Wasn’t half of the previous show already explaining everything in flashbacks? What’s the point of another prequel series then

Set 15 years before the events of “Dexter

The actor playing "young Dexter" is only 6 years younger than Michael C. Hall was when he Dexter started, lol

I'm eh about this and don't think it's necessary. I read all the books and loved the original series with those actors. But Sarah michelle gellar might make me give it a try?

The dad’s casting is perfect. (Spoiler cut in case y’all don’t know the origin story)

[Spoiler (click to open)] Christian Slater 100% looks like a serial killer who would teach his son to also be a serial killer

[fantastiche]

omg. Is that really the origin story in the books? What a departure from the show.

Also they really went all-in on making Christian Slater look like James Remar's Harry.

He didn’t teach him to be a serial killer he recognized that Dexter would likely become one so he taught him to only go after other serial killers.
