Streamline recommends “The Sinner” as the new show you should watch this week. The second season premiered Aug. 1 on USA Network.
“The Sinner” follows a different crime story each season, so you don’t have to go back and watch Season 1 if you missed it. That said, Season 1 ― starring Jessica Biel and Christopher Abbott ― still deserves your time if you have any to spare.
This second season stars Carrie Coon, an actress who makes everything better. The plot follows a detective as he returns to his hometown to investigate a child who possibly murdered his parents. Through the investigation, the detective discovers that the town he thought he knew actually hosts many troubling secrets.
Coon plays a matriarch figure to the child suspect. She may or may not be his real mother. Mysteries abound!

The Weekly Streamline Ranking Of All TV
Every week, Streamline ranks the best shows to watch right now.
The ranking prioritizes newness, quality and potential mass appeal. Read below the list for a more elaborate explanation of the methodology.
For the weekend of Aug. 4, “Succession” tops the list.
As mentioned the last few weeks, this HBO show just keeps getting better. The show has definitely won the summer.
Also, I rounded up the 7 best Netflix Original shows of 2018 so far. It’s helpful if you haven’t been keeping up with the Streamline rankings each week ― it lists the shows that truly stood out so far this year, at least on Netflix. I’ll probably do a ranking for all television (including shows like “Atlanta,” “Killing Eve” and “Barry”) soon.
