Storyline
The Sinner follows a young mother who, when overcome by an inexplicable fit of rage, commits a startling act of violence and to her horror has no idea why. The event launches an inverted and utterly surprising crime thriller whose driving force is not the "who" or the "what" -- but the "why" -- as an investigator finds himself obsessed with uncovering the woman's buried motive. Together they travel a harrowing journey into the depths of her psyche and the violent secrets hidden in her past. —ahmetkozan

- TriviaOriginally 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.

Loved seasons 1 and 2 - season 3 was such a disappointment - what happened?
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.
