OCOG s comment: A modern family drama series from the United States in the form of sounds ever breath of fresh air in the eternal Crime and Mystery No matter a television set before the Sun, even if the simple title Brothers & Sisters now not necessarily wanting more. Nora Walker (Sally Field) and her five adult children have long since come to terms again, as the family man and husband William died. He leaves a family in which he, as is revealed by degrees, has driven dirty business. Also evident for years that William had a mistress, which then bursts even unexpectedly in the lives of the Walkers, in order to get their slice of heritage, it makes for his survivors do not necessarily easier. Since there are Kitty (Calista Flockhart), thanks to a convinced Republican their political talk show much in the public stands, the gay lawyer Kevin (Matthew Rhys), the other hand, has a marked distaste for Republicans, Sarah (Rachel Griffiths) and Tommy (Balthazar Getty) who want to save the family business and at home in their own even the families have their problems, and the youngest, Justin (Dave Annable), the herumgammelt since his return from Afghanistan in a world of drugs. Finally, as Nora's brother Saul also (Ron Rifkin) would be, who also works in the family and reveal some secrets of William does not want-even though he was obviously privy to everything. The people and situations the characters with their problems and situations as some promise of potential. Unfortunately, all designed to effect. Some feel the twists and characters in Brothers & Sisters as if the artist carefully checked off on a checklist. Traumatised drug-addicted veteran, successful businessmen, gay marriages without tenderness, sick children and impotence. Check - all there. As icing on the cake as it were, then there is also the lover, the American family for a series then it seems rather unusual, but the mixture nachwürzt interesting.

However, in Brothers & Sisters

What then really disturbing is the realization of the figures. With
Ally McBeal actress Calista Flockhart could certainly win a prominent face for the role of Kitty, but she seems to barely know what to do with its more than pale, if not boring role that is only because of their political views to profile seems to begin. Similarly, pale and aloof, the role of Tommy, the they had basically no losses from the script can delete. Kevin as a cynical gay man is a much more interesting when he has become not just the most sympathetic. The oldest daughter Sarah, however, is certainly one of the strongest personalities of the five siblings, because she is a woman who has both feet in life, she is a fighter whose own family life is illuminated while interesting, but unfortunately grauverschleiert to. Justin as a young war veteran takes you on a current topic. The attacks of 11 September play a major role and are sometimes very emotionally worked up. Sally Field is perfect in the role of Nora Walker, although their role despite all sympathies remain as pale as the rest of the Walker family. Uncle Saul is a disgusting and unappealing all minor characters, be they friends, colleagues or by marriage from the environment of the Walkers, remain gray and interchangeable. Especially with the men that makes Even the appearance is a problem. It takes a few episodes, to be able to distinguish all the men (which also applies to most of the main characters), as it is in appearance (as well as in action) hardly differ from each other. sketchy characters are so one dilemma of Brothers & Sisters . The execution of the act is another. Because rarely do you have the feeling that at an event to be there really. A interesting scene is not shown, but in a scene later persuaded. So who gets a marriage proposal, will not react in that moment. The next scene, however, will tell the audience that it probably will not come to a wedding, although it would actually have been much more interesting, as the person would react emotionally. This is finally the big stumbling block for Brothers & Sisters . The audience is constantly left out, do not come to the people and also fail to match the event itself. He is losing viewers and therefore very easily bored. Brothers & Sisters is not grottenschlecht. It has its good, strong, emotional moments, but for a drama that is far too little. One problem is run in sequence and checked off. The atmosphere of the series is incredibly sterile. Everything remains on the surface, everything seems to be deepened and filmed by Eitel-sunshine-filter. For all frictions remain harmless, it is forgiven and forgotten, and the pieces fly anyway, never really.

The directors to Ken Olin sure did have good intentions, but have in the whole exercise quite accepted. Too many characters, all of which remain sketchy, in too many tricky situations that are only outlined, can not continue to tie the series.

Brothers & Sisters holds far less than it promises, especially since the whole is then usually staged quite boring. Even the humorous scenes are so indifferent heruntergeleiert that other people are hardly perceived as a joke. Too bad, especially since the series or at least can boast several awards nominations. Not surprisingly, it got away just the performer to Nora, Sarah and Justin the best.

Brothers & Sisters
is not bad but also not really good. Tons of potential was wasted and little used. Who can inspire even for slightly more well directed drama, which is for
Brothers & Sisters certainly can heat up somewhat. The rest should perhaps prefer to stay in Crime and Mystery series. And it seems the trend in Germany to run. No wonder that Pro Sieben Brothers & Sisters
very quickly removed from the night program. If it may also have been a very radical decision.

A word on DVD exploitation of sharing
Season One DVD in two boxes and then also to advertise for exorbitant prices, is more than outrageous. Especially when rather little interest in the series and these prices is questionable whether the second half (and the following seasons) in Germany will ever appear on DVD. As if there had Brothers & Sisters
not hard enough ...
