The Good Daughter Review
*The Good Daughter* follows estranged lawyer sisters Sam and Charlie Quinn as they investigate a school shooting in their corrupt Georgia hometown. The six episode Peacock drama premieres on 12 November, and its family history and the sisters’ complicated bond give the crime mystery much of its emotional weight.
The review praises Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy for portraying sisters who are both sympathetic and difficult, while Brendan Gleeson plays their sharp witted father, Rusty. Teenager Kelly is arrested after a principal and a classmate are shot; Rusty takes up her case because he distrusts the town’s justice system, not because he believes she is innocent. The reviewer says the central mystery reaches a reasonable resolution, though the series sometimes leans on familiar crime drama conventions.
In short
- Two estranged sisters investigate a school shooting in their hometown.
- Byrne and Fahy’s performances anchor the family drama.
- The review praises its emotional depth despite familiar mystery tropes.
