From marriages to divorces, from babies to graduations and all points in between, it has been a journey with the Walkers. A pleasant one in my opinion. Go to Full Review Steve Marsi TV Fanatic Sep 27, 2010
2.5/5
Where it failed was the execution. Some story lines seemed so sloppily thrown together, the time jump just felt unnecessary. Things changed either too drastically or not at all. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Louise C @RT69763679 Jul 10, 2023 Having watched the complete series of 'Brothers and Sisters' I'd say this series was varied in its delivery. At times, I became SO frustrated with Nora's controlling ways. I'd fast forward to skip certain scenes. But then there were times that really touched my heart, the way that individuals found their way to forgiveness and peace with each other. That was the salvation of this show. Five siblings, one control-freak Mama equals drama! I watched this on Disney+ in New Zealand. See more Read all reviews
