When TMN picked up the new Showtime series "Brotherhood", I was intrigued by the premise. As summarized on the IMDB page, "Set in an Irish neighbourhood in Providence, the series reflects around two brothers on opposite sides of the law: one a gangster (Jason Isaacs) and the other a politician (Jason Clarke)."
This show is fantastic. It's right up there with "The Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under". The characters are interesting, the acting is incredible, the stories are smart and it always leaves you wanting more. I just read "Brotherhood" has been renewed for another season. This is good news.
If you've got TMN or Showtime, you've got to give this one a shot. If you don't, check out the DVD when it comes out. Shows like this are few and far between.
