	Media	Author	Review
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"From the get-go, this extremely well-acted and darkly hilarious series has an addictively wicked appeal (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Lauren Chval AV Club	"Quibbles aside, the show is a rush of dark wit and fierce familial love"
		Valerie Ettenhofer The Playlist	"It’s a good show, and an impressive entry into Horgan’s filmography (...) It offers gutsy humor, great performances, and a deeply interesting premise"
		Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"Sharon Horgan’s 'Bad Sisters' is an absolute delight. Believable and engaging characters, a truly deplorable villain, witty humor, and a whip-smart script – this is class filmmaking (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Phil Harrison The Guardian	"Anne-Marie Duff and Sharon Horgan star in a deliciously dark comedy, while Bruce Banner’s cousin offers up a neat twist on an old classic"
		Emma Fraser IGN	"From its first episode, the mystery at the center is as gripping as the Garvey sisters are compelling. The dialogue cuts to the core of the heavy themes, but humor is never too far away (...) [it] offers something different"
		E.L. Meszaros CBR	"[It] is a showcase of women's strength and resilience but also a macabre delight and a must-watch for fans of stories about murder, mayhem, and badass women"
		Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"The series’ women are written incredibly well and portrayed with humor and heart—the excellent cast shines in individual scenes and when they are together"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The conclusion is not unpredictable, and, really, all the more satisfying for being so (...) Its characters — barring the dead one — are reaching for the light, and the talented cast makes them easy to love"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"Beyond the smart construction and tart dialogue (...) it succeeds because the five lead actresses convince us that they’re a family unit, sometimes for worse but mostly for better"
		Caroline Framke Variety	"What keeps this version afloat and makes it more singular is its finely honed (and extremely Irish) sense of humor"
		Olly Richards Time Out	"One of Horgan’s best, 'Bad Sisters' manages to be both a clever murder-mystery and a hilarious farcical comedy, played by an absolutely killer cast (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Judy Berman Time	"At one point, the show turns a corner from darkly comic to full-on macabre and nearly goes off the rails. When we get to the finale, it doesn’t come as much of a surprise. And yet, I never stopped having fun"
		Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"The resolution is largely satisfying — a bit overblown, perhaps, but definitely not Bad"
		Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"All the actors playing the Garvey sisters are excellent, and they make the sometimes prickly, but always loving, five-way family rapport endlessly enjoyable to watch"
		Marianka Swain Telegraph	"The series is strong on family dynamics and has a compelling villain, but is guilty of too many generic crime drama tropes (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] is entertaining enough to binge, but it’s too empty to truly satisfy"
		Joy Press Vanity Fair	"The show hurtles forward with a manic propulsiveness. It delivers what contemporary streaming demands: narrative franticity and cliffhangerism of the sort that compels viewers to binge"
