Can eight seasons really fit into a four-hour video recap? Surprisingly, yes!
With Dexter: Original Sin now out for nearly two weeks and episode 4, "Fender Bender," premiering tomorrow on Paramount+ with Showtime, the network delivered a holiday treat for fans—both new and longtime—on Christmas Day: an epic, supercut recap of all eight seasons of the original series.
This comprehensive video serves as Showtime’s latest effort to shine a spotlight on the Dexter franchise, aiming to draw in fresh audiences while rekindling interest among devoted followers. The franchise’s future looks promising, with exciting projects on the horizon, including the highly anticipated Dexter: Resurrection—a continuation of the 2021-2022 miniseries Dexter: New Blood—and the Trinity prequel, which remains in active development.
Showtime dubs this recap an "XL Recap," with each season condensed into approximately 28 minutes. The compilation masterfully highlights key storylines and pivotal moments from the original series, though it tactfully skips over certain gruesome killings of Dexter’s infamous Big Bads, leaving a few surprises intact for new viewers.
