The Sinner is also blessed with a rock solid and generous premise (based on the book by Petra Hammesfahr, who continues to write for most of this season) - what makes ordinary people commit some of the most extraordinary crimes. The opening sequence - a pretty holiday spot in suburban America turns into a horror scene thanks to a young mother’s (Jessica Biel in an Emmy winning performance) unexplained blood lust - is still considered one of the finest in the genre.

When he talks to Jamie, he sees how rattled and distracted he is and starts to dig into Jamie and Nick’s history. Ambrose is limping along, literally, as he battles sciatica while examining the scene of the accident. As the first episode closes, there’s a chilling moment between Jamie and Nick that will reverberate throughout the season.ĭetective Harry Ambrose ( Bill Pullman) is still on the job and living in a remote house outside of Dorchester. ![]() Later in the evening, Jamie and Nick go for a drive and get into a car accident on land owned by local artist Sonya Barzel ( Jessica Hecht) and that becomes the pivotal incident for this season of the show.
