The Dublin based dark comedy series that audiences are loving at the moment

A new Apple TV+ series has been receiving audience and critical appraisal since it premiered on the streaming service in August, and it's set in Dublin.

The black comedy series follows five Garvey sisters who are a tight-knit bunch bound by the premature death of their parents.

When their brother in law, who they are far from fond of, winds up dead, his life insurance company launches an investigation to prove there was malicious intent behind his death and the Garvey women are their focus.

The series stars Sharon Horgan, Eve Hewson, Sarah Greene, Anne-Marie Duff and Eva Birthistle as the five sisters.

Dublin viewers will likely recognise some of the backdrops of the show, including areas such as Malahide, Howth and the Forty Foot, with the latter playing an important role in the series according Sharon Horgan.

Viewers have been spotting familiar spots while watching the show. One person tweeted "Pedestrianised Malahide looking beautiful in #BadSisters" alongside still of the village at night as seen in the series.

Another Twitter user spotted Gibneys, Fingal County Council and Swords/Malahide Estuary while watching the show.

Another joked: "I think the forty foot should get upgraded to main cast considering how much it appears so far in the series."

One person tweeted: "Not only is #BadSisters deliciously dark, but you get a wonderful tour around North Dublin. I didn't expect to see Fingal County Council on Apple TV!"

Parts of the show were also filmed in Belfast and parts of Northern Ireland.

The show has been getting huge praise from audiences. In fact, it currently sits at a 100 per cent score on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.9/5 on Google.

"The puzzle is compulsive but the real attraction in Bad Sisters is how it makes you want to be a Garvey sister," wrote one reviewer.

Another said: "An instantly addictive Irish delight...

"It isn't merely the central murder-mystery that lures viewers in — and the comic way the series cycles through the Garveys' schemes — but also the show's wonderful leading ladies."
