The finale showcased familiar music by Daniel Licht, complemented by additional tracks.
Warning: Spoilers Ahead for Dexter: Original Sin Season 1, Episode 10.
The highly anticipated Dexter prequel series has officially wrapped up its first season after a thrilling two-month run on Paramount+ with Showtime. Packed with unexpected twists, shocking revelations, and countless Easter eggs, this season kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Season 1 Finale: "Code Blues"
The final episode, Code Blues, provided long-awaited answers about Brian Moser's transformation into the NHI Killer. His choice of victims was deeply personal, driven by motives of revenge rather than randomness.
One of the episode's standout moments was the intense showdown between Aaron Spencer and Dexter. This confrontation culminated in Dexter executing a kill aboard his boat—a scene reminiscent of Clint McKay’s murder (Hannah’s father) in Season 7, Episode 10 of the original Dexter series.
The Evolution of the Soundtrack
As the season progressed, fans noticed a gradual reduction in original series composer Daniel Licht’s music, with the previous episode featuring almost no licensed songs or Licht’s signature tracks.
Composer Pat Irwin, who stepped in after the passing of Daniel Licht, delivered a remarkable score for the prequel. Fans are now eagerly awaiting news on the official Dexter: Original Sin soundtrack release, which may even include previously unreleased Daniel Licht compositions.
Every Recognizable Song from the Season 1 Finale
While Episode 10 featured fewer musical tracks than earlier episodes, it cleverly reused two previously licensed songs, making for a nostalgic experience for longtime fans.
