This month’s TV series is Brotherhood (2006-2008).
The crime drama is about two
brothers, Michael and Tommy Caffee, who grew up and live in an Irish neighborhood
in Providence. Michael is a local gangster recently out of jail and Tommy is a
state representative causing constant confrontation between the two. Its
creator Blake Masters went on
to develop Law & Order: LA.
The series stars Jason Isaacs,
Jason Clarke, Annabeth Gish, Kevin Chapman, Fionnula Flanagan, Fiona Erickson, Madison Garland, Kailey Gilbert, Ethan Embry, Kerry O”Malley, Tina Benko, Matt Servitto, Len Cariou, and Brian F. O’Bryrne. The show ran
for three seasons before being cancelled by Showtime; however it does have a suitable
ending. The first two seasons are fantastic, making it one of the best crime
dramas in 2006-2007 (probably only second to The Sopranos), while the third
season is good but not quite as strong. The cast is wonderful as well, especially
Isaacs and Clarke. It is well worth checking out for fans of great crime
dramas.
