Bad Sisters

I've seen seven out of ten episodes, and have no idea who did it or how it was done. The writing is fantastic. After the unexpected death of their parents, Eva ...

There’s a scene where Grace is happily ironing J.P’s socks, which struck me as a clever and sad detail to reflect the level of control this man has over his wife. But the writers are able to show the reasons why it’s so difficult for women who are in abusive relationships like these to get out. The writers layer comedy in with the moral dilemma each of the sisters experience in each episode. Just when the Garvey sisters want to stop with their nefarious plans, J.P. does somebody dirty and the sisters feel compelled to take action. The chemistry between these two half-brothers is rough but it works for the characters. What if women banded together to protect a sister from a dangerous man, and then had to deal with the aftermath of the stand? On top of all of this, the dude is kinda sexy darn it. J.P. is a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, fatphobic, mysogonist hypocrite, the ultimate example of white supremicist toxic Christianity. This character easily could have been a cliche if acted so expertly by Bang. Bad Sisters hooked me with the “what if/and then” factor. The series works because of the strong ensemble cast, excellent writing, and direction. The Garvey sisters watch Grace’s spirit wither away slowly under the weight of J.P. ‘s callous ego. Based on the Flemish TV show Clan, Bad Sisters is a hilariously clever revenge murder mystery/thriller that leaves you guessing.

The actor was once called too much of a 'runt' to make it, but now stars in Sharon Horgan's much-anticipated dark comedy Bad Sisters.

Shameless was a terrific show; huge (“It hit the zeitgeist”) and “it was a sweet spot in as much as I was at the beginning, and the beginning is always delicious. “But it would be a play – directing on film is all about the team, you’re much more of a captain of a ship. I was at the start of the meal.” (Technically it was also the beginning of a literal love affair, since she married her co-star James McAvoy; their son was born in 2010, and they divorced in 2016.) So you couldn’t call Shameless, in 2004, a big break, since she’d already been working for a decade, on stage in London and on screen mainly in Ireland. Plus, it came after The Magdalene Sisters, a stunning film about the notorious Catholic laundries in the 60s, and “that felt like the point my life changed”, Duff says, “because I’d done something on screen that was so important and so valued.” This happens to directors – it has to.” It would be wonderful to see her direct: it feels as if she has a lot to say that “a player” can’t. But sure, some people would hate it. But now it feels that, for a lot of very working-class young people, there’s a lack of belonging inside things.” She describes this dense irony – that norms have changed for the better, but access has changed for the worse – so there’s “a reactionary narrative that young people are all so entitled and full of self-belief. Her next was as Elizabeth I in the BBC’s The Virgin Queen (eat that, Trauma Centre – it’s definitely the lead). She remembers wryly: “There was an article in Vogue asking: ‘Why are they letting working-class people play royal family members?’ I kid you not. For a lot of disenfranchised people, that is bullshit.” The show is set in Ireland, and though Duff, 51, was born and grew up in London, both her parents are Irish. Her accent is pitch-perfect and she is proud of her dual nationality, flexing her EU passport and insisting her son has a Celtic sense of humour. It was perfect in a way, because that’s how coercion works. Domestic abuse has been a longstanding cause for Duff since 2006, when she played a woman escaping a violent relationship in Born Equal, directed by Dominic Savage. “I had been in touch with Women’s Aid and visited refuges at that time. Sure, all actors have to inhabit the moment, but not many do that in an interview.

All in all, I do feel that Bad Sisters is the type of show that can only really be judged by watching it. What are your thoughts on the series so far? The cast shown within the trailer is excellent, and that bodes well for the show itself. While there is, of course, vital information in the premise, I’m still none the wiser on what to expect. Here’s everything we know about the new witty and darkly comedic murder mystery series Bad Sisters. But will Bad Sisters continue to ride high like the others?
