Take one glance at the impressive list of TV shows Sharon Horgan has crafted, from 2006’s Pulling to 2015’s Catastrophe to 2022’s Shining Vale, and it’s evident that she has a knack for writing impeccably relatable, empathetic, and flawed characters. Her skills are fully on display in Bad Sisters, the dramedy she created with Dave Finkel and Brett Baer as part of her recent deal with Apple.Bad Sisters Season 1 Download
The series finale arrives October 14.Bad Sisters is an Ireland-set mystery comedy based on the Flemish series Clan. It’s about four Garvey sisters—Eva (Horgan), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene), and Becka (Eve Hewson)—who plot the murder of their brother-in-law, John Paul, a.k.a. The Prick (Claes Bang). John Paul is a manipulative misogynist who ruined the life of their fifth sibling, his wife Grace (Anne-Marie Duff). In its final episode, Bad Sisters reveals how JP died and who killed him. Was it really the Garvey bunch, as suspected by the life insurance investigators? Yes and no. The episode, titled “Saving Grace,” reveals it was ultimately Grace who ended her husband’s life after realizing the true monster he is. The A.V. Club spoke to Horgan about the potential for a second season, changes she made to the script from Clan, and crafting a horrible character like John Paul.n a writers’ room, you discuss every bit or version of what could happen. So we definitely had conversations about it, but that’s it. We did modify it a little from the original with the final reveal about Roger helping Grace out. To me, it felt like an extra satisfying twist. With the original, I didn’t quite believe she’d have the strength to do it on her own for practical reasons as well. I love to tie up as many ends as possible with a story like this, and it didn’t feel like Roger’s story was done. He ended up becoming such an important character for Grace. I think it was an oddly beautiful moment between them.
