The Better Sister is my last Fiji catch up series.
The limited series created by Olivia Milch, starring Jessica Biel & Elizabeth Banks, is on the 2019 novel by Alafair Burke.
This eight episode murder mystery, landed last May. Also starring, Corey Stoll, Bobby Naderi, Kim Dickens & Maxwell Acee Donovan.
So what's the series about? Well the terrible things that drive sisters apart and ultimately bring them back together. Chloe (Biel), a high-profile media executive, lives a picturesque life with her handsome lawyer husband Adam (Stoll) & teenage son Ethan (Acee Donovan) by her side while her estranged sister Nicky (Banks) struggles to make ends meet and stay clean.
When Adam is brutally murdered, the prime suspect sends shockwaves through the family, reuniting the two sisters, as they try to untangle a complicated family history to discover the truth behind his death.
It gets a little sister wives realness, with the two estranged sisters, one married to and the other divorced from the same man, are forced together after he is murdered. However there is a positive score to report on, Rotten Tomatoes. So far it has reported a 70% approval rating! Not bad. Albo, Ley or the mad redhead from QLD would love that approval rating in the polls.
So if you have watched a Liane Moriarty series, you would possibly be able to see where this series is headed. Even early on it gives Big Little Lies and other recent miniseries vibes early on.
However Biel and Banks are great as the two, very different sisters!
I am not sure why my May was so busy that I let this one slide past me. However, like all the series I caught up on in Fiji, this was a good, easy watch. Down Cemetery Road was possibly my favourite series of my Fiji binge period.
Well it's back to reality tomorrow. I do however have HBO's whacky series, It's Florida, Man second season to catch up on. The finale for the second season streamed recently. Ahead of HBO's stacked January line up. Industry returns, whilst a new Game of Thrones spin-off commences shortly. News that a second season of Mare of Eastown is set to be filmed in 2027, shows HBO not only have a strong 2026 planned, but next year is stacked too.
Thus far True Detective, The Last of Us and possibly The White Lotus heading to France, will all stream in 2027. Alongside Mare of Eastown, that's a solid ass line up!
See you soon. BYE!
