Dexter: Original Sin

After Dexter new blood that I really enjoyed I was some what skeptical. A sequel that takes place in the past, not a easy task to pull off. We already know who dies, and what happens with the characters. Positively surprised, it has the Dexter vibe and I don't understand how some people rate this low. Throughout good acting by well known actors. I think they succeeded in building a Miami in the 90's feel with the music and wardrobe.

I was initially skeptical to the lead actor playing Dexter since I didn't think he fit the role but he grew on me and I do think he was a good pick for this role. All things added up I really enjoy this show.

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 wasn't sure what to expect going in but ended up being pleasantly surprised how much it felt like I was watching the old Dexter series. In the first series, Dexter would often recall a period from his past and in this latest series it's like going back to those scenes, but expanded. Another thing, as dark and sad as the original series was, it was full of dark humour as well. This latest series is even more so. I hope the whole series is as good as the first episode.

The acting is spot on. I almost lost it when I saw a young Bautista, HA! And oh my god, don't get me starter on Deb! And last, a great portrayal of a young 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'm a big-time Dexter fan, through and through. Dexter (seasons 1-8) is the only series I rewatch all the time.

Like Harry (according to Dexter), change is not easy for me.

So when Dexter: New Blood came out, at first the change of scenery, the cold, the absence of some beloved cast members and the lack of humour and latin music were a huge disappointment to me. However, after watching it as a standalone show (with no comparisons to the original), it grew on me.

Now, with this new show, of course we're not used to the new faces in the cast. We all remember the young Dexter, Deb and Harry to look different, even Laura Moser.

However, I think it may be unfair to judge the casting as we're not in the shoes of the casting directors and producers. I believe they had to consider many aspects besides just similar looks.

Yes, we all wish that Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, James Remar and the rest of the original cast could magically play the younger versions of their own characters, but time only goes one way. (Bonus: I really like Christian Slater. He's awesome as always!)

So far, after watching the first episode twice, I like it. I think everyone did a pretty decent job filling in those big Dexter shoes.

I cannot deny, actually, the fact that I'm now even more excited to watch Dexter: Resurrection after getting a glimpse of Dexter being revived in the emergency room.

In short, I think this show is cool and will probably grow on me even more with time.

If you're a Dexter fan, go in with no specific expectations or judgment. I believe you'll enjoy it!
