Season 1 Review:
Judging by “The Better Sister,” a series can start out being stupid and obvious and eventually make fun of the stupid and the obvious, all the while upscaling its own genre. .... “The Better Sister” finds a groove with characters who are so vile you can’t stop watching them.

Season 1 Review:
Whether you want catharsis and consolation in the form of Biel and Banks trading poor taste zingers between flashbacks to their communal childhood trauma is a matter of personal taste. But when it comes to reassuring downfalls, this decent-enough drama knows how to play the game.

Season 1 Review:
Unfortunately, despite all of its compelling components, the show quickly loses its way. “The Better Sister” begins to unravel because it’s tonally chaotic. .... Additionally, the show drags on endlessly and would have been more engaging if it weren’t stretched across eight lengthy episodes.

Season 1 Review:
The finale is all dry plot machinations, even scattering breadcrumbs for a repetitive second season despite Amazon billing the show as a limited series. Like Sirens and Long Bright River, this is an over-extended movie that nobody would make as a movie, even with big names like Biel and Banks as its stars.

Season 1 Review:
Tt ultimately reads as a stale and redundant crime thriller that doesn’t thrill at all. In fact, at times I struggled to stay interested in one part of the show. .... You’re better off queueing up Defending Jacob, Bad Sisters, Presumed Innocent, or The Sinner instead.
