Dexter: Pecado Original

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!

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.

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.

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.
