    Más enredada y entreverada que la primera, múltiples historias que sucedieron en un mismo lugar, una actuación impecable del elenco y un guión que alcanza su máximo esplendor a mitad de temporada. Sin duda para mi mejoro la formula de la 1 era temporada, altamente recomendable.

    La primer temporada me gustó más, pero está sigue siendo muy buena con una enredada historia y algunos plot-twist grandiosos, quizás un poco predecibles, pero grandiosos al fin.

    The second season is no where near as good as the first, but it continues to have enough twists and turns to keep me interested.

    The actors are great and the plot is interesting. Notwithstanding, the last seasons protagonist left a huge void that could not be filled. Although is not as good as the first season and sometimes can be a little bit slow, dull and predictable, i recommend it if you like the genre.

    A really solid follow up series of this show. Pullman again is fantastic as is the writing.

    Not that strong as season 1 but still very good and also with some great twists. Pullman had found his fitting place with this show

    Not as good as the first season. But not as bad as the third season. Still kept me trying to figure out what the heck happened while watching.

    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]
