The Sinner (2017)

BingeNext's take

If you’re into crime dramas that really make you think and feel, The Sinner is a great pick. It follows a detective in a small New York town who’s not just trying to solve strange crimes but also dealing with his own personal struggles. The show has a strong cast including Bill Pullman and Jessica Biel, which adds a lot of depth to the story. With four seasons and 32 episodes, it’s perfect for binge-watching when you want something gripping but also a bit dark and emotional. Fans of shows like Dexter or Fargo will probably find a lot to like here. Watching it feels like peeling back layers of a mystery while also getting to know complex characters who aren’t just black and white. It’s a solid choice if you want a mix of suspense and drama that sticks with you.
