Brothers and Sisters: Season 2

TV series "BROTHERS & SISTERS" showcases a family portrait par excellance. Walker matriarch (a singularly gifted Sally Field) has reared a family of five whose relationships may be seen as 21st Century American. No room for antiquated or hypocritical squeamish ideas of ethics or morality here, the large international cast is arguably the finest in TV series history. The brilliant writers (creator Jon Robin Baitz & team), directors (Ken Olin & team), in short, everyone connected with this vehicle is top notch. Season 2 covers diverse issues from multi-fasceted revealed secrets (of Dad's, played by Tom Skerritt) which affect all, to a refreshingly honest and 'normal' homosexual relationship shown with the highest level of intelligence and profundity. (Matthew Rhys, a handsome Welsh actor with a perfect voice, here a particular standout as family lawyer, Kevin, who meets his match in Luke MacFarlane as non-family member, Scotty, the only soberingly honest character full of quick wit, sincerity, ethics & panache - no small feat.) It covers politics & pundits brilliantly (excellently played by Rob Lowe & Calista Flockhart) from close range, and the unfortunate factor that no amount of money can help conceive a baby with a mother's damaged uterus - a devastating and daunting challenge. It also covers a devastating divorce (a delicious Rachel Griffiths as Sarah creates another finely-etched portrait), a returning warrior from Afghanistan war, Justin, played by Dave Annable (a gifted & handsome young actor with a brilliant future), and the possible threat of losing the family business (Balthazar Getty plays Tommy, imbued with his father, William Walker's business acumen/hidden flaw, he is quiet and likeable and I, at least, root for Tommy to outdistance his father.) Last, but definitely, no least, there is the seeming family nemesis, Holly Harper (played with relish by Emmy winner Patricia Wettig), and finally, Holly's daughter, Rebecca (played by a fresh and beautiful find, Emily VanCamp. Her beauty seems to radiate from within). I recommend this thoughtfully conceived, multi-level drama to anyone seeking to fill his/her TV viewing time with grade 'A' relevancy.

In my opinion this is one of the best written TV shows about a family in a long time. Each and every episode will make you both laugh & cry. Granted the Walker family has money, but the issues they face are issues we all face, they are real people dealing with real issues. You can relate to this family, you share their happiness & feel their sadness. Sometimes they do the right thing & other times they fall flat on their faces, but no matter what happens the writers & actors make sure you feel it right along with the characters. Each actor plays their role perfectly and have transformed themselves into their character flawlessly, with the natural little quirks & habits we all have. The humor is well done and the drama keeps you coming back for more. The Walkers are a fantastic family and the most believable to come along in a long time.

Brothers and Sisters is such a good thing to watch that after I almost obligued a friend to take it out from blockbuster, she called me and said now I'm like a Jehova witness with their Bible under his arm reccommending everybody to read it, but mine is not a Bible it is Brothers and Sisters.Also when I called to Amazon telling them that they have sent me 3 of Brothers and Sisters instead of 1 as I had ordered, the guy answering me the phone call said oooh! I loved that one too, isn't it wonderful?I have just integrated my family to the Walkers family .I could say more about it but I think this is enough to convince people that it is a very good one

This series is one of the bests I have had the pleasure of watching. If you haven't watched Brothers & Sisters, you are missing out on a really entertaining, funny and intriguing TV Series !!! I have one complaint though; the Season 1 DVD had a small booklet with a description of all the chapters which was great..meanwhile the Season 2 DVD does not and it is like they invested less in the production of this DVD than the previous one. Still minor details... worth purchasing since its content is ABSOLUTELY GREAT!

For a mainstream American nighttime drama, BROTHERS AND SISTERS is an extraordinarily moving experience. The family is up-and-down, with every conceivable problem you can imagine. But because the writing and production values are so strong, encouraging the terrific acting seen every week, I was pleased to buy the entire season and watch them all within two weeks. Lovely television. And I applaud the fact that the gay son isn't singled out for negative attention, especially in his relationship with his "husband," means that we all get a chance to see a portion of the world we aren't normally exposed to. Bravo Jon Robin Baitz.

Great condition ! Speedy delivery ! Thank !

After the german TV channel Pro7 has cancled the show after only 10 episodes of Season 1 and the Swiss TV SF2 after Episodes 13 of Season 2 - I bought now Season 1 - 3 of the US DVD Release.The show is really great, with wonderful actors, and good storylines and with great dialoges.Thanks subtitles (the US DVD's contains spanish, french and english) I do understand and can follow the show.

I started watching this series because I was such a fan of Ally McBeal, starring Calista Flockhart, who plays one of the Sisters in this series, but I couldn't stand all the homosexual propaganda. Ally McBeal also pushed the homosexual agenda, but not, to me, as nauseatingly and overtly as this series. It is a sign of our times when even children are depicted taking homosexual relationships for granted, as if they were as common and admirable as reading, writing, and arithmetic. For someone who agrees that homosexuality is good and normal, this series would probably be immensely amusing and entertaining. For a homophobe like me, or anyone who believes what Leviticus 18:22 correctly states that a man lying with a man as with a woman is an abomination, this series is probably not for them.
