View Details 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 But the joy of The Sinner is getting to watch Biel do everything in her power to just get the ordeal over with. Nov 9, 2017 | Full Review… Stuart Heritage Guardian 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. Dec 19, 2017 | Full Review… Lea Palmieri Decider A woman's dark past leads to a sudden, bloody murder. Aug 8, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Joyce Slaton Common Sense Media View All Critic Reviews (41) Audience Reviews for The Sinner: Season 1 Sep 07, 2020 It started pretty good but then I think it got a bit silly. All in all it's still ok, I'll give the second season a chance. Raphael C Sep 07, 2020 Loved the style and format of how the story evolved. Remember being infuriated at how many unprofessional and downright wrong circumstances Ambrose got himself in to... But, enjoyed the story and the twists to it David C Aug 29, 2020 Fine, not a bad cop show, detective lets the case solves itself Flo L Aug 23, 2020 I couldn't stop watching. Excellent. Dick P Aug 19, 2020 Bill Pullman makes you feel uncomfortable through his awkward acting as character Harry Ambrose, but his intelligence makes the series very addictive. Unsure where it might take you, the show ensures you binge-watch the lot in one go. It is too hard to leave midway through the series. Lee J Jul 10, 2020 Keeps you guessing and ends with a satisfying finale. Alexandra M Jul 09, 2020 I normally like detective shows but this was unable to maintain the suspension of my disbelief. The ice was getting thinner and thinner until at episode 6 it finally broke and I couldn't continue watching: The script/ plot became totally nonsensical. monty w Jul 09, 2020 The acting, the plot, the twists, the suspense and emotional rollercoaster. This is up there with the greats! Matthew P Jul 08, 2020 I cannot find the words - everything from script to directing to acting, this show is fantastic. Rhianna J Jul 07, 2020 Outstanding TV series, reminds me of "True Detective". Great performances.
