    In Dexter’s glory days, it was quite entertaining to watch a serial killer serial-kill his way through the worst people Miami had to offer. Considering the vibes of our society today, "Dexter: Original Sin" might be keeping that proud tradition alive, at the most apt time possible.

    "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.

    One of the interesting things about "Dexter: 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.

    The arrival of a new, younger Dexter back on our screens shouldn't be this dull.

    "Dexter: 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.
