*No spoilers just a summary and my thoughts on the show so far*

I just finished binging 'The Sinner' on Netflix. Now before everyone freaks out, there are only eight episodes in season one and the episodes are about 40ish minutes long (Netflix doesn't have season 2, yet.) Rumor has it that Hulu has season 2 but I'd have to pay for the HBO channel or whatever channel it's on to watch it and I ain't gonna do that sadly. So I'm here to just reflect and enjoy season 1 in all of its' glory. 'The Sinner' is a rare murder mystery show that just ties you in with its plot and characters. In the first episode, there's a husband, a wife, and their son when all of a sudden the mom goes psycho and stabs a random stranger on the beach for playing loud music. This was witnessed by everyone on the beach, leaving her absolutely no question as to whether she's guilty. Remember the whole, "you're innocent until proven guilty" thing? Yeah, she's just guilty and everyone blames her for murdering this stranger. This show should be an open and then immediately shut kind of case but everyone wants to know the reason why she did what she did.

Detective Ambrose who is played by Bill Pullman is a very strange character. He's trying to fix his marriage with his wife but is having an affair with someone else. He becomes obsessed with this case because Cora (the murderer and mother who stabbed a stranger) doesn't want to fight trial. She just wants to remain guilty, go to jail and live out her life. But why? Why doesn't she want to fight the system over this? Does she not want to fight for her marriage? What about her son? There were so many questions that needed to be answered in season 1 and it's like having a spider in your brain. You want to know how everything works out and how the story ends.

Another reason I think I loved this show so much is that Jessia Biel is in it too (she's Justin Timberlake's' wife!) But that's pretty much all I can say about this show without giving away its awesomeness. I 10/10 recommend and if you have Netflix, you should definitely go watch it!
