    Add on a thin veneer of mysticism and you have a missing persons story that isn’t revolutionary, but one that throws off convention by just enough degrees to make it worth checking out. “The Sinner” was never just about the answers. Now, more than ever, the man asking the questions has become the show’s biggest draw.

    Still not as good as the 1st season. But a breath of fresh air after the 3rd season. Hoping they make a season 5 that's as compelling as season 1...

    The strongest season since it's debut season and fine way to bow out.
    The strength of this season lies in the performance of Bill Pullman as Harry, a deeply flawed man who struggles not only with the crime he is investigating but his own personal demons.
