What, nobody watched? Despite mixed reviews I think this is definitely the next "Shield", simply because of its grittiness und unpleasentness, which I love. The journey that lies ahead of Jax, the protagonist, seems to be very promising also, and the whole looks of the show, its cinematography, is not only very appealing to me but somewhat "Shield"ish, also.

Granted, it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but what really great show is? If you haven't watched it yet, please give it a chance and do so before episode 2 airs. I am totally thrilled with "Sons of Anarchy", it's much, much better than I thought it would be when I first heard about the premise, 'It's about a motorcycle gang'. Among the best series to premiere in years, I'd say.

Enjoy!

HBO is working on a show with the very similar idea.

I was gonna try to catch this. Will try to watch a repeat.

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

I haven't followed a series in years (I tried with Terminator:SCC, but that died for me four weeks in), and truly regret not watching The Shield and The Wire. So I made sure to tune in last night. And I was very happy with the show, so I'll be tuning in every week for the foreseeable future.

Very well done, and very good set-up. Lots of great character actors in Sons of Anarchy, and a very appealing lead.
Hey buddy...did you just see a real bright light?

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

I just finally caught up on this on the dvr. Really liked it especially on the second viewing. Some really good character actors in this.

Was real surprised to see Mitch Pileggi(Skinner X- Files) a white supremacist?? LOL!!!

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

I wasn't blown away but it was pretty entertaining. I always enjoy seeing Ron Pearlman, Katie Sagal and Mitch Pileggi so I'll keep watching.

If you've got On Demand, they have the episodes in HD.

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

I've been waiting for this show for quite a while, and I wasn't disappointed! Being a big Sopranos fan, I always wished there was a show like it, but about bikers. I will be definitely watching this every week.

After episode 2, I'm officially in love with this show! Incredible! Let's hope it will last.....looking at the ratings it's by no means a safe bet, not even on FX. They canceled Dirt, after all.

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

I've always loved motorcycle gang movies and documentaries. I remember watching a documentary about the Hell's Angels, and it was absolutely riveting.
I'm going to catch the pilot for this show, and start watching it weekly.

I'm intrigued.

I am enjoying it so far, though I liked the pilot better than this ep. Still getting setup.

That's the main reason I'm going to try to catch this show - I'm a Perlman fan, too.

Argh, I missed this Wed's episode. Anyone know where I can catch it online? Doesn't look like FX shows the replays on their site.

I'm just north of Boston and our Comcast On Demand has it under the TV series menu then under FX. It's the only thing that FX offers On Demand so far.

Anyone watching? I enjoyed this ep a lot more than the last one. More character intros, more setup, I like how the scope is slowly broadening.

I'm liking it too....not totally drawn in, but liking it.

Gotta say, Katey Sagal is outstanding in this show. Long long way from Peggy Bundy!

Finally caught up with my recordings -- thumbs up from me!

(I still think of Charlie Hunnam as Nathan on the British "QAF".)

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

I've been a fan of this show from the beginning.

It's been building and leaving me wanting more "Cow Bell".


This week's ep was The "Cow Bell" and judging by the previews it doesn't look like it's going to let up.


Wow..

Great line from last night's ep..

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

Does anyone know what that acoustic tune was at the end of tonight's (10/29) episode was? It's so familiar, but I just can't place it...

Six worlds prayed to her, they built her temples, conquered planets, and yet one day she still rode off and destroyed all six worlds. And when the last warrior was dying he said "We gave you everything, why did you destroy us?" and she looked down upon him and she whispered, "Because I can".

CCR - Fortunate Son. I noticed it from the first few plucked notes from the guys in the park. Cool version of the song.

Great news it got picked up.
One of my favorite shows now on TV.

Close to Burn Notice which is just about tops.

Really good so far.

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

This is my favorite new show in many, many years. It shouldn't be (I missed The Shield and The Wire), but I'm completely hooked. I know nothing about motorcycles, clubs, small town politics, or any of this.

But I love this show. I'm going to actually be depressed when the first season is done and I have to wait for Season 2.

Re: Sons of Anarchy - Season 1 (FX)

It took a little to hook me but I'm 100% interested in this show now. Kurt Sutter is using the same great "How can they get out of this?!" tension that they used so well on The Shield.
