The Sinner (2017–2021)
7/10
Seasons 1 and 2 are great. Season 3 not so much.

I was intrigued by this series since first episode of season 1. Absolutely marvelous! Season 2 had the same kind of murky waters and complex mystery feel to it, enjoyed that as well. The slow unravelling of history behind the seemingly pointless acts of violence is delicious. Mystery at it's best. I would give season 1 a grade of 9, and season 2 the grade of 8.

But unfortunately season 3 I just found to be very boring. The start is great, but I guess too high expectations kind of ruined it for me. I was sort of waiting for it to unravel, but it never did. They changed the concept. I don't like it! Around middle of the series it just looses the appeal. Maybe it's because I am not that into analyzing the detective's struggle with partially sexualised control/submission/pain thingy he has going on due to mother trauma. And the relationship he is building with this criminally insane dude with existential unstableness... Not my cup of tea.
