Mixed · 2Rose Byrne plays Samantha Quinn and Meghann Fahy plays Charlotte Quinn, sisters who have spent 20 years trying to move on from a single night of violence.

Every sentence links to the reporting it rests on. The pill in front of each says where its sources sit: Left, Centre or Right when one side supplies at least half of them, Mixed when they are evenly split. The number is how many outlets it cites.
