The novel hook of the original was that we desperately wanted these women to get away with murder; any sequel would have to entertain the depressing prospect that they didn't manage to.
In the case of Bad Sisters, it's cause for a fair amount of scepticism and a sliver of hope. The Dublin-set whodunnit left viewers on a high note.
Bad Sisters worked exceptionally well as a one-off, managing to pepper a profound study of coercive control with hilarity; it finished with a punch of cosmic justice.
Bringing back Bad Sisters was always going to be a big ask: the original story was so self-contained, the sequel's premise struggles to match its brilliance.
