Miami, 1991. When his bloodthirsty impulses can no longer be ignored, young Dexter Morgan must learn to channel his inner darkness as he goes from student to avenging serial killer under the tutelage of his father Harry. Christian Slater is older than James Remar was when Dexter (2006) first aired.
After watching the first episode of this Dexter prequel, I am completely blown away. Even though a lot of time has passed since the original, the show feels incredibly authentic. From the opening title sequence to the younger versions of the characters, their mannerisms and personalities are perfect.
It’s a faithful recreation of the original essence and will hopefully serve as a strong foundation for Dexter: Resurrections. Fans of the series are in for a treat! If you’re a movie buff like me, you’ll appreciate the time and effort Clyde Phillips and everyone else put into making this film.
It’s not my place to say where it could have been improved. Thank you. Update your Watchlist with the latest selection of streaming movies and TV shows coming to Paramount+ this month.
