3.5/5
"Brothers and Sisters" is an old-fashioned soap opera that certainly has its ups and downs but deserves more credit for being well-made, interesting comfort food television. Go to Full Review David Hinckley New York Daily News 08/17/2018
The general principle of "Brothers & Sisters" has been that if a story gets too ridiculously soapy, the writers can quickly layer on a new one that's even soapier. Go to Full Review Tina Ogle Guardian 06/02/2009
Despite its glitzy setting and modern mores, at heart this is a good, old-fashioned family drama where you can revel in the complications of sibling relationships without directly entering the fight. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures 11/15/2018
3.5/5
Sure, the Walkers are an endlessly irritating family, but they stick together. And within all their drama is a healthy dose of realism that can help anyone relate to their own family. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
