Season 2 Review: The second season exemplifies what Bad Sisters does best: splices the ridiculous joy of life with its bleakest moments. It’s more sombre in tone than the first season, but as fiery, twisted and shocking, which will keep viewers second-guessing throughout. Read full review

Season 1 Review: All the actors playing the Garvey sisters are excellent, and they make the sometimes prickly, but always loving, five-way family rapport endlessly enjoyable to watch. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Bad Sisters continues to be a fun show to watch because all five actors playing the Garvey sisters have great chemistry with each other and look like they’re having fun with this dark comedy. It also helps that Horgan and company continue to write smart dialogue for them. We just hope the second season story keeps the focus on the sisters and their lives. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Danish master of pitch Bang and the finest Irish cast this side of “Normal People” create vivid personalities snarled in believable relationships, aided by chewy dialog, eye-catching blocking and a killer soundtrack of murder ballads. Every wacky, excruciating predicament the Garveys get themselves into seems as natural as fraught family gatherings around their upscale kitchen tables. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The evocative portrayal of sisterhood, the impressive cast and the occasional razor-sharp gag mean it’s hard to condemn this as an unequivocally bad show – but it’s certainly no longer a particularly good one. Read full review

Morally it's a confusing one. It's not my first choice of action vs a non-violent but terrible family member, but it creates funny moments I guess. I wonder if the deconstructionists look at this and flip some of the characters and their sexes and/or races and see if it plays. My guess isMorally it's a confusing one.

Siempre me he preguntado si el asesinato es un bien o un mal, también puede depender la razón por la que hacerlo. Desde pequeñito mi anime favorito ha sido Death Note, era brutal que teniendo solamente una libreta pudieras escribir en ella a quién le deseas la muerte y se cumpliría. Soy fan de los momentos, historias y finales bonitos pero más lo soy cuando hay maldad, injusticia y sin piedad; es un gran ejemplo de la sociedad de hoy en día, esos tres términos evalúan nuestra existencia (nos la merecemos). Pero siempre quiero encontrar la paz y la felicidad, algo imposible en esta época. Sharon Horgan, creadora e intérprete en la serie, ha llevado a cabo un remake de una serie Belga, Clan (2012). No hace falta más, una historia corta sin necesidad de crear un futuro, es completa.

Si hablamos de un asesinato, hablamos de originalidad y e inoportunidad, y en estos 10 capítulos no desaparecen estas dos necesidades. Cada capítulo, las hermanas Garvey intentan matar de una manera sigilosa y precavida pero todas en mal momento. No valen para ello, aunque tienen buenas ideas. Su cuñado es un bicho malo que nunca muere. Digo lo del bien y el mal porque en el caso de las Garvey, quieren matar a John Paul para que una de las hermanas, Grace, pueda tener la vida normal que tenía con ellas antes de estar con él, John Paul no le deja hacer nada, casi no sale de casa, y bueno, ha hecho cosas muy malas a toda la familia pero Grace ignora todo ese calvario. ¿No se da cuenta o no quiere darse cuenta? Puede que eso lo descubramos al final, o puede que no. O quizá no lo dejen claro. Tiene fuerza y entretenimiento, buenas interpretaciones y da curiosidad. Necesita despegar más fuerte en algunos momentos pero no se me hace pesada. Sus personajes son eficaces y previsibles pero bien protagonizados, un guión interesante lo necesito con más poder. Hacer lo que sea para salvar a tu hermana de esa situación sí que tiene mérito.

At least 4 episodes too long. After the first two you'll get the pattern and pretty much guess the ending. A cast of morally bankrupt characters, written by those that know little of civil law and police procedure, or even common sense come to that.

Stretched out by a factor of 2 - should be five episodes at most. Modest humor, plot is irritating. More suspense in this ?

Very atypical Sharon Horgan jokes and over the top acting. I’m sorry to say the best actor in it is Claes Bang as the nasty brother in law. The sisters are all infuriating (Bibi particularly is a dreadful actress, even Bono’s daughter has more talent) and the plot is predictable.
