The progressing characters in Brotherhood are really excellent! Adding Irish cousin, Colin, was a real touch of genius, and the actor is just great! He adds a fine real Irish touch to the Irish Mob, which had been just a bunch of Americans or pseudo-Americans with expert accents. This real Irishman with his rather pathetic seeking for a father he cannot have adds another sympathetic character to this group of murderous hoodlums.
I had been wondering just how far poor Mike would go wandering down the pathway to salvation through love and becoming a socially accepted member of suburbia! The scene in the paint shop was really great! Mike Caffee the murderer choosing paint for a nursery! Has he never been a father before now? I always thought he might be the real father of one of Tommy's girls, but that has been my error, though still a possible secret. After all, the heat between the actors playing Mike and Eileen, is still there though it may not be deliberate. Personally have not cared for the blonde Kath, the ease with which she slid back into being Mike's sweetheart when her husband and the father of her kids is still there, and pathetically wishing to be back home.
And about that Freddie Cork! Seeing him sit there willing to torture and torment and threaten his stupid associate crook just reaffirms what a really nasty creep he is! Of course the awful way he murdered the boy who loved his son had already given us his true character. Freddie is way more creepy and murderous that Mike or even Silent John could ever be! Freddie hides behind his jovial grin and pays others to do the wicked things, as he watches, enjoying the sight of Mike breaking bones for him. Freddie really ought to die soon! He can't get much more evil in my sight.
