Five siblings bond over a family tragedy in Bad Sisters. The new murder mystery on Apple TV+ is a whirlwind of dark humor and fierce love for family (watch trailer, runtime: 2:27). Bad Sisters is based on Flemish TV show Clan which aired in Belgium in 2012. The first episode starts with a dead body that we learn is Grace’s husband, John Paul. Through a series of flashbacks, we quickly see why John Paul's death shouldn’t really bother us. He is self-centered, cruel, and sneaky. After a particularly annoying incident, Grace’s four sisters — who despise John Paul — start drinking and fantasizing about his death. How did John Paul die? How did his death involve the sisters? And are they going to get away with it? The show lives up to its name by showing all the ways the sisters are “bad,” but you’ll be rooting for them all the way through. So far, just three episodes have been released, and a new one drops every Friday.

☕ DRINK THIS TONIGHT-

The pursuit for the perfect cup of java led to the creation of Brown Nose Coffee: When four caffeine addicts were on the lookout for their next fix, they decided to each make their own cup of coffee from scratch. Their newfound hobby of sourcing their own beans eventually turned into a passion project with one goal: To find the best beans they could get their hands on, roast them to perfection, then bring them to the world at Brown Nose Coffee. Today, they run a fully functional coffee roasting facility where they grade, roast, and brew cups of perfection. You can’t go wrong with any of their drinks, but in this August heat, we recommend you go for one of their iced drinks, such as the iced salted caramel latte and their Aerocano, which adds foam and texture to an iced Americano by infusing it with air. We also recommend a side of their signature “croffles” — a fantastic creation combining croissants and waffles. You can find Brown Nose at Waterway 5A, or you can pick it up at Dara’s Ice Cream branches in Zamalek, Maadi, or O1 Mall in New Cairo. If you’re in Sahel, you can find them at Hacienda White, Almaza Bay, or Marassi.

Entrepreneur Seth Goldenberg looks at how curiosity is becoming an endangered species in Radical Curiosity. In this bold manifesto, Goldenberg argues that the best way to tackle the issues we confront as individuals, organizations, and as a society is to explore deep questions, rather than look for quick fixes. The book looks at how being “radically curious” can be used in life and work to help deal with uncertainty. The pillars of radical curiosity include learning by questioning, challenging widely held notions, rigorous envisioning, flourishing living systems, and optimistic futures. Together, they form a mindset that produces the best of humanities, sciences, and business, says Goldenberg. Overall, the book is an easy-to-read, and a thought-provoking guide to rethinking personal and professional ways.
