Sometimes controversial, sometimes whimsical, and always compelling, Sisters follows the trials and triumphs of the four Reed sisters – Teddy (Sela Ward), Alex (Swoosie Kurtz), Georgie (Patricia Kalember) and Frankie (Julianne Phillips) – as they contend with the challenges within their very different lives. Praised for its frank discussion of many highly charged issues that continue to resonate today, Sisters was considered by many to be a game changer in how television explored the lives of women and family.
