The sharp, chummy world Horgan creates here would make a terrific binge session. Honestly, if it meant I could spend more time in their warmly murderous clutches, I’d watch the Garvey girls go after the Road Runner next.
The more you get to know J.P., the more you'll want to see him dead. ... If you’re smart, you’ll tag along for the ride. Few things are more satisfying than a guilt-free guilty pleasure. [29 Aug - 11 Sep 2022, p.6]

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.

Report
Beyond the smart construction and tart dialogue, especially in the episodes (four of 10) written or co-written by Horgan, “Bad Sisters” succeeds because the five lead actresses convince us that they’re a family unit, sometimes for worse but mostly for better.
One of Horgan’s best, Bad Sisters manages to be both a clever murder-mystery and a hilarious farcical comedy, played by an absolutely killer cast.
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.
It’s a good show, and an impressive entry into Horgan’s filmography, which by now includes a number of stories about thorny, complex family dynamics. It offers gutsy humor, great performances, and a deeply interesting premise about the persistent, inexplicable success of terrible men and the strength and savvy of the women who put up with them – until they don’t.
Bad Sisters is never boring. With so many moving parts, there’s always some fresh detail to be unearthed in flashbacks or some new scheme for the characters to cook up and execute. ... Yet in the seven hours sent to critics, Bad Sisters feels slightly less than the sum of its parts.
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 is no, but that is too deep, too deep. Great acting tho.
Report
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. Initially **** before half way becoming somewhat of a tiresome chore.
Report
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. When you are rooting for the ‘evil’ character, you know the rest are poorly executed!
