Related

I really like this show.

People have complained that because it's from the creators of Sex & The City and Friends, that it should be amazing. No one will remark that the first four episodes of those shows were groundbreaking. But for someone looking for a replacement of those great shows, you will be disappointed. Someone looking for a great show about family, you will be pleasantly pleased.

Related is ensemble cast driven, giving fair time to each actress. I think the story lines are funny, thoughtful and have a lot of room to expand for many seasons. I like that the four sisters have distinct personalities and dialog. The highlight is Jennifer Espisito. She plays a very warm, caring older sister. It's much different than what I've seen in her before, and she does it well.

I am a girl that grew up with all brothers and when I watch this show, I instantly connect with the images I have had my whole life of having sisters.

Related is great!

Meet the Sorelli sisters. Ginnie, the oldest, is a lawyer and lives with her husband Bob. She is maternal and caring and raised her sisters, since their mother died when they were young. Ann, the next sister, is a psychologist who recently ended her long-term relationship and is feeling unstable. Marjee is the wild one, quick with a witty comeback and sarcasm, but also lots of love for her sisters. She works as a party planner. Rose, the Sorelli baby, is in college and is juggling acting ambitions with medical dreams and two prospective boyfriends.

Related is the kind of show that I find myself wanting to mock, but can't because it weaves the mushy sister moments with irony and humor.

Jennifer Esposito, Kiele Sanchez, Lizzy Caplan, Laura Breckenridge, and Callum Blue make up the kind of cast that anyone would hope for.

Let's just hope it makes it to another season.

I must first say that I wasn't looking for a new show to watch. My T.V. schedule was full with other shows; however, I kept hearing about this show called "Related". I decided to give it a chance, a friend had all the episodes so I decided to watch the first four in one sitting. I was very pleasantly surprised. It is well written and the actors know how to act. There is enough diversity that you can relate to at least one of the characters if not bits of each them. The story lines are good and make you interested in seeing more. I really love the interactions between the sisters, as well as their interactions with the men in the series. Related is a show about family relationships (father/daughter, the new step mom-to-be/the girls, husband/wife, and of course the sisters), as well as relationships between potential boyfriends and the women. This is a show which you can laugh with the characters, as well as cry. I am glad that The WB has added this show to their Monday night line-up to hopefully give it a chance to survive.

I am usually into shows like Friends and Smallville but I actually fell in love with Related it's a really good show. They act like real sisters who are very different, they don't always agree and they each have their own individuality which makes it easy for anyone to relate to at least one of them. Ginnie is the older one, the "Always does the right thing", at first she kind of annoyed me with the voice but as the show went on it kind of mixes in with her character somehow and it works, Anne I still have yet to understand, Marjee is crazy, she's basically the screw up and Rose is just unpredictable....I mean when I first started watching the show I thought I had her all figured out but she keeps surprising me. It's a funny show and very entertaining, sometimes you think you know where it may lead and then you don't, I never miss it, if I have to go out I record it.

This show is just so much more then I thought it would be. I was half-expecting another drama that would get boring in a few weeks, but I found myself wanted to watch more of Related. The character Ginny played by Jennifer Esposito is a little annoying sometimes but keeps up with the others when it counts. The character Anne however has WAY to much drama in her life, as wrong as it was to see her hook up with a college guy, couldn't help myself from thinking "good for you". Marjee is by far my favorite, she's free spirited and actually really funny to watch, she has a great character and I personally believe that Lizzy Caplan is a good actress. Rose's character has begun to blossom and I think will slowly but surely be more enjoyable to watch. And to finish, who DOESN'T love a cute British man trying to live a life with a crazy wife and her three CRAZY sisters. "Related" is actually really funny and entertaining. If you haven't given it a shot yet, I strongly suggest you do.
