Unlike previous episodes, the sixth installment featured a more restrained selection of music.
The latest episode of Dexter: Original Sin, titled "The Joy of Killing", premiered on Friday and is now available for streaming on Paramount+ with the Showtime plan. In this gripping sixth episode, Dexter Morgan showcases his prowess as a criminal investigator, goes on a double date with his sister, and crosses a major threshold—officially embracing his identity as a serial killer.
However, things take a dark turn for the 20-year-old Dexter. As he heads to Alligator Alley to dispose of Levi Reed’s body, he finds himself in serious trouble. What happens next? We’ll have to wait until Friday, January 24, when the series returns after a brief one-week hiatus.
Music Spotlight: Songs Featured in Dexter: Original Sin Episode 6
One of the standout elements of Dexter: Original Sin has been its carefully curated soundtrack. Throughout the first season, the show has incorporated an array of licensed songs, many hailing from the late 1980s to early 1990s. While Episode 6 wasn’t as musically dense as previous episodes, it still delivered some memorable tracks. Unfortunately, not all songs were easily identifiable.
For the fifth week in a row, we’ve compiled a comprehensive list of songs from the latest episode. While unreleased tracks by Daniel Licht and Pat Irwin remain elusive, we’ve identified every song we could, complete with details about the artists, release years, and the scenes they accompany.
