Plot Entitled “Rest in Peace”, Bad Sisters Ep 7 is a bit of a mixed bag as the Garvey sisters pick up the pieces of yet another failed murder attempt (in the past, of course). In the present, Thomas and Matt, the insurance company owners out to prove John Paul’s death was not caused by natural causes and therefore not claimable under the life insurance policy, finally get what they want – the exhumation of John Paul’s body for an post mortem. What will they find there?
Bad Sisters Ep 7 also provides a plot twist (from the past) which was probably needed as the flashback narrative had hit the wall somewhat. And it’s a dum zinger! Becka snoops around John Paul’s mother’s basement and finds a freezer with John Paul’s dead father George preserved inside! What could all that possible mean? Is John Paul a murderer? Is his mother? So many questions!
Characters John Paul continues to be the biggest douche bag but that characterisation is wearing thin so Becka’s discovery is priceless in adding another dimension to John Paul’s toxic masculinity. Thomas and Matt have a reconciliation but that impacts negatively on his relationship with Becka. Ursula is confront by her husband about her missing family time and of course, her adultery weighs heavy on her mind but she seems unable to do anything about this, making her quite unlikable.
The Final Analysis Bad Sisters Ep 7 is a middling episode but considering the high bar set in the series still makes the episode very watchable. Still recommended!

The Great is a 10-episode historical drama cum black comedy series loosely based on the life of Catherine the Great, Empress of All Russia from 1762 until 1796.

Nominated for a total of nine Oscars, Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is surrealist black comedy at its best. Mocking the artifice of celebrity and the entertainment industry, Birdman is a fascinating inside look into the absurd insanity of entertainment world as perceived by its protagonist, Riggan Thomson.
Directed by Lenny Abrahamson Written by Jon Ronson & Peter Straughan Starring Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scott McNairy and Michael Fassbender.
What is music? A business? Yes, certainly but what about art? Of course, but sometimes music is life and there’s nothing more. For Jon (Gleeson), music is the ticket out of his mundanity as he dreams of becoming a professional pop songwriter.
Then rather serendipitously Jon ends up playing keyboards in the experimental outfit Soronprfbs, fronted by the enigmatic Frank (Fassbender) who wears a papier-mâché head 24/7. Despite his seemingly best intentions, Jon attempts to use the Soronprfbs – and especially Frank – to further his own agenda to be a successful musician.
Along the way, manager Don (Scott McNairy) and band colleague Clara (Gyllenhaal) try to dissuade Jon from setting Frank down the road to public acceptance but Jon is undaunted, with predictably disastrous consequences.
Taking inspiration from real life quirky musical geniuses like Captain Beefheart, Daniel Johnston and most of all, Chris Sievey’s Frank Sidebottom persona, Frank is a superbly dark comic take on contemporary pop culture’s need to flatten any unique idiosyncrasy into compliant uniformity.
For everyone who believes that pop music needs to remain strange and magical, this one’s for you.
