Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe) is one of the masterminds behind this Irish black comedy, which she also stars in. Based on the Flemish series Clan, the series follows four sisters who despise their brother-in-law John-Paul (Claes Bang) so much that they conjure up a series of plans to kill him and protect their sister Grace (Anne-Marie Duff). The story unravels in two timelines where one leads up to John-Paul's death and the other follows two insurance agents who suspect foul play.

Bad Sisters will return in season 2 to follow the lives of the Garvey sisters, Eva (Horgan), Grace, Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene), and Becka (Eve Hewson), who have since moved on from the "accidental death" of Grace's abusive husband. However, when past truths resurface and the close-knit sisters are propelled back into the limelight, the ladies are forced to work out who they can trust as suspicions, lies and secrets run rampant.

The new and returning cast includes: Fiona Shaw, Owen McDonnell, Thaddea Graham, Barry Ward, Michael Smiley, Saise Quinn, Daryl McCormack, Yasmine Akram, Jonjo O’Neill, Peter Claffey, Deirdre Mullins, Lorcan Cranitch, Liz Fitzgibbon, and Justine Mitchell.

The show has been described as an Irish iteration of one of the best Max shows Big Little Lies, from the plot to the cinematography and aesthetic, so now might be the best time to tuck in to this tasty treat of a dark comedy before your Christmas turkey!
