The Garvey sisters are at it again: A twisty ride through ‘Bad Sisters’ Season 2

As the snow piles up outside and the chill of winter sets in, a common pastime in our house is keeping up with the latest TV shows.

Here’s why we think it’s a solid pick to add to your list of shows to check out.

The Office Australia: A mixed bag of nostalgia and novelty

I love The Office. Whether it is the original starring Ricky Gervais or the surprising US version starring Steve Carel, I could not get enough.

As the 13th adaptation of the iconic series originally created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, this version attempts to carve out its own identity while paying homage to its predecessors. Here’s a look at what makes it stand out and where it falls short.
