Americans are living longer than ever before.

On the Sunday story from Up First, we look at a growing number of people using these extra years to find new meaning.

You get at a point where you start asking, what did you do in your life that was significant?

A look at the transformative power of human passion and finding your purpose in the third act of life. Listen now on the

Up First podcast from NPR. Bullseye with Jesse Thorn is a production of maximum fun.org and is

distributed by NPR.

Hey! It's Bullseye. I'm Jesse Thorne. It's an old premise. We take a married couple,

one of them kills the other. Only, it turns out that the surviving spouse was the victim of

domestic violence and abuse, and now the victim, free of their abuser, has to convince friends,

family, and the authorities of their innocence. It's the basis of thousands of movies and

TV shows. Bad Sisters, created by and starring, my guest

Sharon Horgan, uses that same premise. The show is a sort of black comedy set in Ireland.

And for much of the first season, Horgan and her sisters plot various ways to end the life of John

Paul. He is one of the

sister's abusive husband. This being a black comedy, some of the attempts are pretty funny.

But Bad Sisters also asks a bigger and frankly more interesting question.

Once the abuser's gone, once the authorities close the book, then what?

What is your life then?

What does justice actually mean in that case?

It's a great show.

Its second season is airing now on Apple TV Plus.

Sharon is a brilliant writer and performer.
