US dramas often fail to deliver after the first couple of series but that is far from the case with B & S. Once again the script writers have created new believable storylines for each individual. Nora Walker continues to love and nuture her family as best she can whilst maintaining her inability to keep a secret. Sarah's love life is still like a yo yo. Kitty experiences troubles with her health. Kevin & Scotty grow in their marriage. Justin & Rebecca love for one another is tested throughout the series. As ever the fringe characters of Hollie, Saul, and the children often provide the best entertainment. William Walker still manages to haunt the family several years after his death.
Each episode will require tissues for tears of joy and sorrow. Just when you think no more devastation can happen to the Walker family, it hits you part way through, like a stab to the heart. From that moment on every episode is spot on, the actors convey every line they have with poignancy, wit and sentiment where needed. Sally Field, Calista Flockhart & Rachel Griffiths never fail to provide flawless performances, with their understanding of one another almost like they were family.
This series is not for the faint hearted, but as always provides the goods for an entertaining and enjoyable programme. A must buy if you have seen the previous three series. If not go out and buy them beforehand!
