Sisters

This is truly an amazing, bittersweet series about family and what that means. The characters stick to you long after you've watched. They're fun and weird and flawed and vulnerable. And like real siblings, they can annoy you and frustrate you, but you'll end up loving them! Couldn't recommend this enough!

BUT... the ending felt rushed and it left a lot of loose ends that really could've been resolved. Despite that, the acting was great and most of the characters' dramas were well rounded and good. It does have a lot of situations that just felt like excuses to cause more drama - things that could easily have been avoided and don't feel that... real. But in the end you get over it as it's an enjoyable experience overall.

An enjoyable movie, different and i loved the characters. I hope there is another season.

The plot of Sisters is unique. This is not something that you find on every TV show. One day you wake up and find out that your father has been tampering at work and you have 100+ siblings. That is not the premise of an average comedy drama show... YET, Sisters is very relate-able to anyone who has siblings. The drama, the problems, the love, the hate everything seems so real and so heart touching.

The thing I like about this show is: it promotes positivism, it is not over-the-top, the acting is great, cinematography is great, dialogue is a bit lackluster. Overall Sisters is a great show and I really want to have season 2 - let's hope Netflix brings it.

"Sisters" is the story of three women who find out they have the same father in the most unexpected way and attempt to form some kind of sisterly bond despite the circumstances. A similar premise to the Vince Vaughn film "Delivery Man" told from the reverse perspective of the children, this show explores the same questions about the relationship between identity and biological parenthood.

Three very strong, dynamic lead characters carry the show through seven episodes with a cornicopia of secondary characters and complex subplots weaving between them. The focus of the show is on relationships, but doesn't consistently spend a lot of time on any one specifically other than Edie and Tim, which is the most interesting of all. Consequently, the story struggles to balance all of the plots at once and never finds a consistent structure.

However, the real strength of the show is in its raw emotional honesty. The majority of the characters are completely genuine which allows for the relationships to feel tangible and is enough to overcome some truly bazaar dialogue. I've never been Australian, but some of the fringe characters say things I don't think humans would ever say to each other with a straight face. Edie's mum is a prime example along with some of the abuse all three main characters accept as if it were commonplace.

I rated the show 7/10 for its honesty, leaving room for improvement if writers can figure out a balance that allows the plot to grow. That is, if a second season is planned.
