It’s been more than a year since my last Brotherhood post. I stopped following the show when I moved to Taiwan. The same thing happened to Prison Break. I still enjoyed watching it, but like I mentioned before, for some shows, you need to be in a certain mood. I finally started watching the series again. This is after the two first episodes of the second season were leaked on the internet back in July.
I really enjoy watching Brotherhood. It has different elements of different shows mixed into it, with excellent acting, making it impressive to watch. The plot twists are also interesting. You never know what’s going to happen next. I recommend Brotherhood.
Warning: Spoilers ahead.
