[5:3]. Overall, the series is appreciated for its psychological depth and ability to keep audiences guessing.
​
Summary
Undoubtedly the most conventional season, with a retired detective Ambrose and investigating a case where the culprits are not identified at the beginning of the series as in the other seasons. Perhaps the most interesting thing is how the profile of the alleged victim is problematized, and the mystery and intrigue that this generates on a character that becomes increasingly difficult to frame. A season that mostly does not incur the implausibilities of the third but that does not manage to approach the quality and intensity of the first two either.

Thought the ending was meh.
Ended up being hard to cheer for anyone.
Didn’t like the latest season at all.
Loved it. My partner and I had a thrilling time with it, we really enjoyed this whole series, so glad that Netflix is doing it a great service. I hope that there will be a few more seasons.

Stack represents greed. He’s always willing to make money by any means necessary and always wants more. He wanted more money so he sent Mary out to scout Remmick and his people. Inevitbaly killing both of them
Smoke represents wrath, he’s angry at the world for losing his daughter, then his brother, then his wife. At the end of the movie he unleashes his wrath on the klan members in his final moments. He could’ve left with Sammie but instead he stayed out of anger. His final error
Slim represents gluttony, he initially wasn’t willing to perform at the juke joint, but stack was able to convince him promising him Irish beer, he is a drunkard. If slim never agreed to play at the juke joint then he wouldn’t have met his end.
Pearline represents lust, as she was a married woman but was tempted by Sammie to attend the grand opening of the juke joint and cheated on her husband with Sammie.
Remmick represents envy, he wants the power that Sammie holds with his music
Sammie represents sloth, not in the physical sense of being lazy but in the way that he ignores his spiritual duties
Grace represents pride, she put what she wanted in front of the safety of the group and caused the vampires to be able to enter.
I talk more about it on youtube in my bio
I think Mary represents Pride better than Grace - it is her arrogance that causes her to believe she can get a read on the vampires, her inflated sense of self, contempt for others, and a refusal to acknowledge any weaknesses or limitations (basically her white passing privilege) is a textbook definition of Pride.
Reminds me of when she said “I wanted to be black! I wanted to be with you Stack!”
This makes more sense
It was not her pride in my opinion, she did it because of her status in society. If they were actually white folk and not vampires, she would’ve been successful. It was her love for stack that ultimately motivated her to do it. My humble opinion.
Uhhh Cornbread=Sloth Remmick= The Devil!! Mary=Envy
Heh. I was expecting you to be reaching, but this all checks out pretty well.
Another thing I thought about after I posted, while smoke does still represent wrath, in his final moments, it wasn’t a final error. It was a final CHOICE it wasn’t because of just wrath that he stayed to kill the klan members. He did it because he wanted to be with his wife and child
Thank you!!
I think Smoke is Greed and Stack is wrath
Best way rationalize Grace as pride is articulating how she negotiated pay with Smoke and inevitably couldn't let her husband go.
Is this The Fugitive (1993)?
Took the bait! Dr. Kimble didn’t kill his wife, and he isn’t the protagonist of this movie.
Damn! I knew it was too good to be true
Wrongfully Accused
lol wouldn’t this be explaining a film plot well? I’d never heard of this movie, and now I need to see it. Thank you!
Frequency
I’ve never seen it, but I just read the plot synopsis and it fits crazy well!
It's a stretch, but Young Frankenstein?
unfortunately, It is NOT alive
I'm a huge sucker for mystery-thriller. Shows like Severance, FROM, Sherlock, Dexter, The Haunting Of Hill House, Mindhunter and Hannibal are some of my all time favorites.
I know all 4 from "The Sinner", "The Killing", "The Bridge" and "The Fall" are great thrillers on their own, but I just didn't know which one to start with.
There's another show - "Sharp Objects" I heard had good reviews. I'm super confused which one to start with as all of these have really positive ratings.
Please suggest, thank you!
The Swedish/Danish version of the Bridge is outstanding. The sinner is meh, imo
The sinner - season 2 is one of the best seasons of tv ever. Also season 3 is super upsetting
I can’t see it, but digustibus non disputandum est.
I loved The Killing. It's one of my favorite thriller tv shows. I really liked The Sinner and I thought The Fall was just ok.
The killing was really good, I wish I could find something as good as that
Cardinal (Canadian TV series) is almost as good and starred Billy Campbell as well
Yeah I've just seen there was an American the killing, I was thinking of the danish one !
The Killing. A good one for Spring because it rains so much in the series.
I thought The Killing was great, you may also like Mr Mercedes which is based on a Stephen King book
Wow thanks for all the responses, adding a ton to my lists!

Just finished this, pretty good show. (Most) of the acting is top notch, but feel like it’s held back by some poor writing decisions, plus didn’t really feel like the main case was as interesting as it could’ve been
Just finished my 4th rewatch and haven’t seen a single other season
Broadchurch
Still not talking to you
True detectives season 1
Are the others not good, I have been meaning to try it but keep hearing its hard to follow
Mind hunters
Seen it
Not talking to you
for real. Seasons 2 and 3 are good but season 1 is another level.
The Fall. British show about a serial killer
Already seen mindhunter, couldn’t really get into broadchurch for some reason...any recommendations?
We have Netflix Hulu and prime.
This one is sometimes on Netflix so I'm sorry if it's not, but The Killing! It's a remake of a Swedish show, it's got similar vibes for me.
Mare of east town
True Detective
Mare of Eastown, ur welcome
The Fall used to be on netflix but isn’t anymore :( it’s available to stream for free elsewhere though it seems
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
Too drawn out.
Sooooo good
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.

Fallen (1998)
Solved!
Nicely done
Tiiiiiiiime, is on my side, yes it is!
I really enjoyed all the seasons, especially the last one.
Season 1 is outstanding, the other seasons really failed to live up to the first one in my opinion.
Only season 1 is worth watching. The rest are bad
This is simply not true.
That was the case for me too. Watched season 1 and fell i love. Forced myself to go through season 2, season 3 I quit half way through episode 1.
Season 1 taught me to never play the song “Huggin & Kissin” on a beach ever.
My wife and I really enjoy this show, I thought the first two seasons were great and third was okay but still worth a watch. Bill Pullman puts in an excellent performance.
