Brothers & Sisters is truly one of the finest dramas currently on network television. The show's writers embrace current and highly pertinent issues in modern day North America, and work them into the story line of each episode beautifully.

The cast of actors is one of the most talented we have seen to date- Sally Field, Rachel Griffiths, Calista Flockhart, Rob Lowe, Ron Rifkin, and Emily Vancamp are standouts among them all. Field's role as the matriarch of the family is particularly stunning, and her brilliant ability is even further explored in the second season as she is forced to make tough decisions about her life, and is faced with further conflict created by her family. Griffiths provides another extremely compelling performance as Sarah Walker, who is forced to deal with her crumbling marriage.

Throughout the second season, the storylines become more complicated and the Walker family is thrown into a tangled web of turmoil and deception. I would highly recommend this DVD if you enjoyed the first season- it only gets better!

I missed most of Season One when it aired, so I bought the Season One and Season Two DVDs. I could not stop watching! I LOVE this show and Season Two is just as engaging as the first season. The characters are well-developed and the storylines are realistic. Sally Field is absolutely outstanding! A must-watch!

Brothers & Sisters is one of the best series on television right now. It depicts a close family, but each person is going through some hardships. No matter what is going on in their lives, they can always count on eachother. The show doesn't paint this family to be the perfect family. They show a reality in its characters that almost anyone could relate to. I would give this season 5 stars, but they are charging the same price that they did for season 1 and due to the writer's strike, there is one less disc.

With great expectations after a brilliant First Season one is often disappointed by the following seasons. Brothers & Sisters Second Season is an exception...all the fun, suspense and emotions remain intact and I can hardly wait for Season Three (which I have already pre-ordered!). My husband and son (24) are also fans.

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!

This is one of the most enjoyble evening shows we have seen in several years. This is a not to be missed series, and has earned a spot up next to "West Wing" as one of the shows we wait to see (this has nothing to do specifically with Rob Lowe, although he is a delight to see again in such a great show). Can't wait to add Season 3 to our DVD collection.

The second season of Brothers & Sisters offers the same elements that were present in its first, only better. After this second season, I quickly realised that I'm completely in love with these characters and their storylines. Anyone who's close to their siblings will find many similarities in the plot of this show.

The show continues where the last season left off. Kitty is still with the Senator and he is still trying to take his seat at the head of his party. Sara's marriage is still in trouble. Justin is still at war and will become more troubled than before. Kevin is still looking for love and hiding his aloneness with cynicism. And Norah... well she's still the matriarch with so much goodness she causes more harm than good. The family business is in trouble, and many of their relationships as well.

These characters are going through real situations that I found myself indentifying with. There are many gripping moments in this series that just brings you closer to these characters because they often reflect our own. Sure, the show is about a rich Californian family that seems to have all that they want. But the characters are never overzealous, which makes them real.

What I find amazing about this show is the dialogue. When the entire family is together, the dance that takes place back and forth between these characters is so realistic that it sends shivers down my spine. The performances are all strong, even more in this second season. The actors are truly empersonating their characters and they seem much more at ease with one another.

Brothers & Sisters is a real gem. I wish more people would be able to watch and enjoy this show about family relationships and family secrets. I can garantee that after just a few episodes, you'll be completely hooked.

Broadway Diva Betty Buckley played the matriarch in the pilot and she was at her excellent best. Enter Sally Field. The series was supposedly based around star Calista Flockhart, but not surprisingly, Field stole the show and won an Emmy for both seasons. Her character is complex and natural. The plots are intricate, if at times, not confusing. There is too much busyness going on and at times, one loses sight of the story until two time Oscar winner Field steps in. The entire cast is quite good that includes Rob Lowe. I do not know if there is a season three, due to the writer's strike which hampered this show, but let's hope there is. Despite the over complex plotting, the acting makes up for any confusion the viewer may feel.

This is a solid show on the every shifting changes in traditional family values. That in itself is an important message and worthy of watching due to the erosion from globalization and technology.

Worth it!!!
