Mike Caffee can hardly miss being classified as a sociopath, with his proclivity for murder, mayhem, and constant inner anger.  All this is

shown constantly on the mobile factor of actor Jason Isaacs who protrays

him so perfectly.  Mike wants to be King of the Hill! He returned hom after

seven years of undisclosed roaming in the underworld of crime, and now in

this second year if recuperating for near-death at the hands of a drunken cop

who has not yet been discovered as the vicious attacker.  Mike still thinks of

Declan as almost family, a childhood companion on the streets, along with

brother Tommy.  Tommy is a sociopath in his own way, concentrating on

trying to gain polictial power and rule the little state as some sort of dictator,

Though Tommy is not noted as a murderer/criminal, he is a cold fish with his

sexual relationships, and a backstabbing political friend/enemy, seeking only his

own desires for wealth through crooked real estate developement and the

top of the reeking garbag heap which is local politics.  So both brothers have

learned life from their soiciopathic father, that drunkard who beat their mother

and his sons, taught by example to steal from the weak, and take what you

want in life, no matter how it may hurt others.  I have been making videos of

Mike Caffee, and have finally selected the music that suits him and Tommy

perfectly.....THE FIRST INSIDE, writter and performed by Bob Seeger.  Play it

and let me know what you think.

11 The Fire Inside

Sometimes an actor is too good, too believeable, just too much to handle!

Jason Isaacs is one of those, and in Brotherhood he seems to have absorbed the sociopathic Michael Caffee into himself entirely too well!  Episode 8 is really a sorrowful commentary on these men with completely antisocial personalities. 

I was glad to see Mike realize at last that he simply could not handle being a father to a child with Kath.  Poor foolish Kath, who has paid a stern price for her relationship with Mike.  Helping him, mothering him, trying to manage his brain damage without being murdered by him in a state of seizure, makes it no surprise when she finally sees him as he really is!  Poor dumb woman!  She thought kindness and love could change him into what she wanted him to be!  And perhaps she confused his sexuality and need for some kind of intimacy as love. 

For the first time in the two-year series we are "treated" or is that "mistreated" to the joys of Mike and another man in the local bordello together!  Ugh!  Too bad that had to be included to show us how far down Mike is going in his descent into reality.

And seeing Mike planning and executing his practical plans for eliminating his socialpathic rivals is a very clear wallow through what is probably the truth about such gangs and their actions.  Though I regret seeing it, I feel the truth of it, and hope it will guarantee that I do NOT memorize lines from it as I have from GODFATHER,
