Dexter: Original Sin
TV Show • 2024 • Crime
ReportSynopsis
In 1991 Miami, Dexter Morgan transitions from student to avenging serial killer. When his bloodthirsty urges can't be ignored any longer, Dexter must learn to channel his inner darkness. With the guidance of his father, Harry, he adopts a Code designed to help him find and kill people who deserve to be eliminated from society without getting on law enforcements' radar. This is a particular challenge for young Dexter as he begins a forensics internship at the Miami Metro Police Department.

Dexter releases a parrot, letting it fly away from its home into the wild. Not ideal for a domesticated pet, though it was arguably better than being owned by a thug or killed by a serial killer.

If you consider cheating to be abusive: Doris forgives Harry for cheating on her, but mostly because their baby daughter had just been born.

(as of episode 1) no but someone is almost r*ped. A man is caught in the act of about to r*pe an unconscious woman at a party episode 1 about 16 minutes in.
Dexter season 1 has r*pe on screen a few times so I would be ready for it in this series

This show takes place in Miami. The ocean is shown many times throughout, and Dexter getting a boat is a big plot point. If this is a major trigger for you, I’d recommend not watching because it’s unavoidable.

Right when the cops open the shipping container, the female cop on the right looks like she will, but she just sort of gags and makes a face then steps offscreen. There’s no visual or audio. I found it mildly triggering, so skip the scene if you’re concerned. If you’ve been watching the show, it’s not anything critical to skip entirely.
