TV Watched -- The Sinner S04 E01

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I loved the first season of The Sinner and tolerated seasons two and three, so I’ve just started on season four and here are my brief stream of consciousness bullet points on episode one (SPOILERS):

  • Bill Pullman still squinting and wincing full time, that’s called acting

  • PTSD panic attacks from previous seasons

  • Sonya has fat black buddy on island in Maine?!? Makes no sense but they’re ticking boxes

  • “Greta,” whom we later learn is a lesbian in addition to being fat and black (tick another box), has a million dollar house despite being a “broke artist” … don’t worry, we never see her again

  • Chinese invasion angle, threatening Maine lobster operations, again makes no sense

  • Bill off his anti-depressant zombie meds so the panic attacks are pretty bad

  • Angular faced Jewish hippie chick from Orange is the New Black appears (I couldn’t stand that show), she is 32 years old

  • Very awkward old folks sex scene (Bill Pullman is 68 and Jessica Hecht is 57!!) … That Ship Has Sailed, I don’t care that she’s on top, and what’s with the choking, egad

  • Going to heavy blue camera filter for anti-depressant withdrawal dream? sequence scenes

  • Ineffectual, slouching country sheriff, needs Big City Bill’s help

  • Crusty old angular face grandma, “she could get ya back to port in any storm!”

  • Why do none of these people have Maine accents?

  • Tokens left near suicide jump site, an air of mystery

  • Local dive bar has hottie singer with giant mouth (Jessica Marie Brown)

  • Neo-Nazi homesteader with neck tats looks like zombie, sort of collapses out of camper trailer but remains standing, an air of danger. “I likes just me and da posums out here in da quiet!”

  • NONE of the Muldoons sound like they are from Maine

  • Unabomber hoodie captured on CCTV footage

  • Bill explores weird wailing and moaning he hears from million dollar porch, Blue Filter alert

  • Oh my god, it’s a coven of naked witches! Led by Grandma Muldoon?!?

  • Tune in for episode two!

Find me, Bill!
