The Better Sister: Miniseries

"An over-extended movie that nobody would make as a movie."

"The supporting cast and thematic webs weaved by the characters on the outside of what becomes both a family and media circus."

"Starts out being stupid and obvious and eventually make fun of the stupid and the obvious, all the while upscaling its own genre."

"Wastes too much time on boring subplots to truly explore them with the nuance they deserve."

"A compelling thriller that delves into the complexities of family and the secrets that can either destroy them or bind them together irrevocably."

"Despite good performances and good sisterly tension between Biel and Banks, it’s going to be more of an exercise in frustration."

"For all its storytelling sins, the series skirts the most damning one of them all: It’s not boring."

"Buckles under the weight of the novel from which it’s adapted..."

"Despite its electric premise, which includes murder, secrets, affairs and a high-profile trial, the show is underwhelming."
