Bad Sisters season two, episode two is a comedown after the euphoria of season one.
Warning: spoilers for the first two episodes ofBad Sistersseason two.
The final image ofBad Sistersseason onewas unabashed joy.
Now that she was free of him and his violent, coercive control, she could finally swim again.
The final image ofBad Sistersseason two, episode two feels like a baffling betrayal of that happy ending.
To kill off Grace in the same way not two years after she finally returned to life?
The world can be that cruel, but does TV drama have to be too?
Perhaps Grace will survive the accident and the Garvey sisters will, eventually, be whole again.
Whatever punishment Grace did or didnt deserve, it wasnt this.
Abusers know to home in on people whove been hurt before.
Sisterhood was its enduring theme.
With that canker in their family tree cut out, the Garveys could get on with living.
Renewal for another run meant that more drama needed to be cooked up, and it duly has been.
Is that Ians body wrapped in Beckas cow-print Oodie?
Is it unhinged oddball Angelica, played wonderfully byFiona Shaw?
The next seven episodes will tell.
Everything was shaping up for another exhilarating go-around with the Garveys… and then Graces accident happened.
As were her sisters, and her perhaps now-orphaned daughter.
The cause of Graces accident is an additional source of pain.
It showed that kindness existed for Grace, if only she could defeat the monster in her life.
The Roger of season two is a changed man.
Haunted by guilt and a heavy drinker, hes been turned into a creeper.
Season two isnt all souring the resolutions of season one.
But then theres that car crash.
Lets hope it can.
Bad Sistersseason 2 continues on Wednesday November 20 on Apple TV+
