Accidentally started at S4

Just as the title says lol. I was about four episodes in before I realized I had started at season four. No idea how that happened but since I was halfway through the season, I figured I would just finish it.

I really enjoyed the show, despite not knowing the background of the main characters.

Im assuming it’s still worth it to watch season one? I’m genuinely curious on how things start knowing how it ended. I know it’s a new case every season.

JDs Fate

Alright so I know it’s supposed to be Sudden, but man, I wish JD got a worse fate, and yes I understand that the point was to shock us and take away evidence from the characters.

But Jesus, that dude was one of the most evil people I’ve seen portrayed on television.

Idk what I would want his fate to be, but maybe the killers get his girlfriend and he’s still be alive injured in a hospital, that way he can get confronted as well.

Idk. I think the conclusion is, I just hate JD

Apologies

The supposed white female is a cousin and she loves one brother, he loves her. Sometimes other people mistake us for yt. She gets infected informs her love, recruits him. Kkk indoctrinated those and their people can't handle it. Cousin light skin schools everybody else, and inoculate everybody else. The fear we see is when the KkK first attacks. Just my opinion, nothing speacil

what is WRONG with Phoebe?

Okay yes; other than cancer and the bad heart obviously. But she’s just an awful person. J.D is right, she’s a vampire and all she wants is to suck her sister dry of any form of life. She has small moments of sweetness, and look I can’t imagine what a terrible life she must have had, but she basically prostitutes Cora for her personal entertainment, hates seeing her in love and makes her feel awful for feeling a smidge of happiness, and is overall just super overbearing.

Season 2 is better than s1

Very unpopular opinion. I know. But season 1 was just foul, full of useless sex scenes which didn’t add anything to the the storyline and I often found myself skipping through, about a billion plot holes, and to be honest - I just felt like not only was it completely surreal but it was impossible to watch the episodes and play along as “detective”. Like, finding out randomly that the dad was the masked man? huh? okay then

Can someone please help me find this song, from this season 1 promo?

I remember hearing this song in the commercials years ago but I can't find it! The lyrics go something like "stay right here with the devil in you I can't let you loose...bring me down let the devil in me show"

Season 2 idea...

...anyone wanna collaborate on recipes for a "Mosswood Cookbook"? XD

(this is a riff on the legendary Moosewood Cookbook, a classic vegetarian friendly cookbook used by many a crunchy farmer's market shopping hippy. And I've seen a copy or two hanging around at every organic farm and intentional community I've ever visited so the entire season I was hearing "Mosswood" my brain immediately thought Moosewood lol)

Obviously we'd have to include a recipe for "Vera's Apology Tea" in the Mosswood Cookbook. "Jack's Flapjack Stack" has a nice menacing bad dad energy I like. What do you guys think?

Mr Lavender

What’s up with the character ‘Mr Lavender’ in season 1. He seems to be a red herring, but a red herring which really isn’t needed.

I looked it up and he’s not in the book, so it seems they added him for the series with no reason at all but to add confusion. He was a witness, and a potential lead for detectives to follow, but wasn’t utilised at all, and was never bought up again in the series.

vera

i know vera is a mother who has done everything she thinks would protect her son. i may have missed it but shouldn't Vera be held accountable legally? I haven't seen a scene where she was jailed or imprisoned or at least had legal consequences in the latter episodes given the events that took place (hello obstruction of justice). isn't she as much accountable as his "son". Technically, she abducted Marin's son and legally claimed him as his own. Besides the murders would not have taken place if Vera had only let Marin see her son or if she had only raised and taught Julian about truth outside the sanctuary. Also, didn't she kill (at least implied) the Beacon?

S1 Religious propaganda?

Sorry, I don’t think I’ve seen this posted anywhere but I didn’t look very much. Let me know if this is old news, or an of course that’s the takeaway

My theory is that season 1 is religious propaganda for the Christian right in the US. Let me explain

Jessica Biel was in a show called 7th heaven, which was about a pastor and his wife raising 5 kids. It was religious family propaganda in mainstream tv (The actor who plays the father in 7th Heaven was convicted of c p.).

This show, produced and starring (season 1) Jessica Biel. I’m two or three episodes from the finale but I can guess. But at the core is Cora is from a religious family. She left it for a while (the weekend of the July 4th events) and never was the same. In that weekend (part of her short stint away from her family), she goes to a bar, is kidnapped, rape in an orgy, shot up in drugs. She then goes to rehab before going home again thanks to her aunt). Years later, Cora hears the song playing at the beach, the same song of the night of those July 4th weekend after she left home, and kills that guy.

At its core, it’s about a woman who left her religious home, went out one weekend where she went to a bar, was drugged, raped, etc. even when she came back, she was never the same and that weekend she went out still haunts and affects her and is the reason she killed the guy.

I don’t think it’s meant to show a religiously fanatic and abusive mom / family that lead her to kill that guy. It was nothing about her religious upbringing that caused her to kill that guy. It was that she left home and went out to live her life away from religion. It’s subliminal Christian Right propaganda wrapped up in a mystery detective show

Edit: and that’s why it’s called the Sinner

Noteworthy performance by Carrie Coon (Vera)

Just started watching S2 and Carrie's acting (as Mother to Julian, and Head of the Commune), thus far seems absolutely spot on! Full marks to the Casting Crew for this one! Anyone else loves or hates?!
