Re: Dexter: Original Sin - prequel series & Trinity series in the works
I feel like even the whole show would not hold up if I revisited it, including the “good” seasons. Dexter constantly spells every single thing out with his narration, things always work out for him, soap opera level cliffhangers. It’s like a pulp novel in that you read it and toss it.

Re: Dexter: Original Sin - prequel series & Trinity series in the works
I don't understand the thought process. Why not just reboot the whole series and start it from this point? Why hamstring yourself and the future timeline when you don't have to. They easily could have made this it's own new rebooted continuity. Make it more like the books that get super fucking weird to distinguish it from the original series. I'll still watch. But just seems like an odd way to keep the IP going.

I’ve been mildly curious about the books, but I hear that they really go off the rails and only a couple are good. I guess not a lot different from the show.

Personally, I'm 90% sure I won't watch it (but am mildly curious) - with a full-ass reboot I'm 100% out.

Re: Dexter: Original Sin - prequel series & Trinity series in the works
If it’s decent I’ll try to watch Dexter: Original Sin. I would prefer a full on reboot personally. So much of the original run (including New Blood) I don’t really care for and not sure why there’s the need to pigeonhole this new version into the existing highly flawed continuity.
Frankly as many Dexter fans as there may be I feel like there’s a good chunk of the fanbase that’s been pissed off twice now. Even if Original Sin is good it has a lot of baggage attached to it by being a prequel. I also think if this was a reboot people might be willing to give the new actor more of a shot.

The guy playing Dexter looks odd to me. Maybe seeing him in the role I’ll get used to him but kind of looks like a goober.

Looks like a parody.

Seriously what the hell? It does look like a parody. Down to using music that sounds like it’s trying to be a knock off of the music in the original show.

It's a jauntier version of the theme but keeping with the style of the original. The first episode better be good or I'm out.

They fact they basically copied the original intro doesn't bode well for this series IMO.

Set in 1991 Miami, Dexter: Original Sin 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 (Golden Globe® winner Christian Slater), he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcement’s radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department. Patrick Dempsey, Molly Brown, James Martinez, Christina Milian, Alex Shimizu, Reno Wilson and special guest star, Sarah Michelle Gellar also star in this new series, with Michael C. Hall returning to voice the iconic inner monologue in Dexter Morgan’s head. Witness the beginning as Dexter’s darkness first comes to light in DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN, streaming Friday, December 13 with the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME® plan.

Weird. They haven't mentioned a single thing about Dr Evelyn Vogel's casting or story presence. Season 8 really hammered that the code was hers and she was the driving force in molding Dexter (sarcasm).

The trailer shows how Dexter survived.

I will watch this but it seems like a parody. So over the top.

It’s what I expect from a Dexter series at this point. Might be alright. So also that trailer gives an indication of Dexter: Resurrection. I’ll be curious to see how that plays out.

Starts Friday. I’ll at least try it (and hopefully not be frustrated with it
). It doesn’t look bad and everyone is doing their best impersonation.I still don’t know if I see Patrick Gibson as Dexter. He has some of the mannerisms down but the overall look throws me.
