The Sinner

An interesting original crime mystery in which Jessica Biel gets the chance to show her acting weapons. The story in intriguing from the beginning. A woman spends a family breakout at a lake and out of nowhere stabs a guy in public... The case seems clear but a police detective thinks there is more behind it. Biel is very good in the leading role but in my opinion it was Bill Pullman who stole the show. Although I question some attributes about his character, the way it was written etc, he really was able to bring a lot of personalty and sympathy to it. A great and underrated performance. Another wonderful turn of the show was done by Nadia Alexander who shall have a great future. She reminds me on a young Amy Adams. Wonderful performance. The rest of the cast is solid as well, there is actually not one bad performance. Some characters are either stereotype or weirdly written, but in the end it works for most of the part. The film had some really good twists. Actually half way through it, almost each episode has a twist. And I liked how the first episodes actually created some false traps and leads which they made the audience believe .. sometimes quite subtle. A good show for audiences that enjoy a good crime/mystery story.

"Harry" keeps doing idiotic things. It's distracting. And Pullman's mannerisms have become far too exaggerated. This newest season feels like a mimic of NBC's "Hannibal."

I like the previous two runs.

But THIS one? In each episode, Harry just screws up. I realize, obviously, that the plot is intentional. But it's impossible to become "invested" with a character who acts illogically at almost every turn.

And it's not just Harry. I just keep thinking to myself, "Hey, that person would NEVER do that!" And I'm not discussing "Jamie," who is unbalanced.

Jessica Biel was the perfect choice, the first season is amazing. I loved it. The second was enjoyable as well. However I felt like there's a hole, somehow could've been better. And the third season is okay. Not more. I wouldn't rewatch it. Shame. I was really excited about it.

I watched seasons 1 & 2 in a matter of days. I loved the show and thought it was a great treasure. I was so excited when season 3 came out. I don't know if there are new writers or what changed, but this season was just simply unbearable to watch.

I ended up having it on to finish the story but literally looked for household chores to do during the episodes as that was more exciting. So disappointed. I hope if there is a season 4 it gets back on track.

I don't do many reviews on here. Usually only if something is extraordinary or horrible. This show had me on the edge of my seat the whole season from start to finish! Jessica biel has always been a good actress, but her performance in this blew me away! Hope she does more dramas like this in the future.. she's a natural.
