S01.E08: Part VIII - The Sinner

this was epically disappointing.

Yes we've met the father before but it was basically a criminal ex machina. It's preposterous in the extreme that a loving dad who is a doctor would have as a first or even second impulse kill the witness, no take her home and keep her drugged.

Do. Not. Buy. It.

It'sridiculous that somehow after this horrible night Frankie DID go to med school and graduated and was normal enough to have a girlfriend.

Do. Not. Buy. It.

I expected much, much more. Don't know what, but more.

this was preposterous and depends on an otherwise normal suburban guy being an extreme criminal or having those tendencies.

That Frankie was the ONLY one with the right attitude-- it was an accident-- when Dad was THERE makes no sense. Would have made more sense had J.D. attacked Frankie before he called his dad. But once an adult was on the scene the whole next section including dad with the hunting mask... preposterous.

As for being "sorry"-- not so sorry you didn't LIE to the police about whether Frankie had ever seen Cora, and not so sorry you weren't willing to let her go to prision for 30 years.

I took the last shot as the detective is now reevaluating whether he needs and deserves "punishment" for the things he felt were his fault (even though he knows they weren't), especially after Cora got some kind of absolution.

Huh.

I took it as a hopeful thing that he'd stop punishing himself with his unloving wife, and go back to his caring dominatrix. Seriously. Making a better choice.

And agree with all who say the parents are a huge gaping hole here. Supposedly mom did love Phoebe. Makes zero sense.

And what about the aunt? Didn't she notice Phoebe dying suddenly? No funeral?

And as predicted the attack pattern was a big red herring.
