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




Stills from Brothers and Sisters: The Complete Second Season (Click for larger image)

This set was very entertaining, however the disc with the last three episodes of the season would not play. I had not watched the series until season three, and I felt I missed a lot of info leading into that season.

The second season is even better than the first! Once you start it's hard to stop... The storylines are good even if they are a little predictable. I'm a "series-aholic" and this one is by far my favourite (until now!!)
Can't wait until the 3rd comes out! I've given up long ago on watching TV series on TV....

For a mainstream American nighttime drama, BROTHERS AND SISTERS is an extraordinarily moving experience. The family is up-and-down, with every conceivable problem you can imagine. But because the writing and production values are so strong, encouraging the terrific acting seen every week, I was pleased to buy the entire season and watch them all within two weeks. Lovely television. And I applaud the fact that the gay son isn't singled out for negative attention, especially in his relationship with his "husband," means that we all get a chance to see a portion of the world we aren't normally exposed to. Bravo Jon Robin Baitz.

The shipping of my product was extremely quick, and I received it sooner than expected. This series is absolutely fantastic and a must have!!

Ya no se que más puede pasar en esta serie. Cada capítulo es una sorpresa, y uno no entiende como puede complicarse más, pero lo HACE...

Me gusta esta serie porque a pesar de que los hermanos viven peleándose, se adoran. Y hasta cierto punto pelean, porque quieren cada uno lo mejor para el otro.

Las actuaciones son muy buenas, y en un mismo capítulo logran transmitir sensaciones variadas que provocan desde una risa a carcajadas hasta una lágrima llena de sentimiento.

Aunque no lo específica, esta subtitulada en ESPAÑOL. Me gustaría que AMAZON se preocupara por siempre especificar si una serie o película esta subtitulada o doblada, ya que esta información es vital para poder efectuar la compra.
