Excellent Series!
This DVD contains the first season of Showtime's original drama, Brotherhood. Set in Providence, this series captures the tensions in a family and community. Jason Isaacs plays Michael Caffee, a man with a unique sense of justice, whose criminal activities threaten his brother (Jason Clarke plays Tommy Caffee), who is a state politician, as both strive in their own ways to preserve their neighborhood. Morality, ethics, and justice are undertones that can provide intellectual stimulation, while the fast-paced and gripping dramatic storylines drive each episode. Superb cast! Wonderful direction. Compelling storylines. Music is also noteworthy plus. Wonderful performances from Annabeth Gish as Tommy's wife (Eileen), Fionula Flanagan (the matriarch), Kerry O'Malley (MaryKate--sister to the brothers), Bates Wilder (MaryKate's gullible husband). Stellar performances as well from Ethan Embry (as conflicted lawman Declan Giggs), Georgia Lyman (playing his wife), Stivi Paskoski (who plays Pete McGonagle, Michael's right hand man)and Kevin Chapman (as mob boss, Freddi Cork). Other regular notables are: Matt Servitto, and Len Cariou. Tommy and Eileen's daughters are excellent as well, particularly the eldest, who figures most in the storyline (Fiona Erickson, Madison Garland, and Kailey Gilbert). As with most cable crime drama, there is some vivid violence & adult language/themes. Get ready for this show's second season by watching the DVDs. This show has so much depth to it, you can watch the same episode several times and keep noticing subtle things.Read full review

Awesome show, well made, keeps my attention easily
I love Brotherhood! I have always been a fan of movies like the Godfather, The Departed, etc. so this movie fit perfectly in there. Since it shows on Showtime, they use bad language and have occasional nudity, but it's very realistic cursing and nudity. Like it's real life and you're really there. It's not "Hollywood" nudity and cursing just for the sake of doing it. The actors are great and deliver awesome performances. My favorite character is Peter McGonagle, because he's a terrible gangster, but he's also a recovering alcoholic in A.A. and tries to help others with his addiction. Anyways I recommend it if you like slower paced movies where you have to think about who's double-crossing who and all that jazz. It's a great show.

The new Sopranos
Brotherhood is one of my new (and third) favorite television series. My other two favorites are Sopranos and The Wire. This series is similar in its genre to "Sopranos" and "The Wire" but it is MUCH DARKER. I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys dark (in a violent, not funny, kind of way) films. In fact its one of the darkest depictions of the human condition I've ever seen on any screen. What separates this show from other gangster series (such as the Sopranos) is that it is almost impossible to find a character to like; unless of course you like bad guys (Michael is my favorite character). Rule #1 of Brotherhood is that there are NO GOOD GUYS; that is to say this series depicts the evil side of nearly every character in the series, including the women and children, hardly ever showing anyone in a positive light. The mothers are bad, the daughters are bad, the politicians are bad, and the gangsters are bad (but not much worse than the politicians by contrast; which I believe is one of the major themes of the show.) In Sopranos some of the gangsters are at least a slight bit likable but not in Brotherhood. For those of you who don't already know, the story is based on the true life of James J. "Whitey" Bulger, the second longest running guy who is currently of the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted List. You can read about on Wikipedia (WARNING: reading about Whitey might spoil some of the upcoming events in the series as many of them are similar to events in his real life.) A lot of the details are changed like the time frame (Bulger reigned during the 80s) and the location (Bulger was in Boston, Michael is in Rhode Island). And yes, Whitey Bulger did has a brother who was into politics, going from President of the State Senate in Massachusetts to the President of UMASS, where he was working until his brother was added to FBI's Top Ten. Overall the writing, acting (especially Michael), and directing are fantastic. I would recommend this film to anyone who is interested in this genre, or in the Irish Mafia. I would not recommend it to children or sensitive adults simply because it's such a dark series, it is so well made it can even be depressing at times.Read full review
