The Sinner

This isn’t the jolliest or most relaxing of shows, but it’s certainly gripping and psychologically fascinating. The three seasons each star Bill Pullman ( Independence Day) as brooding police detective Harry Ambrose. He investigates crimes committed by unlikely culprits – for example, Jessica Biel, who stars in Series 1 and is also the show’s executive producer. Storylines have twists and turns, some of them mind-bending and impossible to second guess. It’s less of a “whodunnit” and more of a “whydunnit”, featuring cliff-hangers designed for binge-watching, and characters who stay with you long after you’ve finished watching.
