The last half of the series dragged and was pretty much anti-climatic.
As much as I like Bill Pullman, he was beginning to get on my last nerve in the final episodes. Soooo conflicted and then he'd have a flash of brilliance, or so laid back, tortured and confused, and then be like a commanding general. Fast forwarded through a lot of unnecessary dialogue. I wanted to strangle the Vera Walker character. It was never explained why the kid kept getting those manic episodes, or who all those men were that kept coming to the compound. Was the place some sort of sexual pervert retreat? And what happened to the guy who was the leader of the commune...Lionel Jefferies? Lots of loose ends.
I'll watch Season 3, but hope it's better.
It was an exciting day when Season 2 of The Sinner, Jessica Biel's brainchild, finally arrived on Netflix. It's sort of like True Detective in that each season is a standalone mystery, and Season 2 centers on a young boy, Julian, who starts off confessing to the murder of his parents.
But considering the twisted premise (Season 1 is based on a German crime novel), and all the roadblocks the community encounters regarding this baffling case, many viewers are left wondering what exactly happened during the ending of The Sinner.
Fans' biggest gripe with this season of The Sinner is that it didn't feel as tight as Season 1. The "why" doesn't really come full-circle to explain the startling events of the first episode the way it does in Cora's season. "This season... zzzzzzz," writes one redditor.
