Synopsis
Cinco mujeres exitosas, bellas y tremendamente competitivas acuerdan participar en un reality show ambientado en la ciudad de Nueva York llamado Goal Diggers. Los ejecutivos de la cadena esperan que el programa esté lleno de pequeños agravios, viciosos ataques, chismorreos… minucias. Lo que no pueden imaginar es que la segunda temporada del reality acabe en asesinato. Cada una de las cinco mujeres oculta algo oscuro a los espectadores, a los productores y entre ellas mismas. Y ante un cadáver nada desean más que mantener ocultos esos secretos. La hermana favorita ofrece una mirada incisiva de las presiones a las que se enfrentan las mujeres en la actualidad, incluida una mordaz crítica a los lazos de hermandad femenina que a menudo se ensalzan y a la implacable presión social y capitalista por mantenerse siempre joven, relevante, en definitiva, vendible.
When five hyper-successful women agree to appear on a reality series set in New York City called Goal Diggers, the producers never expect the season will end in murder…Brett’s the fan favorite. Tattooed and only twenty-seven, the meteoric success of her spin studio—and her recent engagement to her girlfriend—has made her the object of jealousy and vitriol from her castmates. Kelly, Brett’s older sister and business partner, is the most recent recruit, dismissed as a hanger-on by veteran cast. The golden child growing up, she defers to Brett now—a role which requires her to protect their shocking secret. Stephanie, the first black cast member and the oldest, is a successful bestselling author of erotic novels. There have long been whispers about her hot, non-working actor-husband and his wandering eye, but this season the focus is on the rift that has opened between her and Brett, former best friends—and resentment soon breeds contempt.
The Favorite Sister explores the invisible barriers that prevent women from rising up the ranks in today’s America—and offers a scathing take on the oft-lionized bonds of sisterhood, and the relentless pressure to stay young, relevant, and salable.
