Tara Judah Sight & Sound 02/12/2025
Helmed by a stellar cast of British and Irish actors, including Horgan herself, Bad Sisters is a delicious, intriguing caper. Go to Full Review
Geordie Gray The Australian 07/03/2023
This pitch-black comedy, created by Irish writer Sharon Horgan, known for her biting shows like Pulling and Catastrophe, offers a wickedly funny spin on the popular female revenge premise popularised by Big Little Lies. Go to Full Review
John Doyle Globe and Mail 09/15/2022
Funny, intelligent, both scathing and congenial, it’s marvellously inventive. Go to Full Review

Tamma Moksha The Hindu 06/11/2024
One can't help but be captivated by the ensemble cast's performances, with a special mention to Claes Bang for his nauseating portrayal of the sadist that is John Paul. Go to Full Review

Jenn L @Jenn-moon May 11 I love family dramas, and this one hits almost (just almost!) too close to home. It's pure fun, even if I found myself stressing for the characters form time to time. See more A. L. T @MaxieP Feb 20 It's a lot of fun to watch and the acting is good but it's not very good writing -- lazy writing, in fact. (Spoiler alert ahead...) First, I didn't believe that Eva would be convinced to (try to) murder her brother-in-law so easily, even though he's so vile. Speaking of, he's a completely one-note character -- just a classic bad guy who's easy to hate, so not very interesting. And why would the sisters answer any of the insurance guy's questions -- he comes on like a detective, and they know he's not. It's also hard to believe that Grace would sign all those papers without asking what they're for or even skimming them. And that's just in the first 2 or 3 episodes! Boo. See more REN D. @MidwestREN Jan 18 Got sucked in to this show. Love the differing personalities of the sisters and how they watch out for each other. They nailed how abusers manipulate and how the abused are mentally tortured. Great to see a family rallying to try and stop the abuse! See more Admiral b @admiral_mohamed Dec 31 The premise of the show is interesting to watch in the first 5 e0isodes after that it kept getting dragged and became repetitive and boring See more Flixster F @RT77094268 Dec 19 Watched the first episode and that was enough to make the decision to leave! See more Danuel W @DJWilliams Nov 12 A story that kept on going in the best way possible. Every episode was a delight. See more Read all reviews
