THE EIGHT-PART SERIES HAS RECEIVED STELLAR REVIEWS ALREADY 07:57, 31 May 2025 New thriller The Better Sister aired on Amazon Prime this week and has had viewers "glued" to their TV


screens. The eight-part series is a dramatic adaptation of Alafair Burke's 2019 novel of the same name. It explores the murder of magazine executive Chloe's (Jessica Biel) husband


Adam (Corey Stoll) which leads into a tense whodunnit. Chloe reunites with her sister Nicky (Elizabeth Banks) and they find themselves tangled within a complicated family history to find


the killer. On Amazon Prime, the show description reads as: "Chloe moves in New York's most elite circles with her lawyer husband Adam and teenage son Ethan by her side while her


estranged sister Nicky tries to make ends meet and stay clean. When Adam is brutally murdered, the investigation sends shockwaves through the family and exposes long-buried secrets."


Despite its hard-hitting central theme, the show is underlined by Chloe and Aaron's luxurious lifestyle in a Manhattan apartment. Viewers learn there is something a lot darker behind


the glitz and the glamour of their life in New York. Fans have rushed to social media after binge-watching the series. One said: #TheBetterSister on #Prime is so GOOD!!! Binge it" while


a second wrote: "Ahhh found another banger #TheBetterSister." More added to the conversation on X: "Omg I love a good series! #TheBetterSister just had me glued all


day!!!", "On 2nd episode and THIS IS BAT-CRAZY!!! Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks are intense and both at edge. Great show so far! Highly recommended!" Another said:


"I'm almost done (already on 1x07) and holy moly. The revelations are insane! I mean part of me somehow knew it was going that way but wow. Editing and sound mixing btw


10/10." The Guardian has also praised the show. Rachel Aroesti wrote: "This is a highly functional whodunnit, thanks to a shoal of red herrings and a twist that is initially


unguessable." Article continues below Rachel also nodded to the show's appeal as drama set in New York city. She said: "This is partly an excuse to fill the screen with


beautiful views, luxe interiors and gorgeous clothes – elite home comforts that somehow comfort the viewer too." THE BETTER SISTER IS AVAILABLE TO WATCH ON PRIME VIDEO.
