The Hulu comedy Such Brave Girls is a critically acclaimed British import that many viewers may have missed. The wildly funny and chaotic series follows a dysfunctional family as its members grapple with mental health issues, relationship drama, financial troubles, and lingering abandonment issues. With its bleak, biting, and often cringe-inducing humor, the show features largely unlikable protagonists and a premise that pushes the boundaries of the comedy genre.
A significant part of the show’s success is the phenomenal on-screen chemistry between its stars, Kat Sadler and Lizzie Davidson. The real-life siblings, who portray sisters Josie and Billie, share a dynamic that is at once charming, bizarre, and hilariously cutting. An exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette from Hulu showcases this unique rapport, and while it may be an unconventional promotion, it perfectly encapsulates the appeal of both the series and its leads.
Reflecting the show’s offbeat reputation, the interview is conducted almost entirely in a bathtub. For viewers of the series, the setting is significant; the bathroom serves as a key location for heartfelt confessions, reveals of deep-seated anxiety, and numerous poor decisions. Embracing the unusual setting, the stars ask each other questions rarely posed by journalists, covering topics from their worst school haircuts to which parent favored which sibling.
The dry wit that defines the series is on full display, with Sadler and Davidson shining as the line between their real-life personalities and their on-screen characters blurs. Many of their answers could easily be mistaken for dialogue from the show, highlighting their natural comedic timing.
Seasons 1 and 2 of Such Brave Girls are now streaming on Hulu.
