Key Art for ‘Dexter: Original Sin’ Coutesy of Paramount+ with Showtime.

Truly, one of the most impactful franchises in recent years, has to be Dexter. Simply because it took the serial killer story to a whole new level, courtesy of a unique and transformative plot that plunged us into the life a different kind of killer. One who was broken for certain, but human enough that we understood him but never idolized him. Not to mention, his journey offered up some unique questions about justice in our world and what it means to take matters into one’s hand, villain or not.

If anything, this concept was so powerful and so impactful in nature, that it gave rise to eight seasons, a wrap up story for Dexter himself, and now… an origin story. For Dexter: Original Sin, debuts on Paramount+ this Friday, and it is set in 1991 Miami and follows Dexter (Patrick Gibson) as he transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can’t be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness with the guidance of his father, Harry (Christian Slater), and well, to properly prepare everyone for this new chapter in the Dexter-verse, Paramount+ offered up quite the gift.

In that, all eight seasons of the original series, Dexter, have been unlocked ahead of Original Sin’s release. Which allow for hardcore fans of the show to revisit those early days, and the Trinity Killer and beyond. Whereas new fans can learn of that monster’s horror and learn about Dexter’s epic journey. All before settling in to see the next two chapters in the story. Since Dexter: New Blood is also available to stream as well.

All of which really is, quite the gift from Paramount+. For fans love being able to settle in and binge a complete story in one place, and that can finally happen with this important franchise. One that truly explored the madness of a killer, whether or not he can be redeemed and now… we will learn, starting this Friday… what made Dexter into a killer and what truly put him down the unique path that has captivated us for decades on end.
