‘The Sinner’ Finale: That Shocking Ending Explained

‘The Sinner’ Finale: That Shocking Ending Explained

EW

Despite the initial pilot setup, The Sinner turned out to be much more than a “whydunnit” (to borrow a phrase from creator Derek Simonds). The eight-episode event based on the novel by Petra Hammesfahr and starring Jessica Biel was arresting and serpentine, a (sometimes simultaneously) disturbing and sexy study of multiple characters, in which no one is purely good or bad. It’s a slow burn that escalates into a bonfire — the last three episodes will leave you breathless.
