Hi just started watching Dexter original sin after watching Dexter New blood I like the show but I am struggling to understand the flash backs as I don't think the writers of the show have watched Dexter as the continuity doesn't add up with the already established timeline like Dexter's dad meeting up with Dexter mum for the first time. Dexter's dad sees Dexter's mum and she introduces harry to her 2 kids Brian and Dexter who both look old compared to there original age as they look 6 - 7 years old which makes no sense as In the original show Dexter really young like a toddler in shipment crate when he found by harry! Also Dexter is Harry's kid as Harry is the biological father so how on earth can harry meet the parent for the first time and Dexter already exists when they haven't even met or done the deed together yet and also Dexter looks old. So I am enjoying the show so far but I hate the writing continuity is so bad as it doesn't match with the original establishment story just saying. Did anyone else notice this problem?

Note 1. I'm a big fan of Dexter such a greatly written show and i just finished watching Dexter New blood I loved the chemistry being trialed against and with each other with Harrison and Dexter!

I didn't like it however that Dexter managed to easily break his code of killing Coach. As in the original Dexter he really struggled to kill Dokes and was originally gonna turn himself in until his physio girlfriend blew Dokes up. I know Dexters character has come a long way since season 2 but I didn't quite understand why he would break his code unless it was just down to slightly lazy writing. Or either it's maybe because he was trying to be with Harrison and be a protective father but I don't think it worked as a good character choice for him.

Note 2 . Also side note I recently just watched sweeny Todd the musical for the first time ever omg such a great musical and after watching the show it made me think and wonder if Dexter could be a musical as sweeny Todd works really well as a gory fun musical and with a great sound track and was wondering how and what Dexter would look like a musical show with the pre recorded inner monologues done by each Dexter actor so it plays on stage during the show when Dexter talking to himself and the audience can hear him. How do you reckon this would look /be set up as a musical and would u go to watch it and what would u like to see in it?
