Movie Reviews of Brothers and Sisters - The Complete Second SeasonMovie Review: The Olin Show Summary: 1 StarsI actually really enjoy this series, what I object to is the rampant, unashamed and in your face nepotism that pervades this show like a bad smell. It truly beggars belief that the producer/director cast his wife (attractive but now quite frankly too old for the part) as the glamorous `other woman' in the show, himself (fat with overly long greasy hair and grey stubble) as her new romantic interest and his son as one of the writers! How many talented actors and writers were sidelined so that Mr Olin Senior could cast Mrs Olin in one of the key roles and give Mr Olin Junior a key position on the writing staff? It seems that actors would have us believe that acting is a difficult 'art' or 'skill' for which they deserve to be paid vast sums and to receive awards for their 'brilliant' and 'outstanding' performances (so they tell us). We are then expected to also believe that this 'dazzling talent' is miraculously inherited by their offspring who, in turn, apparently deserve to be paid vast sums and to receive awards for their 'brilliant' and 'outstanding' performances... and the cycle continues. The whole thing is starting to resemble some extraordinary scam with us cast as the gullible marks! So, Mr Olin, get rid of yourself (as the love interest), your wife and your son and bring on board some genuine talent that actually deserves to be there!
Summary of Brothers and Sisters - The Complete Second SeasonEnter the fascinating world of the Walkers, and explore what is means to be an American family in the 21st century. Though they live very different and conflicting lives, the Walkers find unity under the family roof. Relationships bend but never break as they strive to find their own identities and embrace each other s differences. This is a series to watch, raves the San Francisco Chronicle. Welcome home a family you can root for in one of televisions most captivating and insightful dramas. Calista Flockhart, Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths and Ron Rifkin lead a stellar cast in ABC s critically-acclaimed hit Brothers & Sisters.
The second season of Brothers and Sisters saw the terrific top-notch cast hit their stride. The chemistry between Calista Flockhart's Kitty and the Republican senator she works for, played by Rob Lowe, is palpable, and their engagement this season makes for a charming thread entwining the tales of the rest of the Walker family. And what a year they're having. Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) has lost custody of her kids, but is now running Ojai Foods, and trying to navigate through the family issues that accompany the family business. Uncle Saul (Ron Rifkin) might be gay. Iraq vet Justin might be falling off the wagon. Affairs are lurking around every corner, tempting just about every Walker at one time or another. The sun around whom all the Walker planets spin, however, is still Nora (Sally Field), whose good humor and big heart go a long way toward giving the clan the glue it needs. When Justin apologizes for his snappish behavior at the family meeting the previous night addressing his drug use, Nora says, "No one expects you to be warm and fuzzy at your own intervention, dear."
This season, Nora gets some affairs of the heart herself, with a charming guest appearance by Chevy Chase as Nora's college draft-dodging beau, back in the states as a teacher but still exactly on Nora's not-quite-reformed hippie wavelength. But tension awaits in the form of Isaac (Danny Glover), Nora's political opposite, but absolutely her equal mentally and emotionally. It's satisfying to see a woman older than 35 have a real love life, with real sparks--and real consequences. --A.T. Hurley
