What do you think? Have you seen The Sinner? Will you watch season two?
The first season was very surprising and was just that little bit different.
It didn’t seem to get the right promotion though and I feel that many may have missed this little gem.
Can’t wait for the next season of Sinner. Excellent series, acting and production. For discerning adults.
