The Sinner (2017)
2 Out of 3 = 66% Good
First 2 Seasons were great. 9 out of 10 for them. Watch them!
My wife and I were so looking forward to Season 3. It is awful.
I really like Bill Pullman, but overacting with suspiciously twitchy eyes is unbearable to watch. I routinely looked away to avoid seeing his expressions.
Season 3 could have been condensed to 2 episodes if they got to the point. Endless lengthy scenes with silences, protracted conversation only to conclude "I know he did it!" We all knew anyway!
Conclusion - Season 3 is 1 out of 10. Do not watch it! Get a life,
Small Town Crime: Crime and Character (2018)
There's always a time and a place to do the right thing.
An unexpected gem!
Ex-cop has become a drunk and waster. Content with being unemployed and drinking with his adopted sister's husband. After a heavy session he wakes up in his car outside of town. On driving back he sees an injured girl by the roadside. He takes her to hospital and gets questioned by his ex- cop colleagues. From this point the energy and tension ramp up. He attempts to find out why the girl was injured. He moves into the underworld in which he used to work. Pimps and hitmen are unforgiving but they are up against someone who wants to do the right thing., while fighting his past. The storyline is uncomplicated but intriguing. The acting by all leading protagonists is first class, particularly John Hawkes, the wasted ex-cop.
Worth watching!
