Editorial Reviews

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Show, August 7, 2008

By	City Girl (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the finest dramas on television! Season Two only gets better..., May 4, 2008

By	C.S. - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, smart and well-produced series!, March 14, 2009

By	E. Moore "real mama" (NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
