If you\u2019re not familiar, this series acts as a <em data-start=\"386\" data-end=\"395\">prequel<\/em> to the original <em data-start=\"412\" data-end=\"420\">Dexter<\/em> show, which had a huge run from <strong data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"469\">2006 to 2013<\/strong> and built a massive fanbase.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"965\">\u201c<strong data-start=\"501\" data-end=\"517\">Original Sin<\/strong>\u201d gives us a peek into the early years of Dexter\u2019s life \u2014 basically how a seemingly normal guy turned into a cold, calculated serial killer. Gibson steps into the shoes of a young Dexter, a role that was originally played by <strong data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"761\">Michael C. Hall<\/strong> in the main series. And fun twist? Even though Hall isn\u2019t acting in this version of Dexter\u2019s youth, he\u2019s still involved \u2014 he narrates Dexter\u2019s inner thoughts and helps produce the show behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"967\" data-end=\"1490\">Set in <strong data-start=\"974\" data-end=\"989\">1990s Miami<\/strong>, the show follows teenage Dexter as he begins to realize he\u2019s\u2026 different. He struggles with violent urges and a dark side that won\u2019t go away. But instead of letting it take over him completely, he learns to control it \u2014 thanks to his adoptive dad <strong data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1246\">Harry<\/strong>, who teaches him \u201cthe Code.\u201d This code is basically a creepy moral compass: <strong data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1368\">only kill the people who truly deserve it<\/strong> \u2014 criminals, abusers, and the like. So while Dexter does become a killer, he sees himself as a twisted kind of vigilante.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1492\" data-end=\"1722\">At the same time, Dexter is trying to live a \u201cnormal\u201d life. He\u2019s doing a <strong data-start=\"1565\" data-end=\"1589\">forensics internship<\/strong> at the <strong data-start=\"1597\" data-end=\"1630\">Miami Metro Police Department<\/strong>, learning all about crime scenes \u2014 skills that\u2019ll come in handy for, well, obvious reasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1724\" data-end=\"2112\">The show\u2019s in great hands too. <strong data-start=\"1755\" data-end=\"1773\">Clyde Phillips<\/strong>, who ran the original series, is back as the showrunner. And Michael C. Hall is also helping out as an executive producer, along with a strong team that includes <strong data-start=\"1936\" data-end=\"1988\">Scott Reynolds, Mary Leah Sutton, Tony Hernandez<\/strong>, and <strong data-start=\"1994\" data-end=\"2009\">Lilly Burns<\/strong>. <strong data-start=\"2011\" data-end=\"2030\">Michael Lehmann<\/strong>, best known for directing <em data-start=\"2057\" data-end=\"2067\">Heathers<\/em>, is directing the series and also producing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2114\" data-end=\"2552\">But wait \u2014 there\u2019s more Dexter on the way!<br data-start=\"2156\" data-end=\"2159\" \/>Paramount clearly believes the Dexter franchise still has a lot of life in it.
