#Garvey sisters

[bamboopanda27]

One of the best things I've watched so far this year is Bad Sisters on Apple TV! It's funny, clever, unique, and truly engaging throughout the entire show. Plus, it has some great characters, with the Garvey sisters being especially amazing.

My Peak TV Journey *Bad Sisters*

(I have a lot of these started going back months. I"m going to try and quickly finish and post some soon, before the shows become a distant memory and while I decide if I want to write more about the ones that are continuing.)

I watched this because I still have warm fuzzy feeling towards Catastrophe and I saw Sharon Horgan was starring in it and show running it. While she shows are very different in subject, Sharon’s character here, Eva Garvey, had a different relationship to her family, but an equally troubling one with alcohol. And I’m interested in seeing 

If there was anything off putting it is that I am completely unfamiliar with the source series so trust on tricky subjects had to be earned.

I have to say that from the start I was surprised by how all the homes looked big and modern. It was distracting. Even later plot points about various financial insecurities didn’t make me wish I could go and visit those places. 

This is a really good show to watch with people, see how they react to things. John-Paul, the brother in law they eventually all conspire to kill,  is awful, but is he need to die awful or just need to give his wife, Grace, an intervention and try and convince her to leave him? (Eventually he is revealed to be worse than let on.) And the sisters are various kinds of bad. Bad with alcohol, anger, money management, and an affair. Their badness is  good complication to their motives. At first the various failed murder attempts don’t make the murder seem worth it. Bu the do make it feel necessary because it’s not like they can pretend that nothing happened. The moral squirming this show produces is riveting. Bibi, the first sister to suggest the killing, in particular is wrecked by the damage she does. 

I immediately recognized the “This pussy is mine” thing Ursula and her lover do from Gabriel García Marquez’s Love in the Time of Cholera. It ended badly there too. Why imitate it?

This is the kind of show where when recommending it you have to warn about the pet death! So many pet deaths.

I generally liked the Claffin Brothers, the insurance executive investigating the death for their own murky motives. Thomas had a sympathetic home life while being awful everywhere else. Matthew’s romance with Becka was fun and tense.

There is a second season, and I am not sure I want one. Sure all the messiness of the Garvey sisters and Claffin brothers lives remains unresolved. But this story feels over.

I know they released literally one (1) picture of Bad Sisters season 2 but I Don't Like The Vibes because Bibi's outfit is so out-of-character

thinking about the juxtaposition of the garvey girls. eva, who raised her sisters like a mother, can’t have children of her own. ursula, the nurse- a career dedicated to helping and healing-, has an affair that could ruin her family and supplies poison to her sisters. becka, the baby of the family whose innocence they all want to protect, ends up accidentally killing an innocent woman. bibi, arguably the most aggressive and vengeful of them all, views herself and her parenting poorly and shows severe guilt and remorse when she accidentally shoots a man’s eye out. and grace. grace, the pr!ck’s defender and apologist who views him through rose-colored glasses and is frequently depicted as weak, immediately calls him out on his sins and calls him a monster and ends up killing him in a physically and emotionally challenging act.

listen man I get that like Preston's game mechanics are incredibly annoying. but have you considered that he's incredibly hot???

okay in all seriousness though he has a very compelling story, and in general, the game quest mechanics suck. that ain't the fault of one character. I can elaborate if yall want

may the best bait win! propaganda under the cut

eva and gabriel:

they were really cute together and all their flirty build up actually had me, a known dyke, kind of rooting for them and then halfway through the show right in what's about to be a makeout scene they reveal he's gay lmfao. then they sleep together (platonically on different side of the covers) in his houseboat. iconic and i'm not mad about it but it was SO clearly calibrated to be straightbait and switch it was so funny like the cameras were WORKING for those lingering shots

team avatar 2.0:

it's that one meme where the guy ignores his girlfriend to check out another girl, only the two girls get to know each other and get together. S1/2 has love triangle drama between who Mako will be with (Korra or Asami). S3 no one is together but Korra and Asami become really close friends. S4 Korra and Asami are together. Mako is single. Like the only example of exes being good friends and Not getting back together, as well as giving the middle finger to heteronormative assumptions when after the love triangle is over, the two girls get together Shipping the two girls in a love triangle together but it actually happens You forgot about Bolin. LOK had a 4-way straight bait love quadrangle context from straightmod: korra briefly rebounded from mako with bolin. at the time, borra had been a thing in the fandom for a while, in addition to pretty much every combo of these four
