Sons of Anarchy

sonsI borrowed season 1 of Sons of Anarchy on DVD from my cousin and all I have to say is “holy shit, I love TV so fucking much.” I watched the first episode around 7 o’clock on Saturday night and finished the season this afternoon, but if I wouldn’t have had Nolan coming over today I probably would have blown through the entire first season that night. To me that’s one of the best feelings in the world when you get really wrapped up in a show and you don’t care what time it is, you just know that you want to watch ONE MORE episode and then when that one episode ends you somehow talk yourself into one more after that. That was me last night, Sons of Anarchy is a really good show and coming from me that means something. Not because my taste in TV is impeccable (it is), but because this show is not really in my wheelhouse. Tatted up bikers and Harleys aren’t exactly what you would call my thing (fags), but there is something about this show that completely hooked me and in just one 24 hour watching period this show entered the pantheon of shows I got addicted to along with LOST, Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, Weeds (which ended up disapponting me and then slightly winning me back), The Wire and Baywatch Nights. (Just seeing if you were paying attention with that last one.) It’s that good. Great actors (Katey Sagal, Lloyd from Undeclared, Hellboy, Don Draper’s Jewish girlfriend, dudes from X-Files and Deadwood, the list goes on and on), not a single dull episode in season one and just a really good season-long (and the makings of a series-long) arc. Great, great show.
