Summary - Perfect 5.0

It’s like The Sopranos, but better! SoA follows the original charter of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club (it’s not a gang) through its trials and tribulations. I’ve only made it through season 2 so far, but I’m assuming the following seasons are/will be just as good.

The description from the official website on FX: FX’s original series, Sons of Anarchy, is an adrenalized drama with darkly comedic undertones that explores a notorious outlaw motorcycle club’s (MC) desire to protect its livelihood while ensuring that their simple, sheltered town of Charming, California remains exactly that, Charming. The MC must confront threats from drug dealers, corporate developers, and overzealous law officers. Behind the MC’s familial lifestyle and legally thriving automotive shop is a ruthless and illegally thriving arms business. The seduction of money, power, and blood.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

As with The Wire, SoA’s cast makes you forget that you’re watching a TV show. With the occasional exception of Jax’s girlfriend, Tara (played by Maggie Siff), this cast is beyond believable — they’re incredible!

Film - Perfect 5.0

Edge - Horrid 3.9

It’s violent, bloody, and gorey.
There’s a lot of swearing and other unsavory dialogue.
There’s some nudity and a lot of shown and implied sexual situations.

Reality - Glib 1.1
