More Critic Reviews for The Sinner Season 1 All Critics (41) | Top Critics (17) | Fresh (37) | Rotten (4) The television version of a page-turner, as you inch forward in your seat, waiting to see where it goes next. Jul 31, 2017 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic It's anything but breezy entertainment on a network where ill winds now blow. Even so, Pullman and Biel are solidly in charge of their pivotal roles. Jul 21, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic [Given] Biel's committed, evocative turn, and the sure-handed direction of Antonio Campos, our interest is piqued enough to dig deeper. Apr 28, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic My beef is that no matter how watchable it is -- and it is: slickly shot, nicely edgy ambient score, all manner of unexpected twists and turns -- you do feel a bit sullied and exploited afterwards. Dec 18, 2018 | Full Review… James Delingpole The Spectator Crucially, this first season wasn't very good, its intriguing storyline gradually undone by revelations and plot twists that, for me anyway, became increasingly far-fetched. Dec 12, 2018 | Full Review… John Boland Irish Independent The Sinner played the sneaky but satisfying trick of leading the viewer towards what they thought were obvious answers, only to open up a new path at the last minute. Dec 10, 2018 | Full Review… Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) This first season is essential viewing for crime fans who like their horses dark and their waters still. Dec 3, 2018 | Full Review… Victoria Segal Sunday Times (UK) Really, it's only so damn good because of Biel. You won't see her in the same light again. Nov 16, 2018 | Full Review… Gem Seddon SFX Magazine In eight episodes, what the show did well was to establish a running sense of dread, set up questions that got answered -- sort of -- but set up new questions, until even the finest mystery buffs had to be scratching their heads in confusion. Aug 13, 2018 | Full Review… Diane Pershing Malibu Times After one episode, you'll happily want to skip the beach to stay home and watch the show you can't help but become obsessed with.
