Season 1 Review:
The bright side here is that while Original Sin isn’t exactly breaking new ground, it does recall enough of the first show’s visceral pleasures without feeling too tired. Also, while the premiere didn’t feature enough of Patrick Dempsey and Sarah Michelle Gellar to get a good sense of their characters, it’ll be exciting to find out what they bring to the mix.

Season 1 Review:
Dexter: Original Sin gets off to a rough start, reminding us that there was little need for a prequel about Dexter Morgan – so much that’s in this premiere episode was already depicted or explained in the original series. There’s also a struggle to overcome the “Dexter Babies” vibe given off by the new actors.

Season 1 Review:
One of the interesting things about Original Sin is that we already know a great deal about Dexter Morgan from the original series, including how his father Harry shaped his control over his “Dark Passenger” and how the murder of his mother shaped his personal demons. So seeing it all played out sometimes feels a bit like watching a community theater version of a play you know by heart. It also doesn’t help at all that several of the major players seem miscast or poorly directed at best.

Season 1 Review:
Gibson lacks some of the charisma Hall brought to the original Dexter, and without that pull, it's sometimes hard to root for a guy who doesn't feel much of anything except for an obsession with blood. The arrival of a new, younger Dexter back on our screens shouldn't be this dull.

Season 1 Review:
“Original Sin” doesn’t draw any new life from a piece of IP that’s now old enough to vote. It does, however, represent the profit-chasing retrospection that’s devouring culture from the inside out like a termite infestation. All that’s left is a hollow structure to be blown away by the next Miami storm.
