Dexter: Original Sin

A great series, back to the roots, amazing cast line up and good weekly episodes. Back to form.

Then Skydance decide not to pursue season2!! Wtf!!

I invested time in this as the original was great, it was a return to form for the Dexter franchise and despite the recast it was back up there with the original.

Skydance and Paramount get a grip and finish what you start, even if a tv movie or extended episode.

Dexter is easily one of my favorite tv shows of all-time and one of the few shows I can watch all the way through several times over without getting bored. It's hard for me to put into words how much I loved the original show. The only thing that's not good about it is the ending. Even though the ending was pretty bad but that still doesn't take away from how good the show is overall. So with that said I was really looking forward to Dexter: Original Sin and it did not disappoint. Patrick Gibson who plays a young Dexter Morgan absolutely kills it, as does the rest of the cast. This is a must watch for any fan of Dexter.

Thank you for this series ,and most important its nearly impossible to have a bad finale this time. It is exacly what i personally and i guess most of Dexter fans needed after the disasterous finale of new blood. Cant wait for the next episode, the vibes from the original series hit so hard , the cast seems great picks overall ,main actor with Halls voice in the background is almost like he is playing all over again. Music and songs lovely, script also very nice for a pilot episode ,everything seem to go in the right direction ,but im so scared to be happy because this was exactly how we all felt with new blood as well. But hey at least we have a Dexter series again.

I need to start off this review by saying how much I absolutely loved Dexter. I loved it so much that I've watched it all the way through several times and was never bored. Then came Dexter: New Blood in 2021 and even though it wasn't as good as the original I still enjoyed it. The ending to both of those shows were awful, especially Dexter: New Blood. Now comes Dexter: Original Sin with the origin story of a young Dexter Morgan and how he became everyone's favorite serial killer. It also brings back the younger version of most of the original characters too. I don't know how they keep doing it but none of the Dexter shows disappoint. All 3 are a fun watch. I hope to see this Dexter series go for several more seasons.

Well what can I say?

Having watched the first episode of this prequel to Dexter, I am absolutely blown away. Even though it's been a long while since the original, the show feels incredibly authentic. From the opening title sequence to the younger versions of the characters, their mannerisms and personalities are spot on. It's a faithful recreation of the original's essence and hopefully serves as a strong build-up to Dexter: Resurrections. Fans of the series are in for a treat!

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Clyde Phillips and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.
