These popular shows came back with new episodes. Here’s what we thought and where you can watch them.

Bad Sisters - Season 2

Keywords: dark comedy-drama, whodunnit mystery, Irish
Watch if you like: Dead to Me, Fargo, Catastrophe
Jenni’s Rating: A-

Usually, the return of a great show is cause for celebration. But when that show was originally intended as a one-and-done, 10-episode miniseries, there’s room for concern about what comes next.

Season 1 of Bad Sisters was perfectly self-contained and tonally glorious. The split-timeline, whodunnit revenge mystery didn’t just deliver suspense; it also explored the loyalty, dark humor, and moral boundaries of the tight-knit Garvey sisters. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t be offended if you stop reading in the middle of this sentence to go watch.

Season 2 picks up two years later, with the Garvey sisters finally moving on and inching toward happiness—until, of course, a new body discovered in a lake puts them all back under scrutiny. This time, there’s a gnawing sense of hopelessness that seems to shadow the sisters. While the first season balanced its suspense and darkness with biting wit and glowing, sisterly chemistry, these new episodes feel much weightier.

Despite my trepidation, two episodes in, there’s still enough of that trademark Bad Sisters magic to keep me hooked. The performances, as ever, are anchoring the story, and some early, unexpected twists keep the tension high, making me cautiously optimistic about where the story might lead. It’s hard to know if Season 2 will match the original’s finesse, but for now, I'm in.

Somebody Somewhere

Keywords: comedy-drama, self-discovery, heartwarming
Watch if you like: Please Like Me, Master of None, After Life
Jenni’s Rating: B+

Somebody Somewhere, currently in its third and final season, is a funny, beautifully understated, and semi-autobiographical series about self-discovery and acceptance.

Comedian Bridget Everett stars as 40-something-year-old Sam, who returns home to Kansas to help care for her dying sister, Holly. The series begins a few months after Holly's death, when Sam is relearning how to survive daily drudgeries punctuated by the pain of loss. It’s rough going until she meets Joel, a kindred spirit who welcomes her into his community of fellow misfits.

With Joel’s encouragement, Sam rediscovers her love for singing, which then becomes a transformative outlet. Through this passion, she connects with more people who are similarly working to carve out spaces for self-expression in a seemingly rigid world.

Somebody Somewhere moves at a gentle pace, but despite its quiet nature, quickly becomes addictive. I found myself pulled in, almost without realizing, until I was halfway through the first season. The “slow burn” allows time to appreciate Sam’s struggles and growth as she grapples with her identity in a place that has always felt limiting. Kansas is her home, but it’s a place where she’s always felt slightly out of place, bound by expectations she’s unwilling to conform to.

Above all, Somebody Somewhere is a show about finding your people and going for a laugh even when you feel you’ve been punched in the gut. It’s full of positivity without ever becoming cloying, and balances humor with poignancy in a way that leaves a lasting impact.

Length: 30-min runtime, 3 seasons / 3 of 7 episodes in Season 3 available, new on Sundays
