'The Sinner': The complex and beautiful women who are writing their own stories

The women in 'The Sinner' love, hate, inspire, influence, and above all they live in a male-dominated world where they abide by their own laws.

Other than a strong storyline, a promising cast, and the quintessential essence of a murder mystery, USA Network's 'The Sinner' has given its viewers a group of characters who are not only extraordinary in their portrayal but also help disguise the inner workings of the human mind. Also, it is possibly the one show which has put forward a range of powerful female characters in the #MeToo era where most actresses and celebrities are standing up against the unruly treatment of leading actresses in the industry. 

Both the seasons of 'The Sinner' follow a similar kind of storyline which revolves around the question "whydunnit" instead of the usual "whodunnit". However, amidst Bill Pullman's enthralling performance as the unguarded detective, Harry Ambrose, there are several female characters who give the story its edge and tells a similar story from a varied perspective. While Jessica Biel essayed the protagonist of Season 1, Cora Tannetti, almost as a part of herself, Season 2 sees Carrie Coon, Hannah Gross, and Natalie Paul bring out three distinct characters who have their own twists to offer to the plot breaks.
