Mal de Família

Having seen Sharon Horgan in the series "Catastrophe" I respect and admire her writing, comedy and performance so much that I will watch anything she is in at this point.

"Bad Sisters" is a wickedly funny, brilliantly written, brilliantly acted, and brilliantly directed and just all around clever and so human - both the good and bad, that it stands out immediately.

There is no real violence, car crashes, special effects, it is all very human, the real drama and agony of what some people do to others, smoothed out with hilarious circumstances and comedy. I love this show.

John Paul, one sister's abusive husband otherwise known as "The Prick" to all the sisters is so marvelously and diabolically written and acted that I don't know if I can ever see this actor again in anything else and not hate him for being so evil in such a banal role. Two minutes of watching him constantly call his wife "Mammy" ... it's honestly, just upsetting, because he is so realistic you want to kill him yourself or see to it that he dies.

This series walks the fine line between comedy, drama and tragedy so perfectly, I have to rate it a 10/10.

In your face and borderline offensive. I loved it. I had no expectations but after two episodes, I'm loving this series. Give it a try, you'll love it. Dark comedies with a tinge of drama are my favorites. A+!

I can't recommend Bad Sisters enough! It's hilarious, cute, sad, funny and shocking. It's a bit of everything! These sisters have a strong bond and will obviously do anything for each other. Even when it gets messy they stick together. Each has their own story and character growth but together it's the best entertainment. J. P. Is a real a-hole and you'll hate his character but also feel a bit sorry for him at times.

All the actors are incredible. I just love Eve Hewson, Sharon Horgan, Sarah Greene and Cleas Bang. Together they all make it look easy. The landscape it beautiful. Makes me want to go to Dublin. I highly recommend Bad Sisters and crossing my fingers there will be another season. It's so original and smart. Watch it. You won't regret it!!!!

The acting is convincing. Especially Claes Bang, from Denmark, playing the controlling bully.

The story has some red herrings to keep us guessing. There is enough action and humour to carry along what could have been very dark.

Bad Sisters is brilliantly realised in every detail, starting with its crackingly good script.

But it's also technically superb, with a great sound track and cinematography, coupled with really good locations.

The ensemble is terrific, clearly having a really good time with their material, and deliver plenty of laugh out loud moments, but quite capable of the requisite pathos essential for a show of this nature.

Bad Sisters is a true black comedy in every sense of the word - but a sympathetic one - with a rich vein of Irish humour that bubbles to the surface and keeps us invested in the Sister's fortunes. So even though the girls are up to no good, there's always the hanging question - 'but are they, really?' - cos we identify with their predicament and the judgements they're forming. So we all end up conflicted - brilliant!

If you're an overly sensitive male ie. You don't like it when the worst traits of male behaviour get exposed and a corresponding comeuppance, ... then you really need to watch this show and desensitize, it'll do you good and offer some perspective on how everyone else gets left in the wake of selfish male boorishness.

I'm cheering for the Sisters! Way-to-go!
