» Years after the Fifty Shades trilogy dominated pop culture, erotic thrillers have become a rarer breed. The genre hasn't disappeared entirely -- last year's breakout hit The Housemaid, starring Sydney Sweeney, proved there's still an appetite for stories that blend sex, suspense and psychological danger -- but they don't arrive as frequently as they once did.

» The Better Sister is the kind of show that proves that even with a stellar cast, a gripping premise and polished production, there's no guarantee it will deliver a consistently entertaining experience.
