Before spring finally shows its face, we might have a few more weekends where we just want to be lazy and watch some TV. There is a plethora of things to watch during the week, but for those of us who like a good DVD marathon, I HIGHLY reccomend Sons of Anarchy.
This show usually airs on FX which is a channel a lot of people skip over. But for YEARS has been putting out high quality, premium channel worthy content. Nip/Tuck, Damages, and The Shield are all FX originals and they are/were fantastic television (Nip/Tuck has jumped the shark but that's another post).
I had never heard of Sons of Anarchy until this past fall. My co-worker would religously recap every detail of the show to a friend who ALWAYS seemed to miss the original airing over the phone. I'm telling you this girl is better then pressing play on your DVR. Overhearing snippets about gangs, and gun-running, the IRA, prison. It sounded like a possible replacement for the void that The Wire had left. So on a recent trip cross country trip I decided to load up my iTunes and dig in....
Sons of Anarchy (SOA) features a motorcycle gang that fiercly protects, each other and their small town in Northen California. Through the various and elaborate illegal dealings of the motorcycle gang we the viewers are dragged deeper and deeper into a world where cops will look the other way and the rules of "the club" regin supreme even above one's family.
For the ladies, this is one that you can get your man into as well. It has enough grit and illegal acitvity that he will be sucked in for hours on end. If you watch Gangland with a dropped jaw you will love this show!
Season 1 and 2 are available on iTunes and on DVD
