Dexter: Original Sin (Dexter Morgan's prequel in Miami Metro)

[jamestech]

More than a decade ago I watched the original Dexter when it first came to Blu-ray and it was so entertaining and easy to watch, absolutely fantastic! I'd have to put Dexter in my top TV shows of all time list, next to The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Star Trek and so on.

I have also seen Dexter New Blood and it was ok, and that is all I have to say about that.

Now I hear Dexter: Original Sin is significanly better than New Blood was and the upcoming Steelbook is pretty sharp looking so I went ahead and pre-ordered it.

My questions is this, I have only seen the original Dexter all the way thru, one time and I am ready to see it again. Should I wait to see Original Sin before I dive back into Dexter for the second time? thanks in advance.

Just my opinion but I think you’ll appreciate Original sin a lot more if the original series is fresh in your mind. There are a ton of call backs and Easter eggs. I had to google some of it because it’s been about four years since I watched the OG.

If possible, I would definitely watch the OG before OS, just because it lays so much groundwork for the connectivity and concepts carried over into the rest of the Dexter projects. NB is only relevant to the upcoming Resurrection series, but it features a smidge of irrelevant connectivity to OS, in the form of the flashback kill and some of Dexter explaining his killing history to his son.

This had gone under my radar until recently, but watched the first season in double-quick time, because I was really enjoying it.
Definitely felt a bit odd at first, a bit like the recent(ish) Star Trek films, with all these different actors portraying characters we’d gotten to know over the years, but on the whole the casting was really good and they all played the parts to a tee (the younger Batista was uncanny).

Felt very much like old school Dexter (because I guess it was )

Yeah i blindbought the steelbook on amazon and watched it in a few days, it was great. Dude has Micheal C Halls mannerisms down. Other actors were all great as well.

Agreed. Frankly I'd much rather a second season to 'Original Sin' than 'Resurrection'....

Wtf

This show was fantastic and there was so much potential, definitely very unfortunate we won't see a second season.
