The Sinner | Season 4 Episode 8 - "Part VIII"


Spoiler Alert!

 

Hello!

Here we are with the last episode of The Sinner! And what a sad episode!

When I thought there wasn't really anything major to discover, they hit us with another death.

I'm just gonna go straight to the point. There was indeed more that the Muldoons were hiding. But before I keep going, I need to correct myself on one thing that I said in the last post. I said that we didn't know who Valerie was but we do - it's the boat that they burnt in one of the previous episodes. I don't know how that slipped my mind but yeah... I just wanted to correct that.

So, there was indeed something bigger behind what happened to Percy. Who she was looking for wasn't really important - it's what she did in Colin's boat. We really assumed that Colin was molesting her or something but, turns out, it was a fight between Sean and Colin with Bo, the Lam's oldest son. Yeah, I didn't even remember him but turns out, he wasn't back in China. What really happened to her was that, while in that fight, in trying to stop it, Percy shot a gun and ended up killing him. And to protect her family, Meg gave the Lam's a fishing permit, which was something that they needed and they accepted it in order to protect CJ's future. It all seems unbelievable, but if you really think about, parents want the best for their children so they would do anything to protect them and ensure their future, so that's what both Meg and the Lam's did. They didn't tell CJ what really happened to Bo though, so he only found out in this episode.

I should also say that it was Sean who broke. I guess we all knew he was going to be the on to come clean. Just like with Percy, it was killing him inside, so he just told everything to Harry and later to the police.

The episode actually ends with Harry piecing everything together - Percy killing Bo, the numerous ways she tried to cope with her guilt (first going to CJ to try to come clean, then getting involved with drugs, leaving the island but not really being able to because she was haunted by Bo's spirit who she kept seeing but also her family following her, then going to Em for some spiritual guidance), the thing with Em that was the only thing that sort of worked but made her discover another secret - the human trafficking - that we find out happened because the business was bad after they gave the permit to the Lams, Percy tries to go to the police but her family stop her once again and so she no other way to get rid of her guilt. 

It's a super sad episode, not only because of what happened to Bo but also everything that Percy went through all because of her family. I even saw a comment say that all of this happened because of Meg's pride and selfishness in keeping the business, which is kinda true. It's just a sad story. The only good thing coming out of this was Harry finally finding another way out of his own grief.

Because this is the series finale, there has been a lot of speculation about what really happened to Harry in the end, and a lot of people are saying that he jumped. Personally, I think he lived and I would even go as far as saying that maybe he stayed in the island? I don't know... That hug with Lou was really touching and maybe Harry could be a consultant and help Lou... I felt like Harry was enjoying the island so my theory is that he stayed on the island.

But I guess that's it from me in terms of The Sinner. I'm kinda sad that the series is over but they ended on a good note so... I'm happy with this ending. Let me know what you thought of the ending, as well as the season overall, and I'll see you in my next rant!

Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 4 Episode 5 - "Part V"


Spoiler Alert!

 

Hello everyone!

Back with the last couple episodes of The Sinner (as of now) and this one ended with another bang!

As if one dead body wasn't enough, now we have one more. And there's still one death to uncover! 

Most of this episode was a little bit boring, I gotta be honest. Though, once again, they played us really well. I saw some people theorize that the docs girl - Em Castillo's - was involved and, turns out she really was! In fact, she was involved with the whole 'ritual' thing, although I quite enjoyed that bit.

Unlike in most series and movies, this rituals/cults look really out there but here it was really grounded and, actually, something I could get behind. The whole thing about loving earth and nature being your 'god' is some that speaks to me so I liked that whole approach.

Of course all of that was to explain what Percy was involved in and, although it wasn't anything creepy (at least, not as of now), we did discover the meaning behind those objects. We already knew who two of them belonged to and we kind of assumed that the star was Colin's (just like Harry assumed) but no - the cross was Colin's object, and the star represented someone that Percy blamed herself for the death of.

Obviously whatever happened, happened in Colin's boat, so my prediction is that Colin was present when the death happened and, to be honest, I think Colin did it. I think it probably was because Percy was dating a guy and Colin didn't like this guy and he was the one that killed him. But because Percy was there, she blamed herself for his death. However, the mystery doesn't end here.

The next day, after speaking to Em, Harry calls Sonya and in this call she tells him about some photos that the intruders took - good thing she saved them on the cloud so she sent them to Harry and surprise - there's something shady going on between two boats in one of those photos. And in that exact moment, when Harry is looking at those photos, Meg rings the bell and Harry takes the opportunity to ask about those boats, to which she says one of them belongs to Brandon. They go to the docs and, as the boat is approaching them, they realize the boat was on auto-pilot and no one was on board. That's when Meg sees something odd and... they find Brandon's body hanging (underwater) which a bullet in his skull.

Needless to say, I'm super curious about this whole thing because it looks like we might be wrong about a baby and whatnot. I said this and I say it again - the show is really playing us and, to be honest, I love that about it - we are truly following Harry's footsteps and following the clues, which is really smart storytelling. 

Anyway, that's it for this episode but I'll be back pretty soon with the latest one! Until then...

Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 4 Episode 4 - "Part IV"


Spoiler Alert!

 

Hey!

Back with another rant and... it looks like I was wrong.

This episode started out right away with finding out that the body on the water was, indeed, Percy's body. That was a little bit shocking but, unfortunately, the remaining of the episode wasn't as good as the previous ones. This episode was really slow and, truly, the only genuinely good thing to come out of this episode was Sonya and Harry splitting up. I guess we can all agree that no one liked her and she really wasn't good for Harry and wasn't helping him getting to the bottom of this - which is what we want and what Harry needs in order to be fulfilled.

What we suspected was also sort of confirmed this episode - there was something going on between Colin and Percy. What we saw in this episode was just them going on boat trips and Colin trying to get Percy to 'get back into' religion. Unfortunately, it looks like someone else got her into another religion and that's why they had a fight and they weren't really talking.

The episode actually ends with Harry connecting some of Percy's drawings to the 'Legend of Bazegw', a folktale from the island. And then, Harry goes to the beach and founds some sort of altar with more stuff related to this tale as well as one more drawing from Percy and, as I saw someone theorize, this drawing looks like a monster holding a baby so... Maybe there's still possibility that Colin got Percy pregnant, the family tried to hide everything and maybe made her get an abortion or something and she felt really bad about giving up on her baby. Looks like a solid theory, however, I've realized that every single episode goes where we think it's going so the show is really playing us well so... I bet there's something else, and something to do with those women doing some sort of ritual.

But I guess that's it for this episode. Not as good as the previous ones but we're getting closer and closer to the truth so... We'll see... I only have one more episode to review so, hopefully, it will be up before the new one comes out but I can't make any promises. 

Still, I'd love to know your thoughts and theories on this season and I'll talk to you soon.

Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 4 Episode 3 - "Part III"


Spoiler Alert!

 

Hey! Back for another round of The Sinner rants!

Well, and the plot thickens. Again, just like last season, I feel like this season is giving us enough information that we sort of figure out what is going to happen in the next episode, but I'm pretty sure we're far from figuring out what is really going on with that family. Also, the way the episode ended... I think they're tricking us. We saw a body in the water and they made us believe its Percy but... I don't think so... Wild guess? Maybe its CJ Lam? Maybe he decided to go look for Percy and somebody stopped him? I don't know... We don't have enough information for that, but this episode did give us a ton of information about that time that Percy was away from the island so... Let's talk about that!

First of all, I guess I was sort of wrong - she wasn't pregnant. I mean, they never talked about that and, having in mind that she was with a roommate for about a month and Caroline never told Harry about a pregnancy... My bet is that she really wasn't. However, I still believe that somebody in her family was molesting her - more specifically her uncle Colin.

We also find out in this episode that Percy's mother is alive and, actually, Percy went to her when she ran away - before she went to live with Caroline. However, I don't really think there's more to unpack here. I'm pretty sure Rise - Percy's mother - told everything to Harry. I mean, everything that concerns Percy because, as she said, there's a lot more to that family and to Meg, so maybe Harry will end up going to her again to find out more about Meg but... As of now, I think the focus will be on the Muldoon family and the people in the island.

But before I end, we need to talk about that dinner scene! That was intense! And I don't know if Harry did the right thing at telling them everything he knows but, at the same time, that made him uncover a few things about Sean and, turns out, Sean was the one driving Percy's car so, everything that concerned the car, doesn't really matter to the investigation - and that's why they led us to believe that Percy is, in fact, dead. I still doubt that, but we'll see...

And yeah, I guess that's it for now. I'm super invested and I can't wait to find more clues because, lets be honest - the clues part is as interesting as finding the truth so... Let's see where this leads us. In the meantime, let me know what you have been thinking about this season and I'll be back soon with another rant!!

Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 4 Episode 2 - "Part II"


Spoiler Alert!

 

Hello!

So, here I am again, with episode 2 now. 

Well, it looks like I was right about something - the relationship with the Lam family. As I suspected, Percy did have a relationship with CJ Lam, the son of the owners of the restaurant. But, as expected, there was a lot more to it and, to be honest, I'm read some really interesting theories on the season might be going so... Let's talk about everything we found out in this episode.

Everything begins with finding CJ's fingerprints in Percy's car. Present with this, CJ says he only got a ride from her. However, Harry recognizes one of the trinkets that he found last episode at the restaurant. Post that, he also sees red dirt on the tires of CJ's car, which could only be found where they also found Percy's car. So he goes there and talks to Diez, a drug dealer that confirms that CJ was there the night that Percy disappeared. 

After that, and after being attacked by someone (that they suspect is someone from Percy's family), CJ admits that he had a relationship with Percy and tells everything to Detective Ambrose. He admits that she basically got him addicted to drugs and then, suddenly, left and now, she came back, and never really reached out to him... Until the night she disappeared, and that was when she got the head injury. 

Later on, Lou and Harry tell Meg that it wasn't CJ and that's when Meg says that she saw Percy's head wound, which she couldn't have because she said that the last time she saw her was at 7pm, and the injury happened later that night. 

Post this, we can only suspect that Meg is lying and, to be honest, I think Lou is hiding something as well. He can't be that bad of a cop - he's definitely working with/for the Muldoon family.

Some theories I saw online said that they might be trafficking drugs and she didn't want to do it anymore and so she faked her death. It's a solid theory, but doesn't explain the cult things... Also, I'm pretty sure the trinkets are things that remind her of the people that she loves the most. For what, I don't know, but I'm pretty sure we'll find out who the other two things belong to in the next couple of episodes. Then, there's also the possibility that she got pregnant and that's why she left for 6 months (that was what CJ said, if I'm not mistaken) and her family wanted to cover that. Why? Maybe she was assaulted by someone in the family? That just came to my mind and it makes sense... We'll see.

This episode wasn't as intriguing as the last one but surely gave us a lot of clues and I'm super interested in knowing where this is going.

Again, let me know your thoughts and theories so far (no spoilers for the next episodes, please) and I'll see you soon!

Love,

Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 8 - "Part VIII"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone!
Another season come to an end. This one, although not unexpectedly, still left me speechless. I really was not expecting the things to go down the way they did so, for that, I'm really happy. However, the ending itself was pretty sad and... I'm a bit torn.
After last week's events, we knew this was going to go on a different direction. This whole season was a bit different from the previous two, but I still loved it (unlike most people, from what I've seen). Heck, I liked this season better than the last one. I think this was way more clear and the characters were more interesting. I can't say enough praises to Matt Bomer! He was phenomenal in this role and he really should get an Emmy for this. But, back to the plot itself, we knew Jamie was about to go on a dark path and so... That's what he did.
The episode starts with Detective Ambrose finding the body of his Superior. Pretty soon they realize that Jamie is going after people that matter to Harry and the next in line are Eli, Melanie and Sonya.
I must say, I'm a bit disappointed that Sony didn't have much to do with this plot. You could take her out of the season and it wouldn't really matter, in my opinion, but I'll get past that.
So, with that, Harry and the police keep an eye of every one of those people. We see that Jamie tries to do something to Eli but instead he goes after Sonya. That scene where he's confronting her led me to believe that she was more like him than Harry is, but they didn't really go deep into that so... We don't know. Again, I think her character was a bit of a waste of time.
Then, things get deeper. Jamie goes to Leela and they have a moment through the glass. It really looked to me as a goodbye (which is odd because he didn't know what was going to happen next) and I really felt that moment. That moment really showed that Jamie wasn't a bad person - he was just troubled. He really needed help and the only person that helped him was the wrong one - Nick - and after that, there was no helping. The damage was done and no one could do anything about it.
Post that, Jamie calls Ambrose from Eli's phone and that's when everything comes crashing down. Harry goes after Jamie, there's a big and deep confrontation, they fight and Harry really tries to get under Jamie's skin. And I think he manages to. That scene where Harry is shouting and Jamie just doesn't know what to do, again, just shows how human Jamie is and that he didn't want to do what he was doing, he was just lost. Unfortunately, things don't go down as planed and after a chase, back at the house, after another confrontation Harry has had enough of it and just shoots Jamie. That really was the breaking point an after that everything goes downhill.
The shot wound was worst than they thought and, even though Harry calls for the police and the ambulance, there's no way Jamie is going to make it. I must say, I was hopeful. I could see in Jamie's eyes, again, that he was suffering and he really didn't want to die (as he said). You could see in Matt Bomer's performance that Jamie was suffering and he was realizing that he loved life, he loved to live and... There was no time left. And it didn't.
Jamie died and Harry broke as well after seeing Jamie struggle and wanting to live. And that's it. That's the end of the season.
I think this episode was packed with emotion and, overall, I think this whole season was pretty intense. Yes, there could've been a bit more and more mystery, but up until episode 6 I kept having questions and I loved that about the season. I'm pretty happy with it!
Let me know what you thought of the season. Did you like it? Did you not? Why not? How does this season compare to the last ones? Tell me everything and I'll see you sometime with a new rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 7 - "Part VII"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
I'm back with a new episode of The Sinner and, as per usual, what a great episode!
This is when the season takes a turn! Until then we were just 'waiting'... Not really sure what we were waiting for. I mean, now we know what were we 'waiting' for but until this episode we didn't. And now that's when things are going to get intense. But, before I get ahead of myself lets get back to the beginning of the episode.
So, I guess I was kind of right when I said that Jamie was going to get Harry out of the hole. Harry did stay buried for eight hours but Jamie took him out and I guess they bonded?! In a way, I was happy and interested in seeing Harry go through a 'transformation' but, turns out, this was all a plan to get a confession, which did happen and Ambrose recorded it without Jamie knowing.
The confession thing didn't go too well in the end. Everything because Detective Ambrose went back to Jamie to apologize. I mean, I get it, they kind of have a bond, and Harry broke that bond. This whole thing is so confusing because on one hand I'm rooting for Harry to catch Jamie but, on the other hand, I'm on Jamie's side. I really feel like Jamie is not a bad guy, but he does need serious help.
Anyway, after the confession thing not working out, Jamie is released and tries to go back home. However, Leela put a restraining order against him, suggested by Detective Ambrose and... That really sets Jamie off. Not only that but also learning that his 'protégée' Emma is doing fine. My take on this was that he thought she was 'broken' too and thought of replacing Harry with her, but she doesn't need him anymore so... That really set him off and the next thin we see of him is him going after Harry's boss and, presumably, killing him.
Also, in the very end of the episode, we see Leela reporting to the police Jamie's confession of killing Kyle as well as the blood that she washed off Jamie. And that's pretty much it.
This season has been really interesting. Not only the concept is a little different, with Harry not believing the suspect is innocent but, instead, going after this suspect. Also, this season feels a lot more dark and eerie, mostly this exact episode. The whole atmosphere of this episode was really heavy, which I personally loved.
Well, as per usual, I never talk a lot about my favorite episodes so I'll leave it up to you to tell me your thoughts on the episode.
Apart from that, I guess I'll see you next week with more rants!
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 6 - "Part VI"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
What an episode! When everyone thought this season didn't have anything else to give, they present us with this episode!
I knew there was so much more to this season, and I guess I was right. There were two particular events that really shocked/impacted me this episode.
The first one was when Jamie visits Sonya and... There's something shady about her, definitely. Yes, she comes to him, initially, with a shot gun, but then she starts taking photos of him and that scene really created some tension. I felt like at any minute Jamie would burst and something would happen but... It didn't. Still, that scene was so impactful and I'm sure I won't forget it anytime soon. Also, that scene really shows that there's more to the story, mainly with Sonya, so I'm really curious where that leads us.
Then, the second main event was the end of the episode, when Jamie buries Ambrose and he tricks him (or at least that's what we are lead to believe). I still think that there's more to it. Maybe the time is up and he's just taking the tube out because he's going to free Ambrose. I don't know, but I truly believe Jamie is not a bad person and I got back to feeling bad for him in this episode. Again, that scene with Sonya where he strips himself... Well, not only it was really nice to look at (judge me) but it really made him look vulnerable and I don't know, I just felt some type of way. Yes, it might be because it's Matt Bomer but regardless, I'm loving his portrait of Jamie and overall, Jamie is just really complex character.
Also, there's the flashback scenes that was really in awe. The younger-self's of Jamie and Nick were great! Not only they looked pretty much alike with Matt Bomer and Chris Messina, but their voice and their mannerisms where so spot on! Really well done job picking those actors and good job of the actors themselves.
Well, I don't think I have anything else to say. I'm still really excited and curious about the rest of the season and, for now, I don't have any more predictions. Let's see what the next episode brings.
If you do have any predictions let me know in the comments and I'll talk to you on the next rant!
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 5 - "Part V"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
That's right, here I am, once again, with a new The Sinner episode.
This week's episode was... interesting. I feel like it was more about the characters and not so much about the plot. Still, I was pretty invested and I have some new theories.
As per usual, we find more things about this whole Jamie situation. He was, indeed, who killed Kyle, the guy from that party, after he comes back to have a more insightful reading. Kyle talks a lot about how Nick was and says things that he used to say but after getting too deep into Jamie's head (or whatever) he decides to stop, and that's when Jamie gets mad and kills him. This whole interaction was presented to us through flashbacks throughout the episode and only in the end we see Jamie really kill him. And from all the things that Kyle said, I came up with something slightly different. I'm just going to go straight to that and then touch on the rest of the episode. So, Kyle says that Nick wants Jamie to keep going, that he's almost there but I thought he was already 'there'. I thought the 'look death in the face' was about seeing someone die and, at this point, Jamie has seen two people die and he's still not there? That makes me thing that it's not about someone dying, it's about you get close to dying - in this case, Jamie get close to dying, hence the grave. There's still a lot of things unexplained so I'm curious to see where this whole thing goes.
Post that we follow Harry. He quickly gets an hold of some evidence that might incriminate Jamie and he gets in touch with him. Jamie basically confesses everything to Detective Ambrose and the later tells him to just turn himself in. Jamie refuses to and just leaves. At this point you can see that Jamie is really out of his mind and, as much as I feel for him. I'm with Harry on this. And with this killing... There's no excuse.
And the last piece of this puzzle is Sony, the woman that owns the property where they had the accident. Harry tells her that she should be fine and that it was only a game but she's not satisfied and she goes to Leela and tells her everything about the grave and the night that Jamie had with Detective Ambrose. This was really shady and I'm so sure that this woman is hiding something. Every episode she gets more suspicious and this... This just was too much.
Well, with all that she found out, Leela ends up kicking Jamie out of the house, which leads him to make a visit to Detective Ambrose, when he had his grandson staying over with him. This just let to a minor fight that I'm pretty sure was Jamie's purpose - to instigate Harry just like Nick instigated him. Which makes me thing of another theory - Jamie is trying to 'recruit' Detective Ambrose. It's a really out there theory but there's a reason why Harry cares so much about Jamie - he sees himself in him, in a way, so that's a possibility.
Okay, I guess this might have been my biggest The Sinner rant so far.
Let me know what you thought of the episode and which are your theories. Do you agree with any of mine? Tell me everything. I'll see you next week with new rants!
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 4 - "Part IV"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
Here I am with the latest The Sinner review and... Wow! Just when I thought we had basically everything figured out, the show throw us another curve ball and leaves me confused all over again!
The truth is, this episode gave us all the answers (or so I thought). We follow Detective Ambrose and Jamie through New York City (which was super interesting, in my opinion) and throughout the episode they give us numerous clues. Also, we get s few flashbacks from the night when Nick died and those, more than the walk through New York, gave us the missing pieces.
Turns out I was half right (for now, at least). It looks like yes, they used to do a bunch of different things to 'face death', as they said in the show, but in that night Nick decided to change things up and he wanted to bury the woman that owned that house in the middle of the forest. And, as we suspected, Jamie wasn't okay with it and so he created the accident. But, unlike we thought, he didn't let Nick die on purpose. It was Nick's idea do die so Jamie could face death. That was so messed up but at least, just like in the previous seasons, proves that Jamie is not 100% guilty that there was more to the story. However, from the end of the episode, we know there's more to the whole thing.
In the end of the episode Detective Ambrose is notified of a new murder that occurred that night and, when he gets there, he realizes that the dead guy was the 'psychic' that told Jamie the prickly pear thing. So, I guess there's way more that we don't know about and there's for sure more to the story than just two guys playing God and 'facing death'. Well, we know that Nick as a sociopath but I don't know about Jamie... Maybe it's because it's Matt Bomer but I just feel sorry for Jamie and, in a way, I kind of connect with him. That whole speech about being lonely... That really got to me, and Jamie might be one of my favorite characters ever.
Anyway, post that, I have no more predictions. Everything that I thought already kind of got revealed but still the story is not done and so I have no idea where this is going. I just know that I'm super excited for the rest of the season and can't wait for the next episode (luckily I don't have to wait much).
If you do have any predictions let me know and I guess I'll see you in the next review.
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 3 - "Part III"


Spoiler Alert!

OMG, this gets more intense with each episode!
Hello people! Here I am to talk about a new episode of The Sinner (yes, I know, I still have another one to review).
This episode just left me even more confused. If I already had a lot of questions, now I have even more. And when I thought Jamie was finally going to get better... Nope, he's just about to get worse.
Overall, not much happened and we didn't really find new things (hence why I'm still so confused) but we did get a pick into Jamie and Nick's past and we learned more about when they met in college. Turns out, Jamie changed once he met Nick and they started doing some weird stuff, from the looks of it. It really looked like they were doing what now what they used to do them, which isn't something new... We had kind of learned that in the first episode, but now we get a few more details. Also, Detective Ambrose finds something in a photography from Jamie's old roommate - Ubermensch - which is basically becoming your own god (?). I'm not too sure if I understood the concept correctly but it is based on the study of Friedrich Nietzsche, so you can look it up if you want to. For now, I would rather be in the dark - I feel like that creates a better atmosphere for the show. 
Anyway so, right now, I don't think they wanted to kill that woman. Instead, they just wanted to play with death and what they were doing was bury themselves alive, which might be some type of initiation. And maybe Jamie was doing it all over again because he didn't complete it the first time. Maybe things got out of control and he bailed. Unfortunately, I think this time things won't end up well because Jamie is really loosing it.
All of this makes up for good television though and I'm loving Matt Bomer's performance!
I really don't know what else to say about the episode. Everything else that happened doesn't look like as interesting or as important to me. Maybe Emma (Jamie's student) will play a bigger part in all of this but, for now, it looks like it's just a way to let us know that Jamie is really not well.
Detective Ambrose tries to help him in the end of the episode, but Jamie sees the whole thing as a way to force a confession out of him and just runs away.
I really can't wait for the next episode! It looks like the next one is going to be more intense so... Let's see.
Let me know what you thought (even though episode 4 is out already) and I'll see you pretty soon with the next rant.
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episode 2 - "Part II"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello people!
Oh My God I have so many questions!
If I thought I knew where this season was going, this episode really threw me off. I really thought I had things figured out but there was so much that happened that changed and confused my mind. One thing is for sure - there's something clearly wrong with Jamie. The good thing is, that makes for an awesome performance from Matt Bomer, which makes me so happy and really excited to see more!
I guess I can say that, the main focused of this episode, was Nick's hand injury. That was really bothering Detective Ambrose's mind and so he started digging on that. By doing that, he discovered that Jamie and Nick had been together three days before the accident, which was why Jamie said to Nick, in the previous episode, that they couldn't be keep meeting (or something like that).
Through flashbacks of Jamie thinking about it, we see Jamie and Nick having dinner in Manhattan and we discover that it was actually Jamie who reached out to Jamie which initially I thought was the other way around. However, we still see Nick influencing negatively Jamie, and so does Detective Ambrose when he goes through the security footage of the restaurant. But still with that, there was something wrong and weird about the whole thing. Jamie tells Nick that he stopped feeling which lead me to believe that he wanted danger in order to feel something. That is kind of contradictory which my initial prediction, but I still think they were planning on doing something to or with that women who owned the land. But even in that regard we get some information in this episode.
Sonya, the woman, finds a freshly dug grave on her property and a jacket over the shovel. Inside the jacket's pocket Detective Harry Ambrose finds another origami game (which I don't know the name in English, I'm sorry) which makes me question everything again.
All I know is that there's clearly something wrong with Jamie. Everything that we learned in this episode makes me think of a serial killer behavior, but there must be something deeper in all of this. This woman, Sonya, is clearly part of everything that was going on, Nick really wasn't a good influence and him and Jamie obviously used to do something that not only was dangerous but also maybe illegal and, of course, Jamie is reaching rock bottom and eventually he's going to snap.
Needless to say, I'm so enjoying this season! Even more than the last one, I would say. This gets weirder and weirder and we're only on episode two.
Let me know which are your predictions now, after this episode. Did you change your initial theory? Did this new clued made it clearer for you? Tell me everything!
I'll see you next week with more rants!
Love,
Daniela.

The Sinner | Season 3 Episoe 1 - "Part I"


Spoiler Alert!

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new series here on the blog!
That's right! I decided to rant about another show. After Arrow ended, I felt like I should 'replace' it and there's so many series that I like and that I want to talk about so here it is. And, I asked you guys on twitter which one would you prefer and, it was actually a tie, but I went with The Sinner. The Sinner is not a show that I've been watching since the beginning. Actually, this is the first season that I'm really following. The previous ones I binge watched but still, I thought they were pretty unique and not only this is a show that always keeps you guessing (which is goo for theories and everything) but this is also an anthology, a bit like American Horror Story so I thought this was a good choice!
As for this season, I must say I was pretty excited about it. In case you didn't know, I'm an huge fan of Matt Bomer (I might have mentioned it on an American Horror Story rant) and if I already was excited about a new season, when they announced that Matt Bomer was going to be the lead of the third season, I was thrilled. And he did not disappoint!
This Season starts off pretty good! The premise is simple but there are a few clues that I think are going to throw us off and surprise us. But basically this season, and what we see in this first episode, is a man that has a car accident and is killed.
The connection between the seasons is Detective Harry Ambrose, who is called to the scene of this car accident. The driver, the one that died, was Nick Haas, a former college friend of Jamie Burns (played by Matt Bomer) who was also in the car but who survived. 
I really don't know what to touch on in this review. There are a few clues that allow us to piece together what happened that night. The only thing that we know, which is shown in the end of the episode is that Jamie did cause the accident and he didn't call 911 soon enough and let 'his friend' die on purpose. His intention with the accident was not to kill him, but after, he did basically refused to help him. Now the question is - why?
In all of this there's also a woman who is really suspicious, in my opinion. The owner of the land where they crashed. It looks like that road only lead to that woman's house so they must have wanted to go there. Also, the woman asks Harry if they had guns which might not look like much but that set a whole plot in my head.
So, my initial prediction, when Nick arrived at Jamie's house, unannounced, and after Jamie tells him he can't keep doing that was that they were lovers. But after the whole thing with that woman and after Jamie's wife asks him he there was anything romantic between them, I have another theory.
As of right now, I think Nick was a Hit-man and that him and Jamie used to do it in College (as they said during dinner). Nick was hired to killed that woman (she must have done something because she knew someone was after her) but Jamie didn't want to be part of that life anymore (hence why they haven't spoken for years). My other theory is that the woman was going to hire them to kill someone and she was, indeed, expecting them. I don't know for sure (obviously, this is only episode 1) but my bet is on my first theory, for now. But knowing this show, this is going to have some plot twists so I can't wait for the next one.
Before I end this rant I just wanted to say that I'm really happy that Matt Bomer got this role. I feel like he always plays similar roles and in this he can really show how good he is so, I'm thrilled and, again, can't wait for more.
Well, I hope you liked this new addition to the blog and let me know if you're a fan of The Sinner. And, if you've never seen it, you should, cause it's really good!
That's it for now. Let me know your initial theories and I'll see you tomorrow with a new The Flash rant!
Love,
Daniela.
