What to Know

Critics Consensus

Original Sin cares less about injecting fresh blood than reviving a tried-and-true formula, making for a prequel that's just solid enough to scratch the Dexter itch with a scalpel.

Louis Peitzman New York Magazine/Vulture The resolutions themselves, however, are mostly clunky, reflecting the overall clumsiness of the season. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2025 Full Review Lauren Sarner New York Post “Dexter: Original Sin” isn’t unwatchable. It’s filled with entertaining performances, but the story feels like it’s beating a dead horse, rather than offering up an exciting prequel that has a compelling reason to exist. Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Turns out there’s still blood -- just a few drops -- to be squeezed from everyone’s favourite vigilante serial killer. Jan 3, 2025 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof ...a solid and absorbing crime series whose biggest crime is that it's a prequel.[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network The fact that this series has flashbacks is even more ridiculous than the hair Patrick Gibson sports in the first episode. Rated: 6/10 Jan 2, 2025 Full Review Marty Brown Common Sense Media Dexter's tale is quickly becoming the most overtold origin story after Batman. Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Gabriel W Dexter Original Sin, kann es mit Dexter nicht aufnehmen und soll es auch nicht. Das Hauptproblem ist es Spannung zu erzeugen, da Kenner von Dexter wissen, wie es ausgeht. Vor allem hat auch Dexter davon gelebt, dass die Protagonisten um ihn herum "nichts" wussten. Dasselbe war mit der Spannung auch bei der Serie Hannibal. Wir als Zuschauer waren so lange "Komplizen", bis diejenigen innerhalb der Serie aufgeflogen sind. So kann die Serie nur leisten, eine gute und plausible Vorgeschichte zu erzählen, und für nicht Dexter Kenner einen sehr guten Einstieg. Die Darsteller sind allesamt gut getroffen und ich freue mich auf die Dexter Stimmung und auch Stars wie Patrick Dempsey, Sarah Michelle Gellar oder Christian Slater. Auch der Dexter Darsteller leistet eine Top Arbeit Zu bemängeln wären nur Kleinigkeiten. Sprichwort: Tribüne. Das fand ich selbst für einen Anfänger Dexter etwas seltsam. Abgesehen davon freue mich auf eine weiter Staffel. Dexter is Back. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Audience Member If you’re a true Dexter fan, then this one hits the nail on the head! I love that the characters mimic the original cast and the original voice over for Dexter.. brilliant. It’s perfectly done and look forward to more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Zoltán K Best series behind regular dexter, bb, sop, bcs Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review allan m Solid. Enjoying the voiceover from the original Dexter. Great casting, a little campy and cheesy, nice throwback to the vibe of the original. Doesn't add a lot to the arc, but a fun watch nonetheless. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Audience Member The spawning of all the Showtime aesthetic & storytelling by Dexter Morgan we fell in love with years ago. The casting is uncanny of the original characters, with maybe the exception of Christian Slater as Harry, Dexter's dad. Still, Slater holds his own with this timeline of the character. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Sturtz S Un guion excelente a traves del cual estamos conociendola historia de Dexter, un show con matices que van desde lo divertido al drama pasando por el suspenso y la intriga. Actuaciones impecables y muchos descubrimientos. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
