If you want a crime drama that treats its mystery as more than a puzzle, The Better Sister is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video right now. A single, tightly-focused season means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. With 99 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch Jessica Biel work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason The Better Sister keeps coming up in conversation. At its heart, The Better Sister understands what makes crime drama work — character first, plot second. 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. The writing gets a boost from Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks, who sell every scene they're in. It was aired in 2025. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry scenes where the mystery takes a breath — The Better Sister passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

For anyone who wants their crime drama to earn its twists, The Better Sister delivers. The tonal similarities to 56 Days are real, though The Better Sister carves out its own identity quickly. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Jessica Biel anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.

The Better Sister wrapped up in 2025, created by Olivia Milch — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
