      Season 1 – The Sinner

      2017 Crime Drama Mystery & Thriller List
      91% Tomatometer 44 Reviews 87% Audience Score 2,500+ Ratings 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.

      Stuart Heritage Guardian But the joy of The Sinner is getting to watch Biel do everything in her power to just get the ordeal over with. Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Johanna Schneller Toronto Star This series is not a whodunit; it's a why'd-she-do-it. It's such a clever conceit it leaves you asking why, too: Why hasn't this been done more often? Aug 30, 2017 Full Review Molly Fitzpatrick Entertainment Weekly Cora's is a peaceful, predictable existence, if a suffocating one: It's like Everybody Loves Raymond moved to upstate New York - minus the jokes, plus what seems like serious, untreated depression on its protagonist's part. Rated: B- Aug 29, 2017 Full Review Mark Serrels CNET The Sinner's first season, as a standalone, is as good as it gets. If you're looking for a murder mystery to sustain your dark impulses and drag you kicking and screaming from start to finish, look no further. Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound It is a dark series with very little light to speak of. What does shine through is the acting of Jessica Biel. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Alix Turner Ready Steady Cut The Sinner is an American crime drama focusing on a young woman (Jessica Biel) who commits a seemingly inexplicable crime and the detective (Bill Pullman) who works hard to explain it.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Olivia K Absolutely spellbinding. Excellent acting and plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Gareth v Well written, mysterious detective crime series. Biel (arguably her best work) and Pullman are fantastic and really lift this show. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review Juliana C Es muy buena la primera temporada. Las otras seguidas fueron bajando calidad y para mí es innecesario la vida amorosa del detective a medida que avanza la serie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
