Review of Part I

The Sinner: Part I (2020)
Season 3, Episode 1
5/10
Lacks the grip of the first episodes of seasons 1 & 2

Warning: Spoilers
I enjoyed season 1. Season 2 was also good. I really wanted to continue with those seasons after the first episode to find out why the characters had committed such serious crimes. I just don't feel the same about season 3.

The concept of The Sinner is fundamentally flawed. I really don't think any police department in the US would pay for an investigation into something that looked so much like an accident, or a "smoking gun" murder, for that matter. But it makes for good TV to have a detective striving to find the truth, with seemingly no other work to do!

I will persevere with season 3, but I feel far from gripped.
