Dexter… what a great series! Showtimes take on this series based off on the books from Jeff Lindsey, “Darkly Dreaming Dexter” was beautifully crafted. First off, they got an amazing actor to play the role of Dexter, and the actor Michael C. Hall did an awesome job playing him. As well as the other actors that played major and minor roles in this series: Jennifer Carpenter, David Zayas, James Remar, C. S. Lee and the list goes on! What’s also awesome and mostly eye catching about this series is that it juggles the life of Dexters forensics works for the Miami Metro Police while also being a weird, anti-hero serial killer in a way. As this show does NOT shy away from showing you all the nitty gritty gruesome stuff. Which makes the show all more disturbingly pleasant.

Dexter: Original Sin, is a great, fresh look at bringing back a beloved show without screwing it up. As somewhat a new fan that watched(binged) the whole 8, season series. I fell in love with it! The thing that makes the original so great was its long screen times with character dialogue and little to no scenery shots for transitions(and when we would get a scenery transition in the original series, usually the space would be filled in with Dexters internal dialogue. Almost is if we were with Dexter along the ride). That’s what I feel this series lacks a bit in, especially with episode one. However though, the casting is phenomenal! At first I was just stunned to hear how each actor sounded like their former actors in the original series. Especially Molly Browns’ take on young Debra, she really nailed it! I could close my eyes and play two clips of Debra talking from the Original series and this prequel and wouldn’t be able to differentiate who’s who! Overall this series is really good and definitely deserves the attention it’s getting. 🙌🏼

Watch this show now. When you have the time or just looking for a show watch this it will be very worth it. The lore,animation,art everything is just perfect. I love that they put so much time into the art, the animation, the lore. This series make you want to watch episode, after episode, after episode. As a person who wants to animate and make a show in the future it has truly made me want to persuade my career. I wish I could give this 10 stars, heck even a million stars. The character development, how they react differently to each situation, their personality, their design everything is just AMAZING. I am really looking forward to seeing season two and seeing what’s these amazing creators will make in the next chapter.
