Ahead of the premiere of season two, which drops on November 13 on Apple TV, here’s your chance to catch up on the first season of one of, if not the best, season of television from 2022: Bad Sisters.
I haven’t mentioned it until now because I just assume everyone already knows about it and loves it as much as I do, but I realize that may be a little narcissistic, so I now take the opportunity to reach those of you who have not yet discovered this true gem of a show.
Bad Sisters is a dark comedy set in Ireland about five adult sisters who were orphaned at a young age and have grown up extraordinarily bonded. Because of this bond, they are perhaps
a bit more protective of each other than they should be, so much so that they feel the need to protect one of their own from an abusive husband, even if it means killing him. Well, maybe not killing him. Well, maybe it does. Or maybe it doesn’t. Well, you’ll just have to watch.
I really don’t know why I’ve slept on Danny McBride for so long. As a baseball lover, everyone has told me I should watch McBride’s first series, Eastbound and Down, which ran on HBO for four seasons, from 2009 to 2013, developing a huge cult following. And, as an even bigger fan of Walton Goggins, I should have already been on board for McBride’s second HBO series, Vice Principals, which ran for 2 seasons in 2016 and 2017, which starred McBride and Goggins as two high school vice principals competing for the top job. But no, for some reason I instead let both of those series pass me by without any interest at all. There was just something about McBride that didn’t appeal to me–his comedy just wasn’t my cup of tea. Or so I thought.
