If Brothers hit the spot, these will too
Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Brother's Keeper (1992)

Contemplative where it counts, tense underneath

Drama built on bleakness, twice over
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Melancholy thriller, and it commits to that
The difference: Sits closer to action than Brothers does

One thread runs through both: grief
The difference: Trades the tension of Brothers for an angle of its own

The same preoccupation in both: grief
The difference: Easier on the tension than Brothers

Contemplative war in both cases
The difference: 22 years apart, and the 1980s show


Both lean on bleakness more than on drama

Both lean on melancholy more than on war

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that

Thriller built on melancholy, twice over
