I really wanted to love Sinners. It ticks a lot of my boxes (I love old “blues lore” kind of things like Robert Johnson and the crossroads, hellhounds etc.). I found it… boring, sadly. The music is really good though, at least. I don’t get the hype. Cool concept - it deserved the fleshed out narrative that a show could offer imo.

This isn’t an insult, I promise.
How old are you?
There are so many books and movies that suddenly clicked for me when I was the right maturity/age/point in my life.
I’m not calling you immature. Please don’t take offense.
I am 43. I really just didn’t enjoy the lack of depth in the plot.
Edit: fwiw I see and understand the parallels between the vampires and history in this scenario
It was a half assed from Dusk to Dawn with more stereotypes and less fun.
I enjoyed it, but it was definitely nothing special.
Please revisit this movie in a decade.
I would rather watch a real classic, not a bad copy.
