Sons of Anarchy



Hm. New Tuesday night series 'Sons of Anarchy' started last night. I like it, looks like there will be a lot of plot going on in the show, looking forward to next week already.
Charlie Hunnam, who would have thought it, eh? I vaguely remember him from Queer as Folk, though that was a long time ago - but was happily surprised to hear he's been working in the States for 10 years now - doesn't sound like he's from Newcastle any more, that's for sure.



Anyways. The series is about a motorcycle gang that in a sort of twisted way sees itself as the protector of their community. They want to keep drugs out of the streets of their town, but are happy to traffic guns. The main character is Jackson Teller (Hunnam), his father founded the club after his return from Vietnam. He finds himself caught in between loyalty to the club and the way of life and to what he feels is right. Looks to be an epic struggle to me. Oh and lovely to see Katey Sagal as Jax's mom (remember she used to be in Married... with Children) - I really really like her.
