Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 [R]

[TheSlipperyOne]

I put a season 1 header as I hope there will be more to follow. FX usually gives each new series at least one full season and this one looks like it could be good.

Biker gang intrigue with gritty anti-heroes created by one of the main writers from The Shield.

We'll see how it goes with the first episode tonight.

Wife and I finally got around to watching it tonight, we both enjoyed it. I think the acting is top notch and am definitely looking forward to seeing the gangs take each other on.

I watched the Pilot last night and enjoyed it. Every show FX has done has been great so I dont see this being any different.

The acting is very good and the storyline looks to be entertaining.

Meant to catch this and forgot to set the DVR. It looked intriguing and I'll have to catch the rerun and future episodes.

I thought is a pretty good for a pilot. It set up a lot of different story arcs. It feels a little derivative of things like The Sopranos and other gangster shows and movies. Hopefully the top notch acting talent can elevate it along with the the writing team not having to introduce everyone in the always tricky pilot episode.

Katy Segal was fantastic and Ron Perlman is always solid.


Did it feel an awful lot like a Hamlet/MacBeth cross to anyone else?

Ghost of the father. Two-faced thunderc*nt mother. Step-dad. Death everywhere...

Yeah, it does actually.

Katy Segal's character is interesting. I bet she causes a lot of shit.

I've read a bunch of reviewers who reference that as well and I'd have to say the pilot definitely lends credence.

So I hope this doesn't just turn into Hamlet on wheels. I think the writers should be able to keep it away from this.

As everyone has mentioned the group of actors they have is superb. I like that they have a lot of "Hey I know that guy" character actors who are very good.

OK, this most recent episode seemed kind of pointless to me. While it was entertaining, it didn't look like there was much in the episode that was important going forward.
