The week in TV: Bad Sisters
Yes, the suave horror of John Paul is missed, but over the course of eight episodes there's still much to savour.
Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 17th November 2024Bad Sisters Series 2 premiere review
These first two episodes have to do a lot to set up the new characters - Shaw and the bumbling DI duo - and by getting the bulk of the screentime in which to do so, they all feel worthy additions to the series. But it all points to a storyline that feels somewhat irrelevant.
Mark Costello, AV Forums, 15th November 2024Bad Sisters series two review
After a near-perfect first run of episodes, this sequel has a lot to live up to.
Gary Ryan, NME, 14th November 2024Bad Sister Series 2 review
Sharon Horgan's follow-up to her stunning revenge comedy is darker - and far less charming for it. The plots are a rambling mess and, despite stellar performances, it all feels morose.

"I was working until 1:30 in the morning on my rewrites," she said. "I feel like the thing we wanted to do with the second series is to make it in a lot of ways very familiar, and in a lot of ways completely different because you need to sort recognise and still connect to a story, but from a writing point of view, you don't want to be repeating yourself and going over old ground. I think the thing that interests me is the 'what happens next' of it."

The opening episode sets the tone for the series, which rides the line between humour, drama and mystery as the sisters attend their brother-in-law's funeral with mixed emotions.
