Sons of Anarchy ~ Any good?

[SugarSpunSisters]

I've just about exhausted Netflix (Breaking Bad, Prison Break, Dexter, Justified, (some of) Weeds, (some of) Heroes...

Is Sons if Anarchy any good? It keeps popping up in my recommendations!

It is brilliant, honestly, I love all of the program's you mentioned above and I adore sons of anarchy.

I have re watching it start to finish dozens of times, it really is that good.

Any good? No, it's better! Love SoA!

Is Justified good? We're about to start with that.

It makes for very uncomfortable watching for me as a woman. Of course lots of what goes on is totally objectionable but somehow its treatment of women isn't displayed as obviously wrong. I don't know if I am making any sense. But yes, it is very easy entertainment.

OK I'm gonna start it!

Justified is brilliant! Totally not my thing I thought, then somehow ended up watching it everyday as many as I could

Til there was none left

Well we are all huuuuuuuuuuuuge SOA and Justified fans in this house - please don't ask me to choose between them!! They are both very well written, good characters and excellent stories, watch them both from the beginning to see all the plot twists and turns and how the characters develop,. they are both violent and gruesome in places ( SoA particularly) and obviously on opposite sides of the law. Lead female characters in both very strong and well drawn. SoA is about a bad ass biker club and therefore violence/bad language / bad attitudes to (some) women are to be expected as part of the scene, but it is surprisingly tender in places, and some very good plot lines. Jax Teller has got to be one of the most gorgeous characters, ever...... but my heart really belongs to Raylan Givens, Timothy Olyphant is just magnificent in this role, and the series is written by the excellent Graham Yost who wrote Band of Brothers, a series which, to me, has never been bettered on film or TV.

Can you guess which programme we love?

Ha I knew she wasn't in Justified or Dexter and after watching Se01 Ep01 of Sons of Anarchy I know now!
