Factual errors: In the reverends bail hearing he was accompanied by his "family", with two uniformed men, one Marine and one Soldier. The family member that was attired in a U.S. Army Class-A Uniform was wearing a nonexistent rank. The rank being worn was that of a Private First Class; however it was sewn on the uniform upside down. On very quick look, it could be assumed the rank was that of a Specialist, however, that was not case either. Additionally, there were more ribbons being worn by the soldier than he could have possibly earned, given his rank in the Army. Example, the Soldier was wearing the ribbon associated with the Good Conduct Medal which is awarded for each three years service with good conduct. The rank of Private First Class is awarded generally after one year service and at two years service the rank of Specialist or Corporal is generally awarded. Therefore the soldier had another year at least, before he was eligible for the Good Conduct Medal. more

As one watches "Sin," one gets a feeling of deja vu. That is understandable inasmuch as producer Dick Wolf's other series in the L & O franchise have tackled similar territory: a defrocked minister accused of sexual misconduct with a male prostitute. The original L & O had "Church," which aired in early February, while "Criminal Intent" offered "Brother's Keeper," with guest star Tom Arnold, during the same month.
"Sin," actually, is the weakest of the three, with not much of a mystery, and barely passable performances from guests Tim Daly ("Wings," and the recent remake of "The Fugitive") and Kathy Baker ("Picket Fences"). Both are fine actors but they just don't have the right chemistry as the pastor and his overzealous wife.
As far as the regular cast is concerned, Meloni's trademark intensity was nowhere to be found, Hargitay's part was at a minimum, and Belzer had primarily a "walk on." This season has not made an effective use of the latter, as well as Ice-T, two of this viewer's main reasons for watching the show.
With three series on the air, it's understandable that their plots may overlap. But to have the same happen within a single season is an insult to the discriminating fan.
