Bad Sisters season two is a darker, more serious look at sisterhood

The second series of Bad Sisters starts in the dark of the night. Four women sit in a car at the edge of some cliffs, panicking, arguing, shouting at each other. We are back with the Garvey sisters, two years on from where the first season had ended.

Set in and around Dublin, the “bad sisters” of the title are the Garveys: Eva (Sharon Horgan), Ursula (Eva Birthistle), Bibi (Sarah Greene), Becka (Eve Hewon) and Grace (Anne-Marie Duff). The first series followed the tight-knit sisters, kitted out in glorious knitwear, and ended with the death of Grace’s coercive husband John Paul (Claes Bang).

The sisters are still very close, cloyingly so at times, always in each other’s houses, lives and pockets. And we find that there is a new man, Ian (Owen McDonnell), in Grace’s life now.
