There’s nothing better than a good mystery series that keeps you on the edge of your seat, except maybe a good anthology mystery series with plenty of seasons to keep you on the edge of your seat. The USA Network’s crime drama The Sinner first premiered in 2017 with executive producer and star Jessica Biel as an unlikely murderer, leading Detective Ambrose (Bill Pullman) to uncover the motivation behind the killing.

Since landing Golden Globe nominations, as well as an Emmy Award nod for Biel’s performance, The Sinner has continued with two more eight-episode seasons. Each season finds Pullman returning as Detective Ambrose as he dives into another puzzling case, with Carrie Coon starring in season 2 and Matt Bomer leading season 3. The upcoming fourth season will star Ozark’s Michael Mosley, so you now’s your chance to catch up on one of the best mystery shows on Netflix.
