Unfortunately, this series has the same problem that Dexter: New Blood did: it never stops feeling like trying to stretch out a story that's already been told.

The premiere of Dexter: Original Sin gives us a fresh look at how Dexter’s dark passenger was born, and from what we’ve seen so far, this is going to be a wild ride.

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.

The creators have to be sure the different versions of these characters still line up, and so far, [“And In The Beginning…”] does that perfectly.
