"Dexter: Original Sin" - A Family Affair with Familiar Faces
TL;DR Summary
"Dexter: Original Sin," a prequel to the popular series, struggles to offer fresh content, instead rehashing familiar storylines and characters from the original show. Set in 1991, it follows a young Dexter as he begins his career in the Miami police department, but fails to fill in significant gaps in his backstory. Despite new cast members like Christian Slater and Sarah Michelle Gellar, the series leans heavily on nostalgia and established lore, offering little innovation or depth.
