Brothers & Sisters: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Brian Tallerico HollywoodChicago.com "Brothers and Sisters" is an old-fashioned soap opera that certainly has its ups and downs but deserves more credit for being well-made, interesting comfort food television. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 21, 2020 Full Review Brothers & Sisters: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) David Hinckley New York Daily News The general principle of "Brothers & Sisters" has been that if a story gets too ridiculously soapy, the writers can quickly layer on a new one that's even soapier. Aug 17, 2018 Full Review Brothers & Sisters: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Tina Ogle Guardian Despite its glitzy setting and modern mores, at heart this is a good, old-fashioned family drama where you can revel in the complications of sibling relationships without directly entering the fight. Jun 2, 2009 Full Review Brothers & Sisters: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Sure, the Walkers are an endlessly irritating family, but they stick together. And within all their drama is a healthy dose of realism that can help anyone relate to their own family. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 15, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
