Bad Sisters

Having seen Sharon Horgan in the series "Catastrophe" I respect and admire her writing, comedy and performance so much that I will watch anything she is in at this point.

"Bad Sisters" is a wickedly funny, brilliantly written, brilliantly acted, and brilliantly directed and just all around clever and so human - both the good and bad, that it stands out immediately.

There is no real violence, car crashes, special effects, it is all very human, the real drama and agony of what some people do to others, smoothed out with hilarious circumstances and comedy. I love this show.

John Paul, one sister's abusive husband otherwise known as "The Prick" to all the sisters is so marvelously and diabolically written and acted that I don't know if I can ever see this actor again in anything else and not hate him for being so evil in such a banal role. Two minutes of watching him constantly call his wife "Mammy" ... it's honestly, just upsetting, because he is so realistic you want to kill him yourself or see to it that he dies.

This series walks the fine line between comedy, drama and tragedy so perfectly, I have to rate it a 10/10.

Absolutely brilliant drama, gripping from the get go, and also very witty with lovely writing.

The Irish setting is beautiful and beautifully shot too with lovely cinematography. The characters are hugely relatable and we feel their pain and root for them throughout.

The baddie is so bad and played so well that you are desperate for him to die and rooting for the women who may or may not have killed him.

Lovely performances from all the cast but especially the sisters who are utterly believable as a family and have wonderful chemistry together.

Wish this was all available to binge - the week on week wait is unbearable!

I watched the first episode and was a little hesitant to keep watching but gave it a shot anyway. By the second and third episode I was hooked...mostly by my own desire to murder JP myself. Out of all of the shows and movies I've seen in my life I don't think I've ever seen such a well written character as JP. The vile, evil things this character says just blows my mind and I really have to applaud 👏 the writers of this show. Claes Bang (JP) is amazing in this role and delivers each of his cutting, stinging, hurtful lines perfectly with the facial expressions to match. I would have given this show a 9.5 or 10 except the first episode didn't really hook me. So just stick with it a little.

This is a great show!!! Heard about this in the NY Times and I've seen several series that Sharon Horgan was in and loved them all and this is no exception! It's got pieces of everything; comedy, drama, mystery, little dating/romance. Really enjoy the way this story is being told. I'm hooked. Highly recommended series.

Reminds me a bit of Big Little Lies or whatever that HBO series was but a lot more fun to watch and more relatable characters. Gotta check this out.

It will be interesting to see if this is a one series thing given the plot. The actors are great so I'm going they can do another season.

Bad Sisters is brilliantly realised in every detail, starting with its crackingly good script.

But it's also technically superb, with a great sound track and cinematography, coupled with really good locations.

The ensemble is terrific, clearly having a really good time with their material, and deliver plenty of laugh out loud moments, but quite capable of the requisite pathos essential for a show of this nature.

Bad Sisters is a true black comedy in every sense of the word - but a sympathetic one - with a rich vein of Irish humour that bubbles to the surface and keeps us invested in the Sister's fortunes. So even though the girls are up to no good, there's always the hanging question - 'but are they, really?' - cos we identify with their predicament and the judgements they're forming. So we all end up conflicted - brilliant!

If you're an overly sensitive male ie. You don't like it when the worst traits of male behaviour get exposed and a corresponding comeuppance, ... then you really need to watch this show and desensitize, it'll do you good and offer some perspective on how everyone else gets left in the wake of selfish male boorishness.

I'm cheering for the Sisters! Way-to-go!
