Detective Harry Ambrose investigates a chilling new homicide each season. He employs some unusual tactics and a deep capacity for empathy to solve his cases. His boundless dedication is driven by his dark past, leading him into powerful and often dangerously intimate bonds with his suspects. "The Sinner" is a blend of a thrilling murder investigation and raw character drama, creating an electrifying ride with standout performances. The series was originally adapted from the novel of the same name by Petra Hammesfahr; however, the book's darker outlook was toned down, and the location was shifted from Germany to Upstate New York.

Subsequent seasons of The Sinner never quite hit the same heights. Its second run was solid, but I wouldn't recommend the show beyond that. Go to Full Review Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk 11/25/2019

Joy C @RT91266761 2d The series is light, fairly enjoyable rash TV. Engaging enough if you have nothing else on the list. Pullman is irritatingly one-note. Seasons are easily two episodes longer than they need to be, but it's good for an easy-night binge that doesn't require too much of the viewer. This season was better than the first and offers some genuine twists. It's still asking a lot of the audience to take a series based on mystery and drama and have it center around a character with an extremely limited range of personality and expression. See more Brady R @BRICE24 Dec 11 Not as good as season 1 bit still recommend. There were some unanswered questions about Mosswood thay never got answered. Also why did Julian's mother change like every episode See more Raquel E @raquelea Sep 13 While still atmospheric and eerie, this season feels less impactful. The core mystery lacks the emotional pull of the first, and the pacing falters at times. Some themes are compelling, but the overall execution doesn’t match the intensity or depth of season 1. See more Gerry F @RT38281645 Sep 5 This is a dour dull and dreadfully slow series. Plot less than credible. Some terrible acting and even worse script. Kid is a good actor but annoying. Wouldn't recommend this to my enemies. Dreadful stuff. 1 star is generous. See more Laurence S @Lazza Aug 31 Awesome TV. Pullman is twisted and brilliant. See more Jackson M @Nshvlleindie Jun 9 S2 definitely lacks the punch and shock that S1 was able to pull off so well. There's definitely an interesting mystery to sink your teeth into, and the cast is just as terrific in the second season. 100% worth a watch. You're never going to match a season that was perfect to begin with, so don't look down on S2 too much if it's not evoking the same emotions as before. See more Read all reviews
