A few thoughts on Bad Sisters
This one thrives on family and dark comedy. Agatha Christie's Crooked House gathers a poisonous household around a single suspicious death, with everyone a suspect. The Godfather traces how loyalty and blood curdle into something dangerous. And Much Ado About Nothing shares the sharp sibling banter and scheming, minus the body count.
Ordinary people who turn to crime, played darkly funny
Bad Sisters draws its black comedy from decent people driven to plot one very bad man's death. These shows share that darkly funny moral slide, following teachers, mothers and mild suburbanites who cross a single line and keep going, from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul to the suburban dealing of Weeds.
A suspicious death cracks a family wide open
The Garvey sisters close ranks around a death nobody quite mourns, and the secret pulls at everyone. These dramas open a family the same way, letting one suspicious death or buried crime expose old loyalties and rot, from the Rayburns of Bloodline to Ireland's own tangled crime clans.
Women plotting against the men who underestimate them
At the heart of Bad Sisters is a sisterhood quietly deciding a cruel man has to go. These thrillers hand women the same nerve, plotting against the husbands, brothers-in-law and abusers who underestimate them, whether covering up a killing or slowly engineering a reckoning.
