The Better Sister

The Better Sister

The Better Sister

As the series starts, a woman (Jessica Biel) finds her husband (Corey Stoll) murdered in their home. Soon after, her somewhat estranged sister (Elizabeth Banks) shows up. While they try to piece together the truth behind the crime, they struggle to piece their relationship back together. This involves way too much sister-centric dialogue to the point of boredom/frustration. The murder case is moderately interesting with some mild surprises, but the continual sideline of the familial conflict always holds sway. The performances are fine with Banks enjoying her bad girl character. This is yet another series that might have been a tight, tense 4-part thriller, but the wasted subplots and endless talk doom this series to mediocracy. (8 one-hour eps) 2 out of 5 stars (2 / 5)
