His Before film trilogy, which tracked the relationship between Jesse and Céline's relationship, began with 1995 romantic film Before Sunrise. Their communication style was partly inspired by Richard Linklater's work. Then you can go wherever it wants," she explains.īelow, Horgan tells EW what has inspired some of her most popular shows, like Catastrophe, Shining Vale, and now Bad Sisters.Ĭatastrophe fans loved the humorous verbal jousting of characters Rob and Sharon. "Even if it's sci-fi, murder mystery, or horror or comedy, for me, it has to be relatable.

Bad Sisters is the most recent example of Horgan's ability to infuse comedy into other genres - she also worked on the recent horror-comedy series Shining Vale.įor Horgan, blending genres is all about making sure the storytelling is grounded. "It felt like the kind of thing I love to do, which is to cross the dark with the light, but it also felt like something I could make my own," she explains. After watching the pilot, she decided she was in.
"I had never adapted anything and I'd never written a murder mystery before, or a thriller, and it just all felt a bit scary," Horgan shares. Horgan landed on the adaptation after Apple approached her following the end of the beloved comedy Catastrophe. The new Apple TV+ comedy-thriller, which is based on the Belgian series Clan, follows a group of five siblings who plot the murder of their abusive brother-in-law. Of course, now we have French-Turkish director Deniz Gamze Ergüven’s Mustang, which may not be as overt as Wadjda but is no less eye-opening in terms of the varieties of perspectives so often ignored in order to confirm certain biases.For comedy talent Sharon Horgan, taking on Bad Sisters was a new challenge. Before I saw the film at the center of this review, the only other one that really came to mind is Haifaa al-Mansour’s 2012 film Wadjda, hailing from Saudi Arabia – a truly great story about a young girl who dreams of owning a bicycle, which is frowned upon for women in their society.
You’d think that such a thing wouldn’t be a rarity, given the widespread attention of, for example, Malala Yousafzai, who you may recall was nearly assassinated for her outspoken views on educational rights for women, but the rarity is still sadly the truth. This doesn’t hold up for me, though, as there are always exceptions, and, more importantly, there are also women who should be allowed to tell their own stories about growing up in their own culture without our presuppositions clouding our judgment. Needless to say, there are certain stereotypes that exist, particularly (and often ironically) in the minds of non-Muslims, regarding Muslim women. What does it mean to be a young woman in a Muslim community? I obviously cannot answer this myself, being a Christian male who grew up in a predominately Christian culture in America, but it’s nonetheless something that has actually crossed my mind a few times.
