Brotherhood - Scott Miller - 01-15-2010
I finished up Season 1 of Brotherhood last night and its another winning cable series. It is the story of the Caffey family. They live in a declining area of Rhode Island where one brother has political aspirations and the other is a mobster. It is a cross between The Wire and The Sopranos. I didn't like it as much as either of those, but it is a quality show all the way around. The writing and acting are better than anything I find on regular TV. Annabeth Gish, looking beautiful, really shines as the wife of the politician as does Jason Isaacs as the mobster.

Isn't that at least semi-based on real brothers? I heard something on NPR or something like that.

Can neither confirm nor deny but it certainly has a realistic quality to it.

Scott, I loved this series. It has such a great cast. My mother was born and raised in Providence, Rhode Island, so it's of special interest to me. Great show. Now, the question is, how many seasons did I see? I think I saw 2, maybe 3. Not sure about the 3rd. How many seasons have been filmed, do you know?

I'm fairly certain that its run ended after 3 seasons. I liked it from the get-go but it really picked up in the last 4 or 5 episodes. I'm renting them from my library and they are not in demand so I can keep them for 9 weeks at a time. This season had several cliffhangers so Season 2 has already been ordered.
