"Sons of Anarchy" Revolts Against the Mundane

Sons of Anarchy is an FX series that has been on for three seasons and the fourth is do out this year. Now I've never really been into the whole biker gang story but I gave this show a chance. The cast includes some interesting characters such as Ron Perlman who's voice is probably more familiar than his face as he is the voice of Hellboy. He is the president of the club as of now. Another familiar face to some is Katey Sagal who played Peggy Bundy in Married...With Children. Here she steps far out of these shows as a hard nose women who takes nothing from anyone. She seems to be the women who can pull anyone's strings. The rest of the cast is rounded out with some less familiar faces, but all are great at what they do. The show portrays the inner workings of the motorcycle club and what it entails. There is murder, guns, sex, and lots of drugs. But then we see love, and guilt as many difficult decisions have to be made. I have only finished the first season but I am glad to jump into the second season. Even if motorcycle gangs don;t seem interesting to you this show goes beyond that and makes a show that will have you biting your nails and feeling as though you too are part of this distortion of a family.

Grade so far: A
