Annie Barrett Entertainment Weekly Gilles Marini! I love you; don't leave. Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Metro UK Staff metro.co.uk Brothers and Sisters may be picture postcard schmaltzy, but the storylines will have you addicted. Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures The fifth season was just as fun as the previous ones and features some fantastic drama. Rated: 3/5 Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Dani Bradford TV Equals 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. Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Steve Marsi TV Fanatic 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 27, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Louise C 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
