Main Cast and Characters

[5:1].

[5:1].
Fancasts and Hypothetical Casting
Fans have engaged in fancasting discussions, imagining different actors in roles if "The Sinner" were set in different contexts or genres. For example, a 90s fancast included Denzel Washington and Angela Bassett in leading roles [1:1]. Another discussion humorously reimagined the series as a comedy featuring the Wayans brothers
[4:1].
Overall Impact
"The Sinner" stands out for its psychological depth and exploration of human motives, which keeps audiences engaged despite varying opinions on the plot progression in later seasons. The strong performances by the cast add significant value to the series, making it a worthwhile watch for those interested in crime dramas with a psychological twist [5:4].
OH MY GOD I'M ACTUALLY SCREAMING 😍😍😍 I was JUST thinking about how perfect Denzel would have been if Sinners was made in the 90s
The only good option
I feel like Annie shouldn't be skinny, other than that, good fancast.
Juliette Lewis more likely would have played Joan. Bullock was already a lead star in the 90’s
Lowkey should of been Brandon Lee
Denzel Washington as Stack/Smoke Gabriel Byrne as Remmick Tevin Campbell as Sammy Jennifer Beals as Mary Angela Bassett as Annie Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim (Obvious) Tim Roth and Sandra Bullock as Joan And Bert Forest Whitaker as Cornbread Toni Braxton as Pearline Russell Wong as Bo Chow Michelle Yeoh as Grace Chow
Michael B. Jordan
Hailee Steinfeld
Miles Caton
Wunmi Mosaku
Delroy Lindo
Jack O'Connell
Jayme Lawson
Omar Benson Miller
Li Jun Li
Michael B. Jordan - Icon
Hailee Steinfeld - Huntress
Miles Caton - Music Meister (based on the Harley Quinn version)
Wunmi Mosaku - Madame Xanadu
Delroy Lindo - Professor Hugo Strange
Jack O'Connell - Manchester Black
Jayme Lawson - Vixen
Omar Benson Miller - Calendar Man (Hear me out)
Li Jun Li - Peng Deilan (Chinese WW)
Fuuuuuuck Delroy Lindo as Hugo Strange is outstanding casting!!!!!!!
Jack playing an edgelord anti-hero Brit who toys with Supes.
I love Jack O'Connell but can do without the dollar store Jenny Sparks
Constantine would be
cool
Hailee Steinfeld as Zatanna
Not sure about the others but Li Jun Li I could probably see as Lady Shiva.
Michael B. Jordan needs to direct Static Shock or play John Irons
Wunmi Mosaku could be Jean Hawkins (either her or Kerry Washington)
Delroy Lindo could play an amazing Strange (either him or Bautista)
and Jack O'Connell could be a great Constantine in a Mike Flanagan standalone
MBJ has frequented the WB pipeline. Him as Steel can fucking work.
‘Static Shock’ isn’t a fucking character!
His superhero name is very much Static. I’m confused?
Jayme Lawson is already the mayor, Bella Real in The Batman (Matt Reeves / Robert Pattinson)
Despite the initial pilot setup, The Sinner has been much more than a "whydunnit" (to borrow a phrase from creator Derek Simonds).

The eight-eight episode event, which had Jesse Biel as its star and was based on a Petra Hammesfahr novel, was arresting for its serpentine investigation of various individuals, which was both unsettling and seductive (at times at the same time). You'll be out of breath after watching the last three episodes; it's a slow burn that's picking up speed.

“Sinna’s”
Do. We. Have. A. Problem. Here.
You know that is what they would name a Wayans Brothers parody.
FYI Sinners, with the hard “R,” is easily the best movie of the year so far, and will probably remain so, barring something absolutely spectacular coming out.
Edit: spelling and grammar
Winners
That was perfectly spot on.
this is my first time watching the show and I want to see people's opinions
Season 1 was my favorite! Loved how it was different and kept you interested, but the seasons after that went down hill for me.
Season 1 was good, season 2 was absolute dogshit. That kid is annoying as fuck
Sooooo good
Too drawn out.
Season 1 great, season 2 I even liked better (most like 1st better I’d say), and 3rd really failed . But if you know that going in it may help. Really it’s the actors that are the great thing about season 3 - Pullman, boomer and Messina. The writing went so far left and really failed the development of Ambrose.
It is characterized as a "whydunit" suspense drama. Victor Williams, who plays the detective in charge of Ruth's case, even has a guest role!
I also binged the Sinner on Netflix last week! The writing was a little inconsistent at times (I felt like some episodes dragged while others were riveting) but overall it had a solid story, beautifully shot, and Jessica Biel surprised me with her performance. I never thought much of her as an actress until now. Bill Pullman and the actor who played her husband were great as well.
The husband was excellent in the movie "It comes at night" as well. Like this show, it seems like a love it or hate it movie, but I loved it, and i think that anyone who likes The Sinner will as well.
I'm really enjoying the 2nd season. I'm very attracted to this older, scruffy Bill Pullman!
Fantastic show, and Season 2 has Carrie Coon (who was so amazing in The Leftovers as well!)
I was just depressed finishing off the last episode can’t believe it. Going to check this one out thanks!!
Great show!

Not Irish (somewhat by ethnicity, but not at all by nationality). My read on this was a few degrees off from yours, but similar.
Yes, Remmick is the child of a colonized culture as well, but he is precisely the kind of person who claims to be an ally--perhaps even fully believes himself to be--but still sees the oppressed black population as a resource (for blood, culture, music, what have you), rather than respecting their individual autonomy. He offers hollow statements of love and belonging, but he's still overpowering you and claiming your cultural identity as his own, whether you consent or not.
As for the Christian element of the movie, I like the subversion from Vampire-typical. Sammy is caught between hate and predatory assimilation. He looks at the role models he has, and he sees that serving the country hasn't helped them (the twins' time as soldiers), money hasn't helped them (the stories about black men having their earnings stolen from them), and now faced with Remmick, faith isn't helping him either--indeed, Christian faith is a tool available to Remmick as well.
For Sammy, the conflict between the blues and the Church comes down to choosing between holding on to the culture of his own people vs. embracing the culture being thrust upon them. If he chooses the latter, then his own culture is lost to him--much as Remmick's is lost to him. Perhaps Remmick represents a possible future in which Sammy turns away from the Blues and embraces the Church as his father wants--nourishing his spirit by spouting hollow rhetoric about salvation and love and belonging to those who have been assimilated against their will.
He was caught between God and the devil, both offering false promises. He managed to escape them both.
On Remmick, I mostly agree, but I see him as someone who uses their people’s suffering in the past as a weapon to justify acts of atrocity against other people.
Irish-American here. I don't really think it's so much about Irish people in reference to British colonialism but more about the Irish experience in America. Specifically, I think the vampires broadly represent assimilation, and the with way anti-Irish bigotry has disappeared alongside the merging of distinct european identities into an American idea of whiteness, an Irish-American is a good choice to lead the group.
Didn’t Remmick tell Sammie that they were both colonized and had Christian religion thrust upon them?
Yep. He is a pre Christian Irish man. Either way non Biblical Ireland is long gone outside the common consciousness of the populace at that point in this movie's timeline. And it's even more so if we skip to 2025. He is a man out of time but because of his vampire biology he has retained memories of a past only accedmics find in the historical record. But those past memroies aren't explored. immortality means he also can remember his nation before the Bible came to it
Seemed like this whole movie was about temptation of western (Christian) freedom, while both realize it’s in their face, reddick still thought of Sammie as a resource more than anything.
Ryan Coogler explicitly talks about how it was important for the vampire to also have had his language and religion erased by the British just like black Americans AND there's a reference in the movie that Remmick got to the USA in 1911.
Irish man here. born in Dublin live in the north rn
Personally remmick is my favourite character in the movie (yes partially because he's Irish, and also because he's cool)
Remmicks character is a very good SUBTLE representation of Irish struggle in this movie. He shares common ground with the main characters, while also being completely different at the same time
One other thing is like to say, during the Irish dance scene outside of the juke joint, remmick looks ecstatic while he's doing his lil jig, this is likely a very subtle comment on how he'd have had his culture stripped from him (for anyone who knows about Ireland during that time, early British invasion along with many Irish having their culture banned) and wouldn't have been able to dance like that in centuries
The shared common ground is why I think Coogler made his character Irish. I'm a non Irish black guy, but I just saw the movie and was very curious on how Irish people feel about it, because while watching the movie I was definitely leaning toward taking his offer. Was raised around family from that era and Rennick made some points that hit home.
I’m from NI and thought he was a great character his background makes him more interesting because I think he really does believe he’s helping people and because of his background he understands exactly how they feel. The flaw in his logic is that he’s forcing the vampirism on to them rather than letting them opt in if they want. Just like how he seems to resent how Christianity was forced on him by people who were convinced it was for the best.
I’m a third generation Irish American and I really enjoyed the movie. I loved the character. I have only recently been learning about Irish paganism, cultural holidays and traditions. I can relate to desperately wanting my culture and community and not really having anywhere to turn. I did use a lot of eastern spirituality in the past as Christianity doesn’t align with me. It wasn’t until I started connecting with other people that I found what I had been trying to find does have some of the oldest roots in Irish culture And that I can practice my spirituality in a way that still aligns with what I feel is right for me while also being culturally appropriate.
I do think that it’s important for white Americans to investigate their heritage and relearn culture and traditions of their former country. Our assimilation was and is not healthy or productive, but instead, just like this movie, self-destructing and just like all of American history, socially ruinous, violent, self-serving and self-abandoning. Starting with Native Americans pursuing him was very important commentary. One tribe sent Ireland money during the potato famine, a time they needed resources just as badly, but because they saw another indigenous peoples being destroyed, they stepped up; and the favor wasn’t even returned until 2020.
I do think that this was an important film, and I do appreciate that they included Irish American struggles, losses, but also failures, in it and to have that acknowledgment. Ever since this country was created, money has been in the hands of a select few. Those with unearned privilege only remain in power with the complicity of the oppressed. Keeping disadvantaged groups pitted against each other, and trying to climb up a ladder that intentionally has most of the rungs missing, loosing yourself to the pursuit of personhood unjustly taken away, is unfortunately a very common cycle in this country.

Hocam çok hoş olmuş ellerinize sağlık🌷
Not sure why this show isn't more popular around here. It's consistently so damn good.
I liked season 1 but only heard bad thing about 2, is it worth watching ?
Both seasons were good (not that RT is a reliable measure of TV quality). Carrie Coon is in season 2 and she's always great. I think I liked season 1 slightly more, especially because it turned me onto that Big Black Delta song: Huggin' & Kissin'. Recommended to fans of dark/moody crime shows like True Detective, The Night Of, Mindhunter, Sharp Objects, etc.
Season 2 was not as good as season one. It was OK but not quite there with how good season one was. So far season three looks pretty good albeit pretty predicable.
Matt Bomer makes me feel funny.
In a good way or a bad way?
That depends on how religious you are.
Good 1st episode. Matt Bomer and Chris Messina !!!
Penske Media is the evil one here. They bought THR, Deadline, Variety, Rolling Stone, TV Line and others. They control the Hollywood narrative now and the uniformed public eats it up. I hope Sinners ends up doing bonzo mega box-office.
I don’t know much about the guy who runs Penske Media, but is father is a bit of a known Trumper. Not saying that’s what’s happening here, but The Captain is a pretty wealthy and influential guy.
Jay Penske is a fucking dipshit who I would not be surprised if he also does that "put younger persons blood into himself because he's so afraid of death" nonsense. He's a nepobaby failson who is only where he is cuz of daddy.
I mean to be fair Brooks Barnes and his editors at the New York Times aren’t free from sin here either. Lotta unexamined racism at play in choosing to blindly trust and repeat the white “consultants” who emailed them to push the narrative this movie is a secret failure because the director is an uppity Black man.
I’m a fan of the UFL “there are dozens of us!” And people freak out at the attendance and ratings but the ownership is putting out signals that they’re not only satisfied but that they’re looking into expansion. It’s exhausting hearing everyone’s negativity I’m just glad there’s spring football.
As for Sinners I feel like WB is pretty stoked right now. They took a flyer on a unique concept and it’s paying out.
>^("Why are they making this movie?")
Who is this for?
Combined, the two Black Panther movies made over $2 billion at the box office and earned Marvel their first ever Oscar nominations for best picture and acting. If that doesn’t earn someone the right to make a $90 million dollar movie, then I don’t know what does—especially if it’s a VAMPIRE MOVIE STARRING MICHAEL B. JORDAN, i.e., a pretty safe bet!
Hell yeah, bro. I watched Plane. Did they think I wasn't going to see Sinners?
The lowest circle of hell is r/boxoffice discussion

In the hockey world, Steve Dangle created a fake account called Smart Insider Man that would tweet the most benign rumors. It was a great shtick. "32 teams interested in Ovechkin, will he be traded?? Sources say there's interest, I rate this a SIM 4!"
