Sons of Anarchy - anyone seen this?

[Bren]

Just started watching the pilot of Sons OF Anarchy today...Not a bad series by the looks of it. It's about a M/C Gang in Cali....

Anyone else seen this series???

http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/96236577/sons+of+anarchy?tab=summary

[Cajun]

Yup downloaded s1 when it was shown state side, and download each esp of s2 when it comes out up to esp 10 of 12 at moment.

Its not to bad series, the harleys some of them ride, do not look very 'bikey gang like' tho

[Ecclesnz]

While the bikes may not look very "bikey gang", goddamn the story's getting good in season 2 don't you think?

[Cajun]

yeah it is getting good.

[Bren]

Yup....finished watching Pilot tonight....gonna get the rest of season one over the next couple of days....

Sorta like a west coast version of The Sopranos

[scumdog]

It generally gets bagged on a US Harley forum, a fair few lols involved in their comments.

For SoA, Ive seen every episode of sopranos tho

[HenryDorsetCase]

You know how most TV/movie depictions of motorcycle riders completely suck arse?

I have found one that doesnt. This TV show is called Sons of Anarchy. Season 2 has just finished airing in the US.

Basically (for the classically trained among you) the story is Hamlet, except the setting is an outlaw biker gang based in a fictional Northern California town.

It sounds kind of lame, but as with all TV it is all about the execution. Here we have a really good cast (Katey Segall, Ron Perlman) plus a number of people who you've seen before, and the writing is top notch. If you enjoyed "The Shield" (which is in my view the best cop show made in the last ten years) then the guy behind the Shield (Kurt Sutter) is the guy behind this (he also plays a cameo role in it).

This is TV like the Sopranos that has you cheering for the "Bad" guys, and pondering the whole thing of who are the bad guys and who are the good guys, really: that whole thing of its not black or white, just shades of grey.

This is totally worth using some of your "broadband" capacity to download, or do what I did and get the DVDs from Amazon.

Bonus for motorcycle riders: Most of the cast actually ride. Sure, its all Harleys but they're actually riding.

[wbks]

This is teh same show that people on here were calling ghey 6 weeks ago

[CookMySock]

Cheering? Harleys? :blink:

It's pretty clear most bike show producers aren't bikers, because they miss the plot every time.

Biking is about the cameraderie, the skills, the machines, the journey, the destination, the adventure, and the bit they completely miss - the feeling of it.

[Bren]

I got to series 1 Episode 4 and gave up....what looked promising ended up rather lackluster.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I got to series 1 Episode 4 and gave up....what looked promising ended up rather lackluster.

there is a lot of setup/exposition in those early episodes that pays off later in the series.

and its only INCIDENTALLY about bikers: like the Sopranos was INCIDENTALLY about the Mafia.

I dont give a crap what anyone else thinks of it to be honest, I like it, Ive shared my opinion, and if your opinion is you don't like it, well you're entitled to a misguided and wrong opinion.

[onearmedbandit]

Watched the first two seasons, it's nothing ground breaking but it is good TV.

[nosebleed]

Agreed. For some reason i couldn't get 'Mask' out of my head.
Some good moments tho, be interesting to see how much makes it onto tv.

The end to season 2 would have been funnier if the dealer had been Australian.

[Latte]

Watching the 3rd now, it's starting to get a bit odd. Definitely not as good as the previous seasons.

[onearmedbandit]

Agreed. For some reason i couldn't get 'Mask' out of my head.


Haha, so true, so very true.

[Paul in NZ]

I'm not watcvhing it on principle - and because its on TV... I mean whos got time?

[nosebleed]

I'm not watcvhing it on principle - and because its on TV... I mean whos got time?

Which principle?
Guns
Bikes
or Boobies?

[The Everlasting]

Cheers for the heads up,never heard of this show,are they starting it from season 1?

[AllanB]

Which principle?
Guns
Bikes
or Boobies?

I make it a principle to keep an eye on boobies ..........

[Patrick]

Which principle?
Guns
Bikes
or Boobies?

I thought it was glorifying a pack of scrotes.... I am interested now, suddenly.....

[Conquiztador]

Cheers for the heads up,never heard of this show,are they starting it from season 1?
Yep, from season 1. Suppose if you want to compare it to something it has a "Sopranos" feel to it. But on bikes and with all that it brings to it.


I thought it was glorifying a pack of scrotes.... I am interested now, suddenly.....
Watch and make up your own mind. I am a fan.

[onearmedbandit]

Yeah that's a good way to describe it.


Watch and make up your own mind. I am a fan.

I was a fan of Soprano's as well, and I like SOA as well.

[porky]

Im in. Thanx for the heads up

Do we get boobies from episode 1?

[The Lone Rider]

The original plot loosely follows Hamlet, with a father speaking from the dead, a matriarch, and a new father the son clashes heads with.

Season 2 drops that line of plot and does something different, with Season 3 picking up from the end of Season 2 and getting maybe a tad carried away.

But at the end of the day, it is a show so they have to add in some stuff for the sake of entertainment.


The script is written accurately in so far as the way the bikers talk in club lingo, as well as the relationships between the various roles in the club and their hang arounds. All around, it's fairly accurate light into that "world" of biking with the violence and storyline glorified for the sake of TV.

But are there boobies?

[The Lone Rider]

Yes, and I can attest to the closeness to reality the amount of boobies on SOA to a real life motorcycle club.

Apparently SOA favorite position is often doggy.

[HenryDorsetCase]

I thought it was glorifying a pack of scrotes.... I am interested now, suddenly.....

not really. watch the first four or so episodes.

What it actually is (particularly in s2) is Hamlet.

There is some very good writing and acting in it, give it a whirl.

[Headbanger]

I tried to watch it, Couldn't sit through the first hour, The way that poncy lead actor walks would get him laughed at and knocked on his arse. Hell, it would have been even better material then the old "sticks under the arms" that people would suffer from.

Douchebags.

oh yeah, Nice hair Mr Fake.

[The Lone Rider]

So, after the pilot episode...

Have SOA got some new kiwi fans?

[Murray]

Were there boobies????

[MSTRS]

The bikes all had bikini fairings. Does that count?

[bogan]

So, after the pilot episode...

Have SOA got some new kiwi fans?

for now, but there better be some boobies in future eps...

[scumdog]

I thought it was glorifying a pack of scrotes.... I am interested now, suddenly.....

Their patches all look way too new:yes:

[scumdog]

not really. watch the first four or so episodes.

I thought there was a familiararity (sp) of plot...:yes:

[The Everlasting]

I wasn't that impressed,I may watch a few more episodes and see how it goes.

[porky]

sort of reminded me of "Boy" and the three crazy horse gang members, but with out the humour.

Try for next week and the boobies.

[Smifffy]

Might give it a couple more watches to see if it picks up a bit.

And also to see if there are more and betterer bewbs.

[Ladydragon]

Looks like the second series of The Sons Of Anarchy starts this Wednesday channel 3
should be good the first one was.

[Ladydragon]

Forgot to write the time sorry 9:30pm channel 3

[chanceyy]

cool ta for that, not such a long gap to wait for the next series .. Excellent !!!

[Kendog]

Awesome, can't wait.

[shrub]

I really wanted to like it, but only lasted 2 episodes. The immaculately clean colours and the way the cast acted just didn't seem at all like my memories of 1%ers. OK, they were mostly dickheads (viewed from maturity, at the time I thought they were cool), but they were hard bastards whereas the SOA came across as being too Hollywood.

I also saw very little riding and few bikes - has the series improved? Should I start watching?

[bogan]

fuck yeh! end of last season was getting pretty good, glad not a huge wait till this one

[Genestho]

Oh, there's a story???? I only watch it for Jax :love:

[k14]

Thats cause the first series aired in the US in 2008. They have had 3 seasons play now. It is a solid program but nothing too spectacular. Worth the watch.

[shrub]

yeah .. know what you mean ... but then, showing too much reality would scare the hell out of most viewers ...

THat's about my opinion as well ..

Yeah I seen that when I googled it .. and Season 4 has given the green light, although the goss is season 2 is the best :) so a definite must watch

[nallac]

Season three's the best one....

Bummer, gonna have to wait till September for series 4 to air in the US.

Lol. What were you expecting, a documentary?

[shrub]

Lol. What were you expecting, a documentary?

No, something that wasn't sanitised white bread Hollywood - maybe something that actually looked like a series about 1%ers.

[scissorhands]

Men who went to war, and killed men for their country, only to wake up to the lies they were told. The rest of their lives spent running from the daily horror being played out in fornt of them, but hidden for the masses who have yet to learn to see.

Would that be on prime?

[nosebleed]

No wonder you're so disappointed.

[Ladydragon]

He has stupid hair :yes:

[Maha]

Unlike Ron Pearlman in 'Beauty and the Beast'...:facepalm:

The vice president of an MC????? He is so PRETTY! I bet all the boys want to join his club.

[hellokitty]

He is one strange looking guy - I think he is looking better with age - but still very strange...

[riffer]

He is one strange looking guy - I think he is looking better with age - but still very strange...


Is it just me, or does anyone else reckon Ron Perlman is the spitting image of Duke Nukem in this programme?

[Genestho]

How 'bout Henry Rollins character, eh?
It's no wonder Katy Sagal won Golden Globes this year.

This series is going to be a goody!

I thought I recognised the Pres...of course - Beauty and the Beast!!

[Paul in NZ]

Ah - the glorification of american biker culture. The honest criminal, the lovable rogue... These people kill people and run guns to others who kill people? Anti hero's or the normalisation of criminals? Its a bloody wonderful HD advertising medium but at the general expense of motorcyclings image I suspect... (not that I really care)

I dunno - I personally wont watch it on priciple but then again I have very little time for TV. I watch Time Team, some historical programs (I enjoyed the one on the stock market crash and the medievil mind) and feck all else. At my age I aim to become a little smarter every year and crap like that has the opposite effect...

I thought i would hate it but instead I am hooked... sure it is a bit sanitised for general consumption but in spirit its not a long way from the truth ( in my own experience anyway).
Its not supposed to be a doco, its just pure entertaining fiction.

Katey Segal is absolutely superb as the matriach. Brilliant

Jax is a lovely toy boy, but waaaaaaaaaay too pretty for my tastes.

Now the irish guy Chibs...hmmmmmmmmmmm oh yeah baby.

And Bobby, I know so many guys like him...totally real character.

But it isn't (sorry).

Without giving anything away, you know when drama series that start with a theme, after the 2nd or 3rd series have less and less to do with that theme, and become more like a generic soap?

:(

[bogan]

cool! that'll be three seasons back to back then, good effort :D

I thought the same and may not watch the next series. Action is likely to be replaced with mush.

[chanceyy]

from the critics read apparently series 2 is the best .. yay not to far away to watch the next one . :wari: .. awesome

I'm a fan, too. And I've er, heard. that series 3 is excellent. Quite slow to develop but the payoff is terrific.

[Ladydragon]

I hope it doesn't go all mushy but everyone has their different opion about things

[Ladydragon]

But it isn't (sorry).

Do you own every series on dvd did?

[HenryDorsetCase]

I hope it doesn't go all mushy but everyone has their different opion about things

depends what you mean by mushy: after the end of s2, s3 has to be about Jax recovering Abel from the people who kidnapped him, right? So that's the core story arc.

Bear in mind that the bikes and biker lifestyle are windowdressing for exploring Sutter's themes which revolve around a code of honour, do people do what is right, or what is expedient, family and family relationships etc. He is blessed with a clear vision and story direction, he has a seven series arc planned, and is blessed with an excellent talented cast.

I think it will be structured like The Shield (where Sutter was on staff): that had a seven series run, and the final scene of the final episode was directly relevant to series 1 episode 1, scene 1.

In my view series 3 is much better than series 2, and the payoff in the final episode is really good.

Check out Kurt Sutter's blog: He isn't very active presently because he is flat out writing (they may have even started shooting) series 4.

http://sutterink.blogspot.com/

[Latte]

Do you own every series on dvd did?

I have all the series yes. On err DVD.. perhaps not :innocent:

I get where HDC is coming from and I can see the story arc, I just don't see why they can't keep what initially gets us watching in the series as it progresses (this is true for a lot of TV shows, not just SOA).

MY fav TV show of all time was the wire, a cop show with the emphasis on surveilance etc. They kept the idea of surviellance and technology going through the whole thing , while still telling an intriguing story (imo).

Horses for courses I guess.

[AllanB]

Looking forward to it.


I keep waiting on Al Bundy to make a guest appearance as a bumbling shoe salesman!

[Ladydragon]

I just had a read of what it said about the series in the May14th-20th tv guide thats how I knew when it was starting also I saw an add on tv about it.Is sounds like its going to be good.

[MIXONE]

Looking forward to it.

I would say my favourite series that was on tv was the Sopranos but I must admit the very final series 6 the second one ended really bizzare things can still happen there is a witness for something Tony did but they arn't going to make a 7th series

That one I own every box set to and got both series 6 before it was played here

I'm not sure why you're confused: it is very clear that Tony is shot and killed in the diner by the "Man in the Members Only Jacket" at the end of the final episode.

Nice , me too . But i recently found out that the main actors had a clause in their contracts for a movie once the series ended , and also that Tony is not dead ..
I have the 3 series on dvd of SOA , looking forward to #4 in october .. :yes:

I'd already figured out that every single perso inside that dinner had been in every single series episode the cubs,the truck driver,guys that tried to kill Tony while in the car and so on.I did feel while watching it when the truck driver was watching Tony in the dinner he was going to kill him.

I'll have another look at it tonight on tv

Thanks

Another thing to note towards the end Tony was openly talking "family" business with his wife , this doesnt happen in the mob plus his kids were moving on .
He had gambling problem hence $$$ worries . His supposedly killing , was it or did he turn ..:shit:

I like how you think running in with a machine gun and shooting them all makes you somehow different from said 'white trash criminal-faggots'

As to Tony W... sometimes when you enjoy something no matter how mind numbing, ya do it cause you have had a big / bad / unusual day and want entertainment, each to their own I say. I watch Doco's and Motorbike Racing regularly too.:scooter:

[dangerous]

ok ok... just catching up with the KB SOA threads (so much shit on here ya miss some of the beter threads)
What series are we watching at the mo? I started with the end of the last series and thought it to be wankie yank crap... but dont like to admit it but yeah kinda hooked in fact I dont watch TV at all but SOA I try to make a point of now.

It seems a bit different to what ya expect of the yanks aye, the good people, children etc are dieing, usually the badies die and the goodies win.

Anyway just posting so as my auto subs locks me into the thread, its a hard one aye cos ya root for the sons even tho ya know they deserve all they get :blink:

so what series is this and how many series are there?

Kurt Sutter also had his first day with the writers for Season 4, today.

hahaha... you must love this series :facepalm: right up your alley... pissed my self stuid when I seen your "prospect" patched up at woodstock hahaha, talk about fucked up man. :blink:


I thought i would hate it but instead I am hooked... sure it is a bit sanitised for general consumption but in spirit its not a long way from the truth ( in my own experience anyway).
Its not supposed to be a doco, its just pure entertaining fiction.

Katey Segal is absolutely superb as the matriach. Brilliant

Jax is a lovely toy boy, but waaaaaaaaaay too pretty for my tastes.

Now the irish guy Chibs...hmmmmmmmmmmm oh yeah baby.

And Bobby, I know so many guys like him...totally real character.

same... and all but Chibs I agree with ya :scooter:

The episode that just aired was S03E01 and is called "SO". that season has aired in the US. Season 4 is in preproduction/shooting and will have an air date in September this year I think.

The first two seasons are good, too. Season 3 starts pretty slow, but the last couple of episodes are as good as anything Ive ever seen, including THE WIRE and THE SOPRANOS (and of course STAR TREK).

there is an episode called "NS" as well: Jax wears two rings one with "SO" and the other with "NS" on it, and thats the reference. in case you were wondering.

Hi folks, are there any Sons of Anarchy fans out there? TV3 is running a competition where you can upload a photo of yourself and your motorcycle. It's a good way to show off your wheels...

http://www.tv3.co.nz/Shows/SonsOfAnarchy/Win.aspx

[Maha]

Insane1 would my pick...where is he these days?

[jmmk]

Probably the most overhyped, overrated, crappy and unrealistic show(I know it's TV) that I've ever seen. Only good thing about it is Katey Sagal. IMO of course.

[pritch]

Insane1 would my pick...where is he these days?

Scummy with his skull mask could look the part?

Oh bugger, if only the missus hadn't traded her VL250:facepalm:

[HenryDorsetCase]

Theres at least two threads on SOA already. but I will stick my hand up and say I'm a fan.

I am amused by how seriously people take it though. its just a TV show FFS

[MotoKuzzi]

I'm a fan, but it's just light entertainment, with a good twist or two to the story to make it watchable.

[MIXONE]

[scumdog]

I'm a fan, but it's just light entertainment, with a good twist or two to the story to make it watchable.

My sentiments too..

"Bubble-gum for the mind" is the way I see that kind of TV fare.

[Renegade]

yeah im a fan, got that soap on mysky series link.

bit stink to see that cop hail get run over, he was going to be good to see go corrupt.

resisting the urge to www it and watch more.

[baptist]

My sentiments too..

"Bubble-gum for the mind" is the way I see that kind of TV fare.

+1 usual sort of standard for a US drama / soap series, I don't have to think, I can switch off and relax watching it if I have the TV on.

[Big Dave]

What Sky Sports Channel is it on????

[HungusMaximist]

Nice. I've just uploaded a few photos of myself.

I only watched it once and that was enough..

I know way too much about this show. Only because I read Sutter's blog. He's hilarious.

thats what I thought too.

[nudemetalz]

I....errrr.....might have entered the contest.... ;)

[sugilite]

OK, they are too pretty and do not have enough ink to be real bikers, but to my surprise I found I liked the show :yes:

[leopardskin]

i love the way every one of their awesome plans for 'retribution' or making money goes completely pear shaped :facepalm: that may be the only accurate thing about the show! funny stuff.

[Viscount Montgomery]

It's getting better all the time, it's entertainment, the bullshit is there only vaguely in the background where no-one takes themselves seriously. There's Hellboy and the tough wise-cracking bounty hunter from The Chronicles Of Riddick as shrewd leader calling the shots and Brad Pitt look-alike just generally oozing coolness with their hard-bitten staunch-as-fuck biker brothers having shoot-outs with the enemy left, right, and centre while the local cops owe them favours and look the other way... All chicks on Sons of Anarchy are smoking hot and slightly ruffled/ragged, And Peg Bundy still has big tits and as biker chick is one tough female. And the bikers have no qualms about baseball bat or fist fights as well as guns and knife fights.. Whats not to like??

Absolutely, I said as much on the other thread, I find it a really entertaining watch and its bloody addictive...

Anyone else seen this series???

[Conquiztador]

Agree fully. What is there not to like? Surely beats all the dozens of crappy reality cooking shows that tend to be the latest fad. And with the ability these days to wahtch it on the puter when you have the time we do not have to miss any episodes!

Come to think of it; Would love a 1%'er reality TV show! Endless opportunities there! Where is a TV producer when you need one?

...Never again miss a tantalizing episode, go to "TV on demand" and find out how Skully got his Red Wings, why Crap had 3 years added to his sentence, what is the reason that Heke's missus is beaten up and see how Necktie's dealings got him that cool V-Rod.

Lame fictions.

Who would put a fairing on drag bars!

[Big Dave]

most of the stuff on tv these days is crap.IMO.:dodge:

This is actually what I was concurring with.
I have the full noise SKY package - apart from live sport, I spend much more time on You Tube now.

The Biker genre has always been a bit 'schlocky'. Brando set the bar and Billy Jack lowered it. The TV extends it.

My favourite film bikers were the Black Widows:

LMFAO... actually for a yank bull shit progame "predictable" it has not been, good guys die :shit:

[HenryDorsetCase]

absolutely. I was so surprised when they killed David Hale.

I love how June Stahl's scheming and lying (not to mention shooting her partner) came back and bit her in the arse. And Chibs and Opie got to get even (though really Clay is to blame for Donna's death)

Season 3 started slow, then the big diversion, but I thought the payoff was good.

I've been watching FALLING SKIES. Cable series about alien invasion. Starring Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood. It started well but was waaaaay waaaaaay too talky, and there was insufficient violence. I watched thru till the end but meh.

Sort of like the bad bits of THE WALKING DEAD but without the good bits.

[Maha]

LMFAO... actually for a yank bull shit progame "predictable" it has not been, good guys die :shit:

Episodes 1-30 (or whatever)...some bikers get the shits with either each other or some arsehole new to the area and have a fight, with or without guns.
Roll credits.

Hmmm, finely got round to watching it... thought it was going a bit predictable but the turn around that the club was in on it all was good, loughed at the wanker guy when he gave over the counterfit and sat on the scot's lap and was offered a wank, clay said to put it away LOL, notice the t in a O so the IRA would get the blame for the atf and jimmies death... yeah I enjoyed it, spose thats my TV time used for the year.

For those watching it before TV3 buys the rights to broadcast in NZ, it may be a good idea for there to be a polite agreement on here not to post plot spoilers. For those who will see it first on TV3.

Although a 10 second click onto Youtube, or Kurt Sutters own pages, will show you a fair amount of footage and plot.

[gunrunner]

Been watching series 4 tits gettin good ..

[The Lone Rider]

Officially confirmed today - even though there are 7 new episodes to air in USA (13 to go in NZ), Season 5 has been booked in for production.

Season 5 Episode 1 out.

And was gooood....

[The Lone Rider]

And was gooood....

I agree.

Though I was (and still am) a little worried the writer(s) are gonna run out of ideas and just start throwing in random baddies and factions here and there.

Kinda felt like that last season.

And they did that a little bit in 501 with the sudden introduction of Pope (who they all knew of beforehand!) and that dating firm guy.

[cynna]

got given the first couple of seasons and finally gave in and watched the pilot for s1. was better then i thought so will watch the rest

[The Lone Rider]
