TV: Brotherhood

[Munsu]

I just spent last week watching this show, and I really liked it. Wondering if anyone here watches it. Just as all the other premium channels original series, it's very well acted and very brutal at times. The two main characters are great. You have a great political drama and a great gangster drama in one show, what else do you need?

Brotherhood, a Showtime original series, follows the lives of two brothers in the Providence, Rhode Island Irish-American neighborhood known as “The Hill”. The blue-collar neighborhood has roots in old-world ways of street justice and shady dealings. Tommy Caffee (Jason Clarke) is a family man and local politician who is out to protect the community and its best interests. His world is turned around when his gangster brother Mike (Jason Isaacs) returns to “The Hill” to regain control of the seedy underworld.

Season 1 was only 11 episodes, so go get them if you can. Season 2 is set to premiere at some point this July.
