The Sinner




The Sinner is a “crime drama mystery” show that you can watch at Netflix. It has a good plot, deep characters and the right amount of mystery that clues you in every now and then, without ever revealing too much. Unpredictable outcomes and good cliffhangers at the end of each episode will keep you hooked on this show for hours.

You have different stories for each season and both of them are a little disturbing, in their own way. In the first season, we meet a woman with a hard past, filled with psychological abuses, surrounded by hypocrisy and, from my point of view, some madness. Despite that, she kept herself strong, until a single event blows everything out.

The detective of the case, the actual connection between both seasons of the show, is a very interesting and peculiar character himself. 

At the end of the first season, I couldn’t see much development and potential for a second one, yet recently, I’ve seen that it had been there all along, with Julian’s case. A very different case, and story but as good as the first one. When you start watching and you realize that there was a child involved in a murder case, you’ll probably imagine something way different from what you’re gonna watch. Disturbing, nonetheless.

In this season, on top of everything we discussed for the first one, some ethical dilemmas, conflict of interest and some almost existential questions arise. Personally, I liked the second season even more! Hope there will be a third one that turns out to be as good as both of these.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
