Bad Sisters (Ireland & US)

Bad Sisters (Ireland & US)

Set in Dublin, Bad Sisters is a creation of Sharon Horgan (Pulling), Dave Finkel (30 Rock), and Brett Baer (30 Rock). It's the story of five Irish sisters told in two timelines. The main timeline begins at the funeral of JP (Claes Bang), the husband of one of the sisters. Bang plays JP in the flashback timeline, which covers the years leading up to JP's death.

The script deftly interweaves the timelines in a way that never gets stale or trite. And the acting is top notch. This show is also advertisement for Dublin tourism and red wine. We drank a lot of red wine watching it, and many episodes ended with us saying, "We should go to Ireland." It's well done romp.
