Dexterbecame a sensation for a reason, so ranking each of the franchise’s shows is no straightforward task.

Additionally, with just minutes-long episodes,Early Cutswas never able to build much momentum.

Now,Early Cutsis little more than an interesting footnote for avidDexterfans.

For all its critiques, however,New Bloodstill wasn’t a bad show.

The main thing currently holdingOriginal Sinback is its recency.

The supporting cast was also tremendous, with Jennifer Carpenter, James Remar, and David Zayas being standouts.

Despite often being imitated, no other show can really replicateDexter, aside fromOriginal Sin.

Nothing can beat the originalDexter, except for more shows following the titular serial killer.
