The Sinner is a crime drama that aired for four seasons. Each season, the storylines change and include a mostly new cast. Bill Pullman, who played a police detective named Harry Ambrose, is the only character who appears in every season. The 8-episode first season aired during the summer and fall of 2017. The first season starred Jessica Biel, Christopher Abbott, Jacob Pitts, Nadia Alexander, Enid Graham, and C.J. Wilson. Writing an in-depth review of the show without giving away too much is nearly impossible. The basic story in the first season is that a wife and mother named Cora (played by Jessica Biel) kills a seemingly random stranger while on a family outing at the beach, but she has no idea who the person is or why she did what she did. Harry Ambrose suspects there is more to the story and begins investigating Cora's past to try and figure out what drove her to kill a stranger. Needless to say, there is more to the story, which is revealed in parts throughout the eight episodes (via flashbacks), with many twists and reveals.
The Blu-Ray set is a four-disc set. The set is basically a MOD set, although there are a few minutes of deleted scenes on the second disc and no captions. The show does have a lot of swearing, drug use, and sexual content in it. While there is no overt nudity, it still pushes the bounds of what can be shown on basic cable. So, it is not very family-friendly. The story is well-written and well-acted, with Biel and Pullman doing great jobs in the leading roles. The supporting cast, especially Jacob Pitts, is excellent is well. The story is told well throughout the limited number of episodes and never feels too slow or too rushed. It is not a show that will appeal to everyone, but it is definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a good adult drama.
