An absolutely brilliantly written series with great character development, acting twists and turns. A thoroughly fantastic watch. So sorry it's over!
Enjoyed every second. Get comfortable and enjoy the ride with this black comedy drama, with twists that will leave you reeling. Poignant moments that warm your heart and spirit with unexpected situations around every corner!
I don't want to give away any spoilers. But basically it's about a close family of sisters that find themselves in a series of unfortunate situations and they muddle through in a Gavey way. With some disasters along the way.
You will be mesmerised by the whole story every second of 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!

Absolutely brilliant drama, gripping from the get go, and also very witty with lovely writing.
The Irish setting is beautiful and beautifully shot too with lovely cinematography. The characters are hugely relatable and we feel their pain and root for them throughout.
The baddie is so bad and played so well that you are desperate for him to die and rooting for the women who may or may not have killed him.
Lovely performances from all the cast but especially the sisters who are utterly believable as a family and have wonderful chemistry together.
Wish this was all available to binge - the week on week wait is unbearable!

What a nasty piece of work is the brother-in-law, John Paul (a very effective portrayal from Claes Bang). You just want to kill him yourself! There is always one of those nasty horrible kinds in a family. So watching the sisters plot and enact Jean Paul's demise is such a pleasure in the most macabre way!
The magic is the relationship between the sisters that feels so authentic, the way they look out for one another and bounce of each other with convincing banter. I just want to be part of this wonderful twisted family. The extra bonus is the bumbling insurance half-brothers who add the entertaining value as they attempt to break the mysterious case open.
Haven't seen the Belgian version, but this UK remake looks like it's going to stand on its own, thanks to the performances, playful direction and a script that has so much on offer after the first two episodes, enough to get you addictive to this dark comedy thriller.
