Brothers (1984–1989)
10/10
An Honest, Touching, Funny Portrayal of Homosexuality
17 January 2019
This emmy-winning comedy series that aired on Showtime in the 1980s centers around the three Waters brothers of Philadelphia: Joe, the sensible one and Lou, the gruff, but lovable type. Their lives are turned in an uproar when their youngest brother Cliff comes out as gay on the day of his own wedding. The brothers are not happy about this, but make a promise to support Cliff and his new lifestyle. The supporting cast includes Hallie Todd, Robin Riker, and Philip Charles Mackenzie, who steals the show as Cliff's outrageous and equally gay friend. Unlike Will and Grace, this show actually delves more into the trials and tribulations of one who becomes gay and must cope with their new life.
