Such Brave Girls (2020, 2023) At the start of 2020, Sadler had deteriorating mental health, experiences she drew from for the BBC Three and Hulu sitcom Such Brave Girls (2023) which she wrote and starred in alongside her real life sister Lizzie Davidson. Sadler said that she wanted to create a character like herself – "I'm sort of obsessed with my own trauma, and love telling people...and I wanted to do a more tongue-in-cheek version of that really" The BBC described the show as "an unflinching, often absurd, and very funny look at a mother and her two grown up children try to cope with their own emotional and financial fragility, whilst they are living under the same roof; a series not for the faint-hearted, or the easily offended."
