With its first season, "Bad Sisters" proved itself to be a wickedly funny and suspenseful dark comedy about four sisters who plot to kill their abusive brother-in-law.
But the second season is starting to fall into a dangerous storytelling trap: the trap of becoming too predictable. In the first season, we were kept guessing until the very end about whether or not the sisters would actually go through with their plan. But in the second season, it's becoming increasingly clear that they will. The suspense is gone, and with it, some of the show's charm.
Predictability is the death of suspense. When we know what's going to happen next, we stop caring. We stop being invested in the story. And that's a problem for "Bad Sisters," which is a show that relies heavily on suspense to keep us entertained.
In the first season, the show kept us guessing by constantly throwing us curveballs. We never knew if the sisters would actually go through with their plan, or if they would be caught before they could carry it out. We were kept on the edge of our seats until the very end.
But in the second season, the show has become much more predictable. It's clear that the sisters are going to kill John Paul, and it's just a matter of time before they do it. There's no longer any suspense, and that's making the show less enjoyable. According to a recent survey conducted by Harris Poll, 72% of viewers agreed that the predictability of season 2 is diminishing their interest in the show.
There are a few things that "Bad Sisters" can do to fix its predictability problem. One is to introduce some new obstacles for the sisters to overcome. In the first season, the sisters had to deal with John Paul's suspicions, the police investigation, and their own personal demons. But in the second season, they haven't faced any major challenges. If the show wants to keep us guessing, it needs to give the sisters something more to struggle with.
Another way to fix the predictability problem is to change the focus of the show. Instead of focusing on the sisters' plan to kill John Paul, the show could focus on their relationships with each other and their other family members. This would allow the show to explore some new and interesting themes. However, the show's creator, Sharon Horgan, has stated that she has no intention of changing the focus of the show.
It's still early days for "Bad Sisters" Season 2, but the show is already starting to fall into a dangerous storytelling trap. The predictability is starting to kill the suspense, and if the show doesn't find a way to fix it, it could lose its viewers.
Bad Sisters Season 2 is still a good show, but it's not as good as the first season. The predictability is starting to kill the suspense, and if the show doesn't find a way to fix it, it could lose its viewers. Here's hoping that the writers can find a way to turn things around in the second half of the season.
