Yes, Bad Mothers feels like a bit of a rehash of the first season of Desperate Housewives, including a murder mystery. But the sharp dialogue and excellent cast make the show a fun watch, despite the fact that it doesn’t quite feel fresh.

If the lockdown has given you a hankering for imported cheese, take a dip into “Bad Mothers.” This soapy Australian suspense series is being compared with “Desperate Housewives,” but it’s also a lot like “Big Little Lies,” without the superstar cast or the pearl-clutching sociology. Which makes it more fun, of course. ... Ms. Haubrich is highly engaging, but so is the rest of the principal cast.
