Where will Mike Caffee Go?
Showtime will be the loser if they do not put up another season of their best show, BROTHERHOOD! I am just one of the very many fans of that intricate, away from easy watching shows! The scripts are not delicate little rambles with a few good scenes and no great characters.
Every character on this show is good! Not good from the moral standpoint, but a good, psychological study into the darkness which is human psyche! These are not fat, jolly crooks who base half their own dialog and beliefs on a movie. These are well-studied characters we wish to untangle in order to understand so that we better understand ourselves and those near us.
Every actor is superior, presented in full detail, with no excuses for the violent and unhappy lives they live. Jason Isaacs handles his lead role with finesse, giving us a man forced to violence by a violent, sociopathic father and a twisted unhappy mother. His unhappy siblings are equally well-written and well-played. The entire neighborhood is a cut-away of American dreams and fantasies for the better life we all seek.
And the location, is a place which is definitely American, but also definitely NOT New York or vicinity, or Hollywood or vicinity, but Rhodes Island, a historically important American city

I agree with you MG, this show is too good to cancel.
About the only series on TV that stimulates your mind and has you thinking
about each episode, and each character. You never know what will happen next from week to week...It would be a crime to let this series go into cyber never never land...
