BAD SISTERS

superb new Dark Comedy Nothing is black and white in this new comedy-thriller from Sharon Horgan, although its villain, played by Dracula’s Claes Bang, comes close. John-paul (Bang) is a vile husband and Horgan (above, second left), as one of his four sisters-in-law, isn’t sorry to attend his funeral as the story opens. The details of why are what compel us to watch the following episodes, which flash back across a six-month whirlwind of events. Of the rest of the cast, Anne-marie Duff (centre) is superb as John-paul’s wife, Grace, who he patronises constantly. Yet even she isn’t totally sympathetic, which is a mark of the show’s skill. Parts 1-2 from Friday then weekly, Apple TV+
