The multitalented Sharon Horgan returns this week in Bad Sisters, a comedy-thriller series about a group of siblings who may (or may not) have murdered an obnoxious family member. You can stream it from Friday (August 19) on Apple TV+. Like so many of her shows, Horgan also wrote Bad Sisters, so we're taking a look back at her other hits as a writer – including a couple that she didn't actually appear in. 
1. Pulling (2006-2008)
Horgan co-wrote and starred in this edgy BBC sitcom about three single women living in trendy East London. She told The Guardian in 2009 that she created Pulling with Dennis Kelly to put women front and center of a comedy show. "There was nothing out there for me; I had to give myself a break!" Horgan said. "Peep Show has very funny female characters but they're generally girlfriends or incidental women who are just helping the story along."

2. Angelo's (2007)
Set in an old-school London "caff" run by Angelo (Steve Brody), this ensemble sitcom is well worth seeking out. In addition to writing all six episodes, Horgan plays Karen, an exasperated local cop who's one of Angelo's most loyal customers. Some of his other regulars are, shall we say, a little eccentric: Miranda Hart has a terrific supporting role as a taxi driver who's always looking for her next date.

3. Dead Boss (2012)
Horgan co-wrote and starred in this underrated BBC sitcom, which sadly only lasted one season. She plays Helen, a straitlaced young woman who is falsely imprisoned for murdering her boss. Even her own sister won't help because while Helen's banged up, she's moved into her flat and taken her job. The comedy stems from Horgan's attempts to navigate life inside, find out who really killed her boss, and avoid annoying a tough prison governor played by Jennifer Saunders.

4. Catastrophe (2015-2019)
Horgan teamed up with Rob Delaney for this addicting sitcom that could flip between sweet and salty in an instant. She plays Sharon, a London schoolteacher who becomes pregnant after a fling with Delaney's Rob, an ad exec visiting from Boston. They decide to give the relationship a go for the sake of the baby, leading to a steep (and hilarious) learning curve. Poignantly, season three's final episode is dedicated to the late Carrie Fisher, who co-starred as Rob's mom. 

5. Motherland (2016-present)
Horgan doesn't appear in this BAFTA-winning sitcom, but she co-wrote every episode of the first two seasons and serves as an executive producer. Starring Anna Maxwell Martin, Lucy Punch, and Diane Morgan, it follows a group of competitive and passive-aggressive middle-class moms living in a fancy part of North London. In the U.S., you can watch it on SundanceTV; just don't expect a remotely sentimental portrayal of parenting.

6. Divorce (2016-2019)
Many of Horgan's shows are set in London, where she lives, but Divorce proved she could cross the Atlantic in style. Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church star as a middle-aged couple who, as the title suggests, are in the process of getting divorced. Horgan created and wrote several episodes of the dark-leaning comedy-drama, which really shows off her flair for exploring awkward truths in human relationships.
