Sarah Michelle Gellar as cops who work with Harry — and later Dexter, as the latter begins his internship at the Miami Metro Police Department. “Dexter: Original Sin” is entertaining enough if you’re a “Dexter” fan.

It’s got great performances and delivers some stale thrills — but with an emphasis on stale.The original “Dexter” was Showtime’s biggest hit, airing for eight seasons from 2006 to 2013.

The story followed Dexter (Michael C. Hall), a serial killer whose cop father, Harry (James Remar), taught him to channel his urges into only targeting fellow killers as his victims.

In 2021, it had a sequel series, “Dexter: New Blood,” following Dexter years after the events of the show. In the original show, Dexter worked by day as a blood spatter analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department.
