Anyone watch "Sons of Anarchy"? One of the Handi Transit drivers turned me onto it a week or so ago. Not sure how he heard of it because I looked in our channel guide and I don't even see it being broadcast here. I know it's on FOX in the USA. Currently the end of season 3 I believe.

Anyway, I did a Google search for it and found several sites where you can get caught up on TV shows, both new and old. And I'm totally addicted!!! I'm 1/2 way through watching season 2.

Some recognizable cast:

Katey Sagal (Married with Children)
Kim Coats (guest stars on many crime genre shows)
Ron Perlman (Beauty and the Beast)
Adam Arkin (Chicago Hope)
Alley Walker (Profiler)

Sons of Anarchy is a dark drama set in Charming, CA, a sheltered community watched over by a renegade motorcycle club intent on protecting the town from the newcomers that threaten it. Jackson "Jax" Teller is one member of the brotherhood, who finds his own loyalty to the group tested when he experiences its increasing lawlessness and notoriety, while at the same time adjusting to life as a father. Confusing matters are Jax's mother and stepfather, two ruthless individuals who happen to be the masterminds behind the club.

One of the best shows on television. It's on FX, which is a cable network. I don't want to give anything away if someone hasn't seen it yet, but I love how this season ended. Didn't see it coming.

I second that it is one of the greatest shows on telivision. It's one of those shows that makes you mad because it's only on a couple months per year, since they don't do that season splitting like other shows are starting to.

I hear you! I believe the fourth season won't be airing until next fall. Another show I was watching was "The Walking Dead" on AMC. The show only had a first season of six episodes. It also won't be back on until next fall.

We absolutely LOVE this show!
Both Dana and I were addicted and this season's finale was SO good. Not to mention, I could look at tattooed hot biker guys ALL day long.

I'm almost finished Season 2: I think 4 more episodes.

I also found it on Super Channel. I didn't show up in my channel guide because I didn't subscribe to those channels.

I managed to find out that the series is available in Canada on one of the Super Channels, but the series is seriously behind: They are only on episode 2 of Season 3.

I've just been laying in bed watching online using my notebook.

For those who haven't seen it, definitely check out the pilot using the link above.

I like the show but I have to say this (and don't be offended) - I can't help but wonder if those vests/jackets are regularly washed.

I like that whole bad-boy image thing too! Only I can't stand facial hair. Even mustaches totally turn me off.... blech! So I'm not really seeing any "hot" guys with the exception of "Jimmy", from the IRA. Jax was cutesy hot at the start of the series but ruined it all by growing a scruffy looking beard.... did I say *blech*?


Of course Jax is a tough guy with a very sweet/sensitive side, which makes him the ideal bad-boy.

But the tattoos and leather? Oh yeah!!

I've never hung out with bikers, but if it's based on this show where it looks like they only have one jacket/vets...then yeah, they must get pretty ripe.

I finished watching season 3 and all I can say is....

Wow!!!!!

Also, can someone PM me to clarify the ending? I understood most of it, but a few pieces completely went over my head and I don't want to ask here because I don't want to ruin the show/ending for them.

I loved the song at the beginning of the "Lochan Mor" episode when SAMCRO was riding through the Irish countryside. They have some really good music on this show.

Yeah. I loved that song too. I love rock! I've never heard of "Black 47" before, but I'm going to check out some more of their songs and maybe even the CD.
