Advantages: Great drama show, secrets, lies Disadvantages: None
...want from a television show.!! Brothers and sisters is one of my favourite drama series out at the moment. It is shown in England on Channel 4 and more recently on E4. It first came out in September 2006 and as of September 2008 they are now in their third series. The DVD of the first series came out in February of this year.
It is an American drama series featuring the Walker family of California. They are a fairly well to do family who live in ... ...two daughters and the three brothers are played by Matthew Rhys, Balthazar Getty (of Sienna Miller fame) and Dave Annabel. I would say that each character is probably a bit predictable and what TV shows need to portray but nevertheless they are interesting characters. For example one of the brothers is gay and so a lot of his story lines dwell on this fact. Another brother has an affair; one of the sisters is a lonely housewife who then is unfortunately ...

Advantages: Great acting, cast and highly watchable. Disadvantages: None that I can think of
The walker family arre as disfunctional as you get! But they're great! William Walker was the head of The Walker Family until he died. That left Mom, Nora, in charge. She has 5 children, Sarah, Kitty, Tommy, Kevin and Justin. All grown up. Sarah is married to Joe, and they have 2 children, Cooper and Paige.
Add to that a business that was left to Sarah and Tommy to run jointly with their uncle, Saul and you have a decent family. Until you throw ... ...Holly Harper rents a house from Nora and William, although Nora has never met her. What Nora doesnt know is that Holly and William were in love for years! And boy is she shocked when she does! And then Hollys 19 year old daughter, Rebecca arrives and everything becomes clear!
Nora and everyone else in the family must deal with the new arrival, Holly suddenly acquiring a share of th family business and their own personal/relationship problems!

Advantages: Witty, engaging and well acted Disadvantages: It is another American series....
...enjoyed the 1st Season of Brothers & Sisters. I missed the initial airing on TV so borrowed this DVD set from a friend.
This is one of those series that my husband even became interested in. Because there is such a big cast, there is a character for everyone to latch on to/relate to. There is a widow, recovering addict, homosexual, married couple on the rocks, ambitious career woman, new parents...need I go on!
I was worried that Calista Flockhart ... ...as Ally McBeal but was also plesantly suprised. I would suggest this as an ideal Mothers day gift or for a friend on maternity leave (like me). Some of the story lines are a little far fetched but the eye candy and the strength of the acting certainly more than makes up for it.
This is available to buy online for sub £18 + delivery & with 23 episodes (each about 45 minutes) to get through I really think that this does offer great value for money. ...

Advantages: heart felt family drama that makes you laugh and cry Disadvantages: a little far fetched with the directness of the family arguments
...exploring the intertwined relationships of brothers and sisters in adulthood and how reliant we all become on eachother at some point. There are a variety of different storylines to follow and shows different levels of depth on issues such as addiction, the war and trust. The story line is believable as the family is set to be an affluent californian family with well to do children who none of which appear to be struggling much. It can be hard to ... ...family but it is nice to see that the grass is not always greener on the other side and it isn't all just about money and what brands one is wearing. No this storyline explores character and relationships. Rating: A great show to watch and very believable characters, storylines are varied and easy to follow. Sally fields is great casting as the mother! ...
