The fifth episode is enriched by a generous selection of Daniel Licht's iconic Dexter score.
Dexter: Original Sin, the prequel series chronicling a 20-year-old Dexter Morgan's first kills in 1991 Miami, has officially reached its halfway point. With five episodes aired, fans are diving deep into this latest installment of the Dexter franchise, which has sparked intense speculation about the identity of the season's "big bad."
Episode 5, titled "F is for F*ck Up," delves deeper into the lives of familiar characters while introducing new dimensions to Dexter and Deb's complex relationship. Fans have drawn comparisons to their dynamic in Dexter Season 6, last explored back in 2011. This emotional episode not only offers gripping storytelling but also features an eclectic mix of music that adds depth to the scenes.
One of the standout moments for fans is the inclusion of tracks by the late Daniel Licht, the beloved composer behind the original Dexter series. These nostalgic cues seamlessly connect the prequel to the original, capturing the essence of the show's earlier years. It's a heartfelt nod to long-time fans, and it leaves many hoping Licht’s iconic music will make its way into Dexter: Resurrection, which begins production this week.
