The Better Sister, Prime Video
Starring Jessica Biel (The Sinner) and Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games) as very convincing estranged sisters who run in very different society circles, they’re forced back together after one of their husbands (expertly played by Corey Stoll from House of Cards with Robin Wright) is murdered, which exposes long-buried secrets. The detective in charge is played by the ever-thrilling Kim Dickens, formally a dectective in Gone Girl with the equally believable Rosamund Pike. Two talented female leads dominating the small screen? More of this, please.
