As her AppleTVPlus limited series drops its anticipated final episode, SharonHorgan reflects on straddling comedy and tragedy.

The story revolves around the five Garvey sisters; Eva , Becka , Ursula , Bibi and Grace . Four of them spend the first nine episodes of the series attempting to murder JP , the evil, abusive husband of Grace, who is withering under the strain of the relationship. The series opens with JP’s funeral and unfolds in flashback.are two insurance adjuster brothers who are trying to get out of paying JP’s life insurance claim by proving his death was no accident.

At the moment Horgan is preparing to direct a movie; she is also writing another comedy, which she has described as Linklater-esque. Meanwhile, Starz’s Courteney Cox thriller “Shining Vale,” which she cocreated with Jeff Astrof, is in production on season two. As to whether there will be a second season of “Bad Sisters,” Horgan stresses that it was conceived as a limited series.

WWD: It does have elements of a thriller. But at times it’s also a very dark emotional drama, particularly as it depicts and discusses domestic abuse. How did you navigate that?I feel very jaded about watching dramas where the woman is victim, or crime dramas where the woman is murdered and that is entertainment. And I’m even more jaded with the idea of the sort of sexy abuser, the attractive rapist. I was nervous about all of that.

WWD: There’s also a lot of drinking. And some of the drinking is to numb pain. Were you worried about depicting characters drinking too much?Weirdly, it was something that got talked about a lot initially. When I started going into Eva’s character more we worried about it [being] a trope. Sometimes it [alcohol] seems like a treat or a lovely sociable thing and sometimes it really isn’t.
