Guess what I did?

I did it for 10 hours straight!

This weekend Richard I started our venture into Sons of Anarchy.


Everyone kept telling us we HAD to watch, because we're so into bikes. I find flaws in this logic, but we still bought the DVDs and spent TEN hours in front of the TV watching most of the second season. We had 4 episodes to go, but it was 4am and I couldn't handle it anymore.

First, I ride a sport bike. I have a regular LEGAL job and am not a part of any gang. I don't wear leather or drink shots in the morning. This logic of 'you ride a bike' you'll like this show is ridiculous.

This show is consuming. It is not well written or well acted, but it strings you along and leaves you begging for more. I couldn't tear myself away from the characters. I needed to know what happen to poor Gemma. Did Phillip recover? Is Jacks leaving? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE CLUB?!

My only complaint was the lack of conclusion... most hour long dramas have a clear beginning middle and resolution. This show does not. It's like a very long movie with week long intermissions (not if you buy the DVD). It just keeps going... you're begging from someone to step up or step in, tell the truth or forget the past... you're just clinging to resolve and it never comes.

Granted we have not finished season two yet... I have to watch the season finale tonight (we tried to finish the season last night, but a late start kept me up till 1a and I just didn't have the strength to go on for ONE MORE HOUR. It's always ONE MORE HOUR.)

Everyone at work watches this show and all claim it to be their soap opera. I agree. Everyone is a lying, cheating whore, but still the characters remain lovable. And everyone seems to be VERY forgiving despite their tough exterior... oh and they hug A LOT.

For the ladies... its a good looking cast that oozes masculinity. Just look...



You're welcome.

I do recommend the show for some mind numbing fun, but don't think you'll love it or hate it based on the number of wheels you have.

I will let you know how much I love it (or hate it) after the season finale.
