    • Trivia
      Originally developed as a one-season 'limited TV series', however, USA Network was so pleased with the ratings, they wanted the writers/producers to develop a season 2. Although still considered a 'limited series', it has morphed into an 'anthology series'. Bill Pullman's detective character from season 1 returns, along with a new mystery to solve, and primarily new cast. Jessica Biel is an executive producer.

    When seemingly normal people do brutal things
    "The Sinner" is (so far) a three-part series asking what drives people to commit murder. Each story is 8 parts.

    The first one stars Jessica Biel as a married woman, mother of one, who goes to the beach one day and stabs someone to death nearby. A police detective, Harry Ambrose (Bill Pullman) becomes interested in the case and works to find out what happened.

    The episode will have you on the edge of your seat, as there is one surprise after another, leading to its shocking conclusion.

    The second series concerns a young boy who, while he is in a motel with his parents, poisons them. Again, Harry Ambrose becomes involved, determined to find out the boy's motivation. Though this series of episodes isn't quite as good as the previous, it's still terrific and again, will really have you guessing.

    Then we come to the third series. Every review you will read will tell you to skip it. Just one problem. No one who says "skip it" happens to mention that it stars the gorgeous Matt Bomer. I wouldn't have cared if he read the phone book for the entire episode, I would have watched it.

    However, it is absurd. A real let-down from the previous stories.

    I am not sure if Bill Pullman is good or not. He plays a pretty wacky guy and basically has one expression, kind of a half-smile, throughout all of the episodes. Frankly I found his personal life somewhat of an intrusion, as those details were unneeded.

    Highly recommended, one of the best things I've seen, with the exception of the third story. But, hey, it stars Matt Bomer.
