Simonds manages to craft a fresh and unusual story with which to fill in the parameters of the series’ framework.
One of the greatest strengths of this season is its confidence in the compelling nature of the story itself to carry the day. Under the supervision of showrunner Derek Simonds, who also wrote the first episode, The Sinner takes twists and turns but is neither flashy nor heavy-handed. It’s straightforward, smart, and doesn’t condescend to its audience.

Más enredada y entreverada que la primera, múltiples historias que sucedieron en un mismo lugar, una actuación impecable del elenco y un guión que alcanza su máximo esplendor a mitad de temporada. Sin duda para mi mejoro la formula de la 1 era temporada, altamente recomendable.

SEASON 2
Not that strong as season 1 but still very good and also with some great twists. Pullman had found his fitting place with this show

SEASON 2
Harry remains something of an inscrutable protagonist. It’s a credit to Pullman’s charisma (and his ability to infuse the character with an innate goodness) that such impenetrability isn’t alienating but, on the contrary, captivating. ... Alongside the sturdy Paul and disturbing Henig, they more than ably justify The Sinner’s continued existence--and help make it a late-summer saga of unconventional, and unnerving, thrills.
The plot twists are absurd, but the fine cast shimmers. [3 Aug 2018, p.53]
[Bill Pullman as Detective Harry Ambrose is] not a great performance, but with its introductory quirks somewhat reduced, it's a sturdy and inquisitive one, allowing the new figures in the story to attract his attention and that of the viewers. Paul is comparably meant to be more solid than exciting. ... Coon is perfectly enigmatic, not quite the season's villain and yet utterly unsettling.
Skeletons from Harrry's past further rattle his composure in an atmospheric tale that might be just the thing for those who find HBO's similarly unnerving Sharp Objects too pokey. [23 Jul - 5 Aug 2018, p.11]
While this new batch of episodes isn’t exactly a laugh riot, it’s weirder than its predecessor, and not just because Henig has an unnerving, wide-eyed stillness that serves the early episodes well.
The first season was so completely amazing, but this second season was such a disappointment. After receiving a call from a friends daughter, Harry goes back to his hometown to help investigate a double homicide. It started out with lots of promise, but ended up with so many holes that the end result was unbelievable. There were at least 6 different things that weren't explained and it was as though the writer/director/producer put these things in there to confuse anyone watching.
By the end, this series seemed like one of those books with an unreliable narrator. From the 3rd episode on, you can't believe what the film maker is leading you to believe. I don't want to recommend it because the ending was such a letdown. It gets a 4 out of 10 for acting and for production values.

SEASON 2
Season 1 was at least compelling to watch because it toyed rather adroitly with our mind in its first episodes. The acting was also very good.
Season 2 is way too **** predictable after episode 3. The usual tropes of the community hiding a big secret, the new-age sect etc etc... are nothing new.
And Bill Pullman seems to need a dentist in every episode.
