That it is his death not an accident, is relatively clear. “The Sinner” was prominent in his previous two seasons already in the Trailer, who is the murderer. The concept of the series is different: It comes after many surprising twists to find out who the perpetrator is, but why he did it. In the Psyche of the murderers descend.

The Sinner: Nietzsche and a murder

In season three, he is now something of a soul mate. It is no Spoiler to reveal that Jamie has killed Nick. As the audience learns at the end of the first episode. Ambrose senses quickly, the small uncertainties in the survey, the Hesitation and Pause. It takes still up to the middle of the season, until the motives for the murder are brought in motion. The more Ambrose goes into the case, the more he learns, how deep is the connection between Jamie and Nick. How much of the change in the whole way, to see the world of the other. There are many conversations that revolve around the same thing: pain, Nietzsche's concept of Supermen. A kind of philosophy course disguised as a detective series.

The result is that the voltage level of the third season of “The Sinner” is significantly lower than the two predecessors. “Jamie,” the simple title, is speech dominant, more character study than pure Suspense. Therefore, Showrunner Derek Simonds all that effort into his killer as sympathetic as possible. As a man who eats all his feelings to himself, because he has not learned to deal with them.

The realizes that he can not escape all of their pent-up emotions, until they break in the Form of violence out of him. (Read also: “365 Days” - the most problematic Film of the year)
