Dec. 8-14: Paramount Plus to Add 5 New Titles This Week – Here’s the One to Watch

Paramount Plus this week (December 8-14, 2024) plans to add five new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here’s the one you should watch, in my humble opinion.

Dexter: Original Sin (Series Premiere)
Showtime shows us that you can’t keep a good serial killer down. Less than three years after we thought we witnessed the end of Dexter Morgan, the cold-blooded murderer with a code, Showtime returns with a prequel 10-episode series starring Patrick Gibson as young Dex being tutored on how to kill the right way by his policeman Dad, played by Christan Slater. (And Michael C. Hall will apparently find his way back in as the adult Dexter in a continuation of the original Dexter series, which is now in development. Plus, he will deliver ‘the inner voice’ of young Dex in the prequel!) I might hesitate to recommend the prequel which airs this week. However, Clyde Phillips, who served as Dexter’s showrunner in the early seasons, is back to run this one and he’s really good. So, despite Showtime beating a dead horse, so to speak, the odds are good that Dexter: Original Sin will be riveting drama. Debuts Friday, December 13. Paramount Plus with Showtime plan required.
