Story
Miami, 1991
When he can no longer ignore his bloodthirsty urges, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he goes from schoolboy to vengeful serial killer under the guidance of his father Harry. Christian Slater is older than James Remar was when Dexter (2006) first aired. Followed by Dexter Resurrection (2025), Dexter: Original Sin takes a bold gamble by revisiting Dexter Morgan’s formative years and offering a new perspective on his dark companion. While some prequels stumble under the weight of established canon, Original Sin largely succeeds, enriching the Dexter mythology while delivering a compelling standalone story.
One of the series’ greatest strengths is its cast
Patrick Gibson, though initially a questionable choice, grows into the role of young Dexter and captures the character’s signature mix of social malaise and frighteningly calculated violence. Molly Brown shines as Deb, bringing a fiery spirit and vulnerability to the younger version of the character that resonates deeply. The supporting cast, including Alex Shimizu as Masuka and James Martinez as Batista, also deliver strong performances, effectively capturing the essence of their original counterparts. Christian Slater, however, seems somewhat miscast as Harry and struggles to fully embody the character’s inner conflicts.
Original Sin is not without its faults
The series deftly weaves in familiar elements from the original Dexter, including iconic musical numbers and visual motifs, but also breaks new ground. The plot surrounding Harry’s deceased son adds a layer of complexity to Dexter’s origin story, though it occasionally drifts into the melodramatic. The central mystery surrounding Dexter’s current predicament in Iron Lake provides a compelling thread and keeps tension high throughout the season. The pacing can be uneven, with some episodes feeling rushed while others drag.
The excessive use of licensed music occasionally clashes with the show’s darker themes
And while the CGI is generally better compared to the first episode, some scenes still suffer from noticeable visual effects issues. Despite these shortcomings, Dexter: Original Sin is a worthwhile addition to the Dexter universe. It’s a darkly entertaining exploration of Dexter’s past and offers a new perspective on his transformation into the Bay Harbor Butcher. While it won’t entirely satisfy all fans, especially those who were disappointed by New Blood, Original Sin offers enough compelling moments, strong performances, and intriguing twists to keep viewers hooked until the bloody ending.
