Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks’ Prime Video Thriller ‘The Better Sister’ Quickly Loses the Plot: TV Review


In Prime Video's adaptation of "The Better Sister," Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks portray estranged sisters forced together by a shocking event.

However, as Chloe is interviewed by Detectives Nancy Guidry (Kim Dickens) and Matt Bowen (Bobby Naderi), it becomes increasingly apparent that the couple had many cracks in their picture-perfect facade. When Nicky comes bulldozing her way into town, and the police begin narrowing in on a suspect, the women are forced to confront the things they’ve tried to erase while managing the media circus surrounding them. From a serious threat linking back to a Jan. 6 Capitol rioter to Ethan’s obsession with a full-fledged medieval knight costume, these elements may have worked in Burke’s novel, but simply do not translate well on screen.
