‘Did she lose her mind?’ Sharon Horgan explains her turn to the dark side

LA Times  

When “Catastrophe” came to an end three years ago, Sharon Horgan was bereft. “At some point, people are gonna go, ‘Well, it’s versions of the same thing.’”. “I was getting nervous about repeating myself,” Horgan said of “Bad Sisters’” tonal departure from her previous projects. “At some point, people are gonna go, ‘Well, it’s versions of the same thing.’” How did you approach casting “Bad Sisters”? Television Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan bring their funny, unflinching ‘Catastrophe’ to an end Even for a show that has been unflinching in its depiction of marriage and family life, the fourth and final season of “Catastrophe,” which premieres Friday on Amazon, goes to some uniquely dark places.

They had me with the opening credits. The latest, and most delicious, Apple TV+ original series Bad Sisters — an Ireland-set remake of the Belgian dark comedy Clan — starts out with a Rube Goldberg machine, all hatchets and eyeballs and blessedly impractical machinations, all set to PJ Harvey singing Leonard Cohen’s Who By Fire. Harvey’s version is fittingly more …
