Dexter: Original Sin

I was very leery as most modern remakes or prequel/sequels today are just sooo bad. I was presently surprised though. It started from the shows intro, they did a very good job of casting with the actor playing the young Dexter could pass as an actually son. Actually all of the characters are cast pretty well with the exception of the "Deb" character, she is pretty terrible. The actress they cast doesn't resemble her and can not deliver a line correctly. They wrote her dialog well, just the actress does not deliver it with the right attitude or timing. This is a minor distraction though as overall it's worth a couple more episode to see if they blow it or not.

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.

I went into this with pretty low expectations and mostly just excited for Resurrection. The beginning of the first episode was cringey with the edits and the CGI cop car, and I thought "oh boy, this is going to flop". By the end of the first episode, I was eating crow, as the actors embodied their characters perfectly and the story showed immense promise.

While we know much of the backstory already, the first episode held a couple of surprises that add to the depth of some of the characters we've grown to know and love, and adds some background into the decisions made by those characters. Only one episode in and I'm hooked already!

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.

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.
