Nobody expected it. Those of you who have seen the series already know that the ending had a perfect wrap-up, with all the storylines wrapped up. At least that’s what we believed. We’re talking about “Sisters to Death”, one of the best series on Apple TV+. Filmed in Dublin, it is in fact an adaptation of another, the Belgian series “Clan”. The a priori plot is identical: five sisters have grown up very close since the untimely death of their parents. Like wolves, they protect themselves in a life that never ceases to generate complications.
The show is like mixing “Desperate Housewives” with “Six Feet Under.” Gossip and dark humor accompanied by deep humanity. And the depth with which each sister is written makes us empathize with each one within seconds, with each one’s doubts, rudeness or weaknesses. So, in a few weeks, the second season will begin, Wednesday November 13exclusively for Apple TV+. Just below you can see the presentation trailer.
What is “Sisters of Death”?
Of all the Apple TV+ bets, it’s safe to say that this one went well. It’s not just us saying it: Rotten Tomatoes reported a 100% approval rating for the first season. received the BAFTA for best drama seriesas well as a Best Supporting Actress award for Anne-Marie Duff, a Peabody and four Emmy nominations.
After the trailer, it’s already clear that some time has passed, two years after the “accidental death” of Grace’s abusive husband. It now appears that the Garvey sisters are living in peace. That’s the least we can say, because the lying machine doesn’t stop, and buried secrets begin to reveal themselves that make us reel. a friendship that always ends with a baptismal bath in the cold waters of Irelandthe Emerald Isle.
The series, featuring Sharon Horgan, Anne-Marie Duff, Eva Birthistle, Sarah Greene and Eve Hewson flirts once again with this mix of genres between black comedy and thriller, and this time with a large cast: Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), Owen McDonnell (Love and Ice Cream), Thaddea Graham (Doctor Who), Barry Ward (The End of the F*ing World), Michael Smiley (Luther), Saise Quinn (The Fall), Daryl McCormack (Good luck to you, Leo Grande), Yasmine Akram (Sherlock), Jonjo O’Neill (The Fall), Peter Claffey (Normal People), Deirdre Mullins (Man Down), Lorcan Cranitch (Bloodlands), Liz Fitzgibbon (Vikings: Valhalla) and Justine Mitchell (Cheat).
Recognized by the Writers Guild of America, the Critics Choice Awards, the Royal Television Society and the Irish Film and Television Awards, this wicked drama has an incredible ability to mutate and reveal its cards little by little to keep you hooked. But he does it subtly, without fuss or cheesy dialogue. Rather, out of humanism, by specifying that it is a series written and composed by women, without romanticizing anything. And that gives him an incredible inner truth..
At home, we’re already looking forward to devouring the next eight episodes, even if we’ll have to wait: the first two chapters arrive on November 3, followed by a new episode every Wednesday, so until December 25. What a Christmas Eve awaits us.
