Sharon Horgan and Anne-Marie Duff’s returning show is a worthy follow-up
As a dedicated fan of black comedies, I can confidently say that Bad Sisters has once again delivered a brilliant season two that not only meets but exceeds expectations. The creators have skillfully shifted the tone and depth of the show, making it darker yet still maintaining its signature humor.
If you found the ending of Season 1 of “Bad Sisters” to be perfect and can’t imagine what more there could be in a second season, hold tight as the new season delivers just as impressively.
Instead of the Garvey sisters’ failed attempts at killing John Paul (Claes Bang) being a misstep for the creators Sharon Horgan, Brett Baer, and Dave Finkel, they excel in season two by slightly altering the series’ tone. Following a short burst of joy, the creators decide to abandon humor as the main focus and introduce an unforeseen seriousness to the Apple TV+ series.
In comparison to the first season, the darker topics seem even more profound because of their subtle and sneaky qualities. However, don’t worry, the humor remains a part of it all, as we promised it wouldn’t disappear completely.
As a gamer, I found the humor in this game to be perfectly paced, fitting snugly within the intensely personal and emotionally charged storyline of season two. But fear not, it’s not all doom and gloom; the creators have ensured that there’s still plenty of laughter to be had – though you might find yourself chuckling more as the game progresses. This title isn’t just about drama, it’s a black comedy after all!
Whenever I’m around the Garvey sisters, chaos is never far behind! There’s always a sprinkle of humor here and there, thanks to their quirky personalities slipping up in the most unexpected moments.
If this doesn’t meet your expectations, don’t worry about it. You’ll likely be so engrossed in solving the newest puzzle and dealing with its heavy implications that you won’t have time to feel disappointed. The cast continues to captivate with their eccentric charm, working together to address a predicament they only seem to exacerbate with each action they take.
The personal struggles experienced by each character serve as catalysts for their individual growth, most notably Horgan’s Eva who strives for control over her body and future, yet continues to grapple with understanding what true fulfillment means for her. Similarly, Becka (Eve Hewson) grapples with her own introspective thoughts.
The recent additions to the cast bring freshness to the script, preventing it from becoming repetitive or clichéd. Fiona Shaw brilliantly portrays Roger’s (Michael Smiley) sister, the domineering and irritating Angelica Collins. She manages to captivate, bewilder, and aggravate in equal parts, creating an irresistible mix of intrigue that draws you in.
Detectives Thaddea Graham, known from “Doctor Who,” and Fergal Loftus (Barry Ward) step into the roles once held by the Claffin brothers, becoming new sources of trouble for the sisters. Their tense relationship intensifies the strain on the Garveys, with Houlihan, the young recruit, feeling compelled to demonstrate her abilities.
Graham’s character, Houlihan, is surprisingly irritating, yet she isn’t someone you’d instantly adore. However, there’s something about the way she acts that gives a peculiar satisfaction – a “I can’t help but love to hate you” kind of feeling.
In various aspects, the arrival of Ian Reilly (Owen McDonnell), Grace’s (Anne-Marie Duff)’s new partner, seems to have sparked a more seductive, bold, and assured persona within Grace.
This season, her character’s narrative hasn’t been the easy victory I felt she deserved following John Paul’s arc. Yet, the way she discovered her voice after the turmoil of season one, and how she’s been navigating her inner power, has been nothing short of rewarding for me as a gamer to witness.
Blanaid Quinn, referred to as Daughter, is quite a spectacle. She excels in portraying the unbearable attitude typical of a teenager, her glares carrying lethal intensity that surpasses even a Garvey’s. The adults around her elicit feelings of sympathy due to her biting wit, casually spitting out venom and then appearing puzzled when confronted, as if she doesn’t comprehend why they’re upset.
Her cutting quips have a blunt kind of humour that denotes far deeper unresolved issues.
You oscillate between sympathizing with the troubled teenager and finding yourself on the verge of shouting at the television screen, which can be attributed to the skillful portrayal of the character by Quinn.
By the finale, Blanaid seems to have some significant insights, yet regrettably, these moments don’t seem authentic because she wasn’t provided with enough on-screen time to develop and demonstrate these realizations in a convincing manner.
Even though there’s just one minor issue with the season, it’s nonetheless a worthy continuation. The plot twists seem more significant this time and the narrative evolves and grows in a realistic manner.
Is it up for debate whether there might be a third season? The ending seems conclusive, yet remember how uncertain we felt about season one, only to discover our assumptions were far from correct.
There might be a bit more to the Garveys’ story yet, even after their second season, as they tread carefully among others.
