    Just wondering did anyone see the first epsoide yet? looks promising maybe another Sopranos.

    Summary taken from TV.com
    "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."

    Hmmm, watched it yesterday not knowing anything about it so was a little surprised when I was hit by a wave of Oirishness :)

    Think Irish Sopranos but not as good/original. Great acting and it seems like it's going to be more about the characters rather than the weekly plots (kinda like Deadwood). Worth grabbing IMHO.

    Just watched it again with the wife. I think thid could be a good show but it's amazing watching this as an irish person and listening to everyone being called Paddy and Mick but based in New York.
