Here's a list of some highlights [spoilers ahead .... ]
1. Dexter losing his virginity in that men's room, after Sofia follows him in. The truth is, Dexter's romantic relationships in all the series are very well done highlights (though I guess it's stretching things a bit to call Dexter and Sofia's relationship romantic, at least from Dexter's point of view).
2. Speaking of "romance," Harry being torn between his wife and Dexter's mother Laura is one fine piece of drama, too. The writing and the acting in the scenes with Harry (Christian Slater) and Laura (Brittany Allen) are top-notch, too.
3. Speaking of acting, Patrick Gibson as young Dexter is outstanding. He both inhabits and is growing into the Dexter we've come to know via Michael C. Hall just perfectly. (This of course is helped by Hall's voice saying the right things, with the right tone of voice.)
4. For that matter, Captain Spencer's story vis-a-vis his kidnapped son and his former wife is a powerful piece of narrative, and it's good to see Patrick Dempsey branching out from Grey's Anatomy (which I don't watch anyway -- I only know the actor because my wife is such a devotee of the hospital drama).
What I'm saying is these and just about every other aspect of Dexter: Original Sin are riveting television, and one of the reasons all of the Dexters have been right up there with The Sopranos and The Wire.
