a brooding teenager (played by Alcott) angry at his father (Hall) for abandoning him as a child. By the end of *New Blood*, Dexter told his son to shoot him in the chest, and Harrison fled believing that he killed his father.

In the premiere of *Dexter: Resurrection*, Harrison is haunted by the memory of seemingly killing his father, especially when he becomes a killer himself. But Alcott tells EW that Harrison is not a sociopath like Dexter.

"I think he certainly feels empathy," Alcott explains. "He cares very deeply about what he believes is right and what he believes is wrong. But I don't think Harrison knows much more than that, because he has a very strong reaction to what he thinks is wrong. There's a lot of questions… He's a mess."

*Dexter: Resurrection* also introduces a slew of new killers in this week's episode, played by Dastmalchian, Ritter, Neil Patrick Harris, Eric Stonestreet, and Uma Thurman, all employed in a secret society by an eccentric billionaire obsessed with serial killers (Peter Dinklage).

"You've never seen anything like it," Dastmalchian teases. "It immediately felt like I was on the set of *Clue* by way of *American Psycho*."

*Dexter: Resurrection* releases new episodes on Fridays on Paramount+.
