    Watching these actors over the course of “Flesh and Blood” is consistently enjoyable. ... Alas, the story line, written by Sarah Williams (“Small Island,” “Becoming Jane”), is a bit less compelling. ... It’s all fairly juicy and melodramatic, but ultimately not especially original or surprising.

    At points, Flesh and Blood’s writing is too on the nose. ... But elsewhere, Williams is great at showing the speed with which siblings transition from laughing through games of charades to jabbing at each other’s drinking habits. Your family knows you better than anyone else, that’s why they end up hurting you so much.
