The Sinner is an American police procedural anthology television series developed by Derek Simonds for USA Network. It is named after Petra Hammesfahr's 1999 novel, which serves as the basis for the first season. Bill Pullman stars as a police detective who investigates crimes committed by unlikely culprits and attempts to uncover their motivations. Only Pullman appears in every season, with the rest of the cast changing for each season's story.

Originally intended as an eight-part miniseries, The Sinner premiered on August 2, 2017, to critical acclaim and high ratings. The show's success led to USA Network turning it into an anthology series, with a second season airing in 2018 and a third in 2020. A fourth season has also been ordered which is set to premiere on October 13, 2021.

The first season of The Sinner received nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Miniseries or Television Film and Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film for Jessica Biel. Biel was also nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.

Premise[]

In the first season, Detective Harry Ambrose delves into the past of Cora Tannetti, a troubled woman, to determine why she stabbed a man to death.

In the second season, Ambrose returns to his hometown after a young boy named Julian Walker confesses to poisoning a couple and learns secrets that the inhabitants are determined to keep buried.

In the third season, Ambrose investigates a fatal car accident in Upstate New York and uncovers a much larger and disturbing case behind it.[1]

In the upcoming fourth season, the now-retired Ambrose travels to northern Maine to recover from the previous case. A tragedy occurs there involving the daughter of a prominent family, and he is recruited to help the investigation.[2]

All of the doctors whose licenses were fraudulently used by J. D. were colleagues of Dr. Patrick Belmont, Frankie's father. The body found in the woods is confirmed as Phoebe, disposed of by J. D. and Dr. Belmont. Harry takes Cora to the Belmont house, where she remembers the remaining events. Unable to kill Cora, Dr. Belmont held her captive for two months in the wallpapered room, giving her drugs to prevent her from remembering and hiding his identity with the mask. J. D. blackmailed Dr. Belmont to support his opioid ring. Cora's sentence is reduced due to extreme emotional disturbance. The judge orders her transfer from prison to a psychiatric facility where her case will be reviewed every two years until she is deemed fit to be released when she will not be of harm to herself or others.

91"Part I"Antonio CamposDerek SimondsAugust 1, 2018 (2018-08-01)1.15[24]
After almost 15 years, Detective Harry Ambrose returns to his hometown of Keller, Upstate New York, to help investigate a double murder with Heather Novack, an old acquaintance's daughter who has just made detective. A couple was found dead, apparently poisoned, in a motel room. The man is identified as Adam Lowry, but the woman has no ID. Their 13-year-old son, Julian, tells the police they were on their way to Niagara Falls when their car broke down. After Harry notices Julian has a rash, he admits he used jimson weed to poison his parents' tea — but won't say why. Harry asks the DA's office for more time before arresting Julian. No identification can be found for Julian's mother, and Harry realizes that, among all the luggage, there is not a single item related to Julian. At his foster home, Julian has flashbacks of a woman, apparently his therapist. The same woman later appears in the police station claiming to be Julian's birth mother.
102"Part II"Antonio CamposEllen FaireyAugust 8, 2018 (2018-08-08)1.10[25]
Vera Walker, who claims to be Julian's mother, says that Adam and Bess (the second victim) lived with her and helped watch Julian and were taking him to Niagara Falls. Heather is shocked to hear that Vera lives at Mosswood Grove, a notorious "utopian" commune near Keller. Flashbacks reveal that Heather and her girlfriend, Marin, snuck onto Mosswood out of curiosity. In the present, Vera visits Julian and whispers intensely in his ear; he changes his story and claims no memory of making the poisoned tea. Vera shows Julian's birth certificate in court, but, with no record of residency, is denied guardianship. After Harry reveals to Julian that he was also in a foster home, Julian shares his nightmares of a hooded figure visiting him. Police search Mosswood, where they learn that Julian was the only child there. Harry deduces that Adam and Bess were actually fleeing from the commune and getting Julian out. Heather spots a ponytailed man she also saw at the motel following the murders. Plagued by memories of Marin going into a large outbuilding on the property, Heather now sneaks into the building and finds a large stone column.
113"Part III"John David ColesBradford WintersAugust 15, 2018 (2018-08-15)1.01[26]
Julian is arrested and sent to a juvenile detention center, awaiting to be tried as an adult for second-degree murder. After Harry tells Vera that Julian will undergo a psychological evaluation, she tells Harry that Adam and Bess abducted Julian and that Julian "defended himself." Julian admits that he liked Bess more but died because she lied, which causes one to be "split in two." Meanwhile, Heather collects a box of Marin's belongings from her mother and finds a book inside with the name "Julian" circled throughout. She deduces that Marin was Julian's biological mother. Heather and Harry talk to Dr. Poole, an obstetrician who handled Mosswood births, but Poole steps out of the room and kills himself; a miniature stone column is found in his attic.
124"Part IV"Jody Lee LipesJesse McKeownAugust 22, 2018 (2018-08-22)1.09[27]
A journal from Poole's attic bears an emblem, and a passage mentions entering the "labyrinth." Currently institutionalized, a woman is the only connection between Mosswood and Poole through a dropped malpractice lawsuit. She mentions "The Beacon," the founder of Mosswood. Heather's father Jack draws a tattoo that he recalls seeing on Marin's wrist. The tattoo matches the emblem (the labyrinth), which leads Heather to discover "The Beacon" is disgraced psychotherapist Lionel Jeffries and that Marin was present during his group Mosswood meeting. Vera plays Harry a recording of Bess's therapy. He requests a session, and she leads him into the woods but abandons him. He finds her in a cabin that Jeffries once used as an office. Harry's "session" results in him blacking out and waking in the same motel room where the murders occurred.
135"Part V"Cherien DabisSamir MehtaAugust 29, 2018 (2018-08-29)1.14[28]
After learning that he willingly checked himself into the motel, Harry is vague in answering Heather's questions about his visit with Vera. He later breaks into Mosswoodian Glen Fisher's house to find a photo connecting his family to the stone column. At Julian's arraignment, his lawyer enters a not-guilty plea. Julian gets into a fight in jail and is put in isolation, where he tells Harry that his nightmare visitor, two weeks prior, was actually real. Vera later asks Harry to be a material witness for Julian; as a reward, she confirms that she is not Julian's mother. Chief Liddell removes Harry from the seemingly closed case, and Jack later shuns Harry for suspecting a town-wide cover-up. Marin cuts ties with Heather in a flashback, becomes a Mosswood member, and reveals she is pregnant to Vera. Vera tells her that babies cannot be a part of the commune, but Jeffries allows it, just this once.
146"Part VI"Brad AndersonNina BraddockSeptember 5, 2018 (2018-09-05)1.13[29]
Harry learns that he is being followed and manages to find the malpractice suit's missing video. He sends a copy to Heather and shows it to Vera, causing her to recall and relate previous Mosswood events. Julian's birth is shown, but he rejects being breastfed by Marin as Vera has also been doing it. Vera realizes the "work" done in the Mosswood sessions are forms of abuse. Jeffries takes Julian from her and retreats to his cabin. In the present, Heather has a dive team to search a lake mentioned in the video; a woman's corpse is found there. Harry forces the DA, who was bribed to bury the malpractice suit, to change Julian's murder charge to manslaughter. Julian is returned to the orphanage, and despite Harry's reassurance that the hooded figure is a manifestation of guilt, Julian is later seemingly abducted by it.

She had asked Adam and Bess to bring Julian to her at Niagara Falls, but they were murdered. After convincing Julian that she is his mother and armed with a gun, Marin intends to drive him into Canada to meet someone. Harry deduces her crossing point, but he and Heather find her shot dead, and Julian is still missing.
168"Part VIII"John David ColesBradford WintersSeptember 19, 2018 (2018-09-19)1.13[31]

In Keller, Harry learns of documents of a regular sizeable monthly payment via a shell corporation to Vera at Mosswood over 10 years. Heather finds a motel room key in Jack's laundry at home, the same motel where Marin was shot. Both detectives question Jack, but he refuses to answer with Heather present. He confesses to accidentally shooting Marin with her own gun after she called asking for money and he saw that she was unstable. He also admits to being Julian's father after he raped Marin following her drunken argument with Heather. Julian calls Harry to inform him of Vera's plan; Harry tells him that it is solely his choice to go or stay. Harry traces the call, as Julian tearfully refuses to go with Vera. They are returned to Keller, and Julian's trial resumes. Harry vouches for him, and he is placed in a rehabilitation home for four years. Vera is not charged, and she torches the Mosswood therapy recordings and the barn that houses the stone column. Vera returns Harry's therapy recording to him, wherein Harry admits resentment regarding Vera's close relationship with Julian as he didn't have one with his own mother. Harry and Heather finally take Julian to Niagara Falls, as Vera touches the stone column in the building's ashes.

Production[]

Development[]

The series, described as a "close-ended series"[42] by the network, was adapted from the novel of the same name by Petra Hammesfahr; however, the book's darker outlook was toned down and the location shifted from Germany to Upstate New York in the United States.[43] It is the first time that Biel has served as an executive producer on a series, a role she said was "gold".[44] Biel stated that she moved into production so that she could develop projects with challenging and interesting roles rather than wait for them to happen.[45]

The series was ordered on January 17, 2017,[46] and the eight episodes were broadcast on USA Network between August 2 and September 20, 2017.[47] Originally, the series was created as a miniseries; however, in March 2018, it was announced that The Sinner would return for a second season.[48] The second season premiered on August 1, 2018, comprised eight episodes and concluded on September 19, 2018.[49][50] On March 6, 2019, USA Network renewed the series for a third season.[1][51] which premiered on February 6, 2020.[52][53] On June 15, 2020, USA renewed the series for a fourth season which is scheduled to premiere on October 13, 2021.[54][55]

Music[]

The main song featured in the first-season storyline is "Huggin and Kissin" by Big Black Delta.[56]

Casting[]

In May 2018, Carrie Coon, Natalie Paul and Hannah Gross were cast for the second season as Vera, Heather and Marin respectively.[7] With the announcement of the third season renewal, it was announced that Matt Bomer would star in the third season.[1] On August 16, 2019, Jessica Hecht, Parisa Fitz-Henley, and Eddie Martinez were cast in starring roles for the third season.[4] On March 17, 2021, Alice Kremelberg was cast for the fourth season as Percy Muldoon, a member of a fishing family who faces a tragedy.[9] On April 21, 2021, Michael Mosley joined the cast as a new series regular for the fourth season.[2] On June 9, 2021, Cindy Cheung, Ronin Wong, and Neal Huff were cast as series regulars for the fourth season.[10]

Filming locations[]

The series is primarily filmed in New York state; various towns were used in the first season to depict the fictional Dorchester in New York. The exterior of the Mt. Pleasant Justice Court building in Valhalla, New York, was used for the Dorchester police building.[57]

The fictional Beverwyck Club in the first season was filmed at the Belvedere Estate, a private residence surrounded by forest in Tarrytown, New York.[58] The production used some of the rooms, the basement, the Agora House building, and the wooded area on the property.[59] Some filming for the first season was also completed in Summerville, South Carolina, and in North Charleston, South Carolina. [60] The county jail scenes were filmed at the former county detention center in St. George, South Carolina, 30 miles from Summerville. At that time, the first episode was still considered to be the pilot for the series.[61]

The hamlet of Purchase, New York, was used to film "a sizeable chunk" of the second season; one location is the Cobble Stone Restaurant. The Pier 701 Restaurant & Bar in the village of Piermont, New York, was used for some filming in the first season.[62][63] Some filming was completed at Prospect Point in Niagara Falls, New York; Bill Pullman was included in those scenes.[64]

In the third season, Dorchester is specified as being "by the Hudson River in Somerset County".[65] The third season was mainly filmed in New York State, especially in the town of Hartsdale, New York, in Westchester County.[66] Some filming for the third season was completed at the Hartsdale train station, rebranded as Dorchester. Crews were also filming in summer 2019 at Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, at the Found Herbal Apothecary Herb shop, and at the Hastings Center Diner. A car chase was shot in Queens, New York, and scenes set at the fictional Briarton school were shot at the Synod of Bishops Russian Church on East 93rd Street. Other New York City locations included the STK Midtown Steakhouse and the City College of New York, both in Manhattan.[67][68]

The fourth season is scheduled to begin filming in late April 2021 in Nova Scotia.[9]

Reception[]

Critical response[]

Season 1[]

The season received critical acclaim, with Biel's performance being praised. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 90% based on 41 reviews, with an average rating of 6.6/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Smartly unpredictable and led by powerful performances from a talented cast, the darkly compelling The Sinner sinks its hooks in fast and doesn't let go."[69] Metacritic, which assigns a rating to reviews, gave the series an average weighted score of 71 out of 100, based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[70] It was the number one new cable series of 2017, according to Nielsen delayed viewing data.[71]

Season 2[]

A 97% approval rating for the second season was reported by Rotten Tomatoes, with an average rating of 7.54/10 based on 33 reviews, and a critical consensus reading, "In its second season, The Sinner establishes itself as an engrossing why-dunnit thriller series with staying power."[72] Metacritic assigned a score of 75 out of 100 based on 16 critics for the second season, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[73]

Once again praising the writing and performances, several critics noted that the follow-up season surpassed expectations, as star Jessica Biel's character did not return from the first season.

Alex McLevy of The A.V. Club wrote a rave review of the first few episodes, in particular the performance of Carrie Coon as the mysterious Vera Walker. McLevy wrote that the second season could be even better than the first, noting,

"Two things keep it from feeling like a rehash of season one: the excellent choices in new narrative twists made by writer-creator Derek Simonds, and the caliber of talent involved in bringing it to life. Chief among the latter group is Carrie Coon, who ... brings a wonderful fusion of frazzled humanism and sinister duplicity to the part, another magnetic performance by the actor that elevates the material and lends gravitas to some of the more daffily implausible turns."[74]

Ben Travers of indieWire wrote,

"Derek Simonds assembled a helluva team for an intriguing follow-up season. The first three episodes of Season 2 match the tone and intensity of the writer's gripping debut, while new cast members Tracy Letts, Natalie Paul, and Carrie Coon more than make up for any holes left by the original cast. ... Season 2 has enough going on it could spin off the rails, but the mere fact it has so much working for it thus far is a big win for everyone involved. The Sinner is no one-hit wonder."[75]

Season 3[]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 85% with an average rating of 7.28/10 based on 13 reviews.[76] Metacritic has assigned a score of 81 out of 100 based on five critics for the third season, indicating "universal acclaim".[77]
