S.O.A.

Snowpocalypse 2011 has brought many things , A Clean Apartment , Laundry getting done , Lots of boredom, an onset of Cabin Fever and yes quite possibly a new TV show to latch onto.

Over the last couple of years , I've heard from multiple people tell me you gotta try out Sons of Anarchy , its really good. I never did , but then my boy the Media Hero started it , he got hooked and has been talking it up non-stop ever since!! This guy honestly talked it up to the point to where it was kind of annoyying, but in the end i got to hand it to him , He was right.

Sons of Anarchy is set in the fictional town of Charming California and is based around a Motorcycle Gang , there lives and there business. The show's lead character is Jax Teller the Vice Prez of the Sons of Anarchy , younger than most members but Jax sits second in command only to his Step Father Clay Morrow. I cant lie Jax is pretty much the definition of a hard-ass, although sometimes he does look like a complete and total Cholo with his flannel shirts buttoned all the way up. Jax's mother is married to Clay so running the Motorcycle Gang is pretty much family business.
The show also has the great Ron Perlman in it , if you IMDB'd that dude he has been in a crap load of stuff! Katie Sagal is Jax's mom , she is probably best known for being Peg Bundy , not a bad gig to land as one of the lead's of this show , although i guess it doesnt hurt when your married to the show's creator. There are a bunch of other actors in it , that you recognize from Movies over the years. The show's creator is Kurt Sutter , Kurt is a guy who was a writer of and very influential in The Shield another huge hit for FX and quite possibly this blogger's favorite TV show of all time. That was definitely one of the things that hooked me to the show , when I learned Kurt Sutter was the creator , Sons has a very Shield feel in the way it's shot , not to mention the adult nature both in content and violence. FX definitely allows guy's like Sutter to tote that line where it's just barely passible for cable , basically it doesn't say the F Word and doesn't show complete Nudity so it doesn't have to be on HBO. Ill fully admit though if Sons was on HBO it would be way better!!!!!

Considering i watched Season 1 in the span of a bout 15 hours , I'd say I'm pretty much hooked , I will be getting seasons 2 and 3 knocked out shortly and be jonesing for Season 4 to roll around. As of right now it still ranks behind Breaking Bad and Dexter and probably Boardwalk Empire although i still have a couple of episodes to finish season 1 of it. Sons has made a quick jump up to the top of my TV charts and after Dexter's lackluster season I could see it jumping up to No. 2 behind Breaking Bad possibly. who knows what the future holds. And to the Media Hero- Nice Job my friend you did not lead me astray SOA- GOOD TV!
