"The Sinner" (USA)
USA
Series run: Two seasons, 2017-present
Where to stream: Season 1 is available on Netflix; first three episodes of season 2 are available on the USA website after signing in through your TV provider
Description: "In new episodes of The Sinner, Detective Harry Ambrose returns back to his hometown in rural New York to assess an unsettling and heart wrenching crime — parents murdered by their 11-year-old son with no apparent motive. As Ambrose realizes there’s nothing ordinary about the boy or where he came from, the investigation pulls him into the hidden darkness of his hometown. He’s pitted against those who’ll stop at nothing to protect its secrets — and the mysterious Vera who proves to be a complicated, enigmatic piece to this haunting puzzle." (Season 2)
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 93%
What critics said: "Some of the storytelling feels less refined than last year … but the cast is again strong enough that The Sinner could again be an addictive summer distraction right when we need it." — RogerEbert.com (Season 2)

Trying to put together a psychological puzzle from her past, she finds herself identifying with the young victims a bit too closely."

Series run: One season and renewed for season 2, 2019-present
Where to stream: Netflix
Description: "A hotheaded widow searching for the hit-and-run driver who mowed down her husband befriends an eccentric optimist who isn’t quite what she seems."
