"The Sinner" Season 3: Jamie Gets An Unexpected Visitor; Ambrose Is Just Fine Where He's At, Thank You Very Much [PREVIEW]

USA Network and Bill Pullman's Detective Harry Ambrose are back on the case for a third season of award-winning mystery-thriller anthology The Sinner. Though the season's case files won't be open for another 24 hours (premiering Thursday, February 6), it's never too late to get a look at what new "sins" await Ambrose.

One problem: while Ambrose wants to bring the truth to light, Bomer's Jamie is more than happy to keep it – and possibly other things – buried.
