Entertainment Weekly

If Brotherhood isn't as brilliant as The Wire, it's just as believable. The cast is so solid.

By Gillian Flynn FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Had it arrived 10 or 15 years earlier, when long-form narrative was not the dominant form on cable television, it would have been felt, arguably, more as an explosion than a trickle. The series has at least so far failed to find a large audience, indicating perhaps how much we have come to take good serial drama for granted.

By Ginia Bellafante FULL REVIEW

Philadelphia Daily News

This season, a rebuilding one for several characters, seems to be taking a less sudsy approach, focusing instead on the devilish details of how the system works (and doesn't) that can only make Brotherhood's realpolitik that much more real.

By Ellen Gray FULL REVIEW

Variety

Brotherhood certainly has its moments and does an especially artful job conveying violence in a brutal but not gratuitous way--one that's often more harrowing precisely because of its restraint. Ultimately, though, once you get past the brothers, the whole thing's a bit too grim.
