Movie Reviews of Brothers and Sisters - The Complete Second SeasonMovie Review: FINALLY, A 'TRUE' FAMILY DYNAMIC EMERGES ON TV. Summary: 5 Stars
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.
