Sep 22, 2018Season 1 was at least compelling to watch because it toyed rather adroitly with our mind in its first episodes. The acting was also very good.
Season 2 is way too slow...and predictable after episode 3. The usual tropes of the community hiding a big secret, the new-age sect etc etc... are nothing new.
And Bill Pullman seems to need a dentist in every episode.

The Sinner is the Los Angeles Lakers and Carrie Coon is LeBron James.

One of the greatest strengths of this season is its confidence in the compelling nature of the story itself to carry the day. Under the supervision of showrunner Derek Simonds, who also wrote the first episode, The Sinner takes twists and turns but is neither flashy nor heavy-handed. It’s straightforward, smart, and doesn’t condescend to its audience.

Too much of what Season 2 presents feels dully familiar, less playing with genre tropes than serving them back up, reheated. ... But the show is anchored by performers who engage even when the enterprise threatens to fall apart. Bill Pullman returns as Harry Ambrose, a detective whose deep wells of angst help him to read situations other cops can't fathom. His saltiness and Coon's smug disregard make for a potent combination, one that deserved a richer premise. [24 Jul 2018, p.65]
