Sons Of Anarchy pilot review

14 Sep 2008 16:36:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (RikerDonegal)
Type of Pilot: Drama Similar Shows: The Sopranos (they are bad guys, but we like them), The Shield (they are bad guys, but we like them) Impressive Characters: Gemma Teller Morrow (played by Sagal) is one tough lady. Although this is the story of her son Jackson she gets a lot to do in the pilot and she's fun to watch. Jackson... not so much. Less-Than-Impressive Actors: Most members of the club are just forgettable faces in the crowd, but this is early days. Lots of episodes ahead to flesh them out as characters. Thus giving good actors like Kim Coates a chance to shine. Maggie Siff has a few scenes are a potential love-interest for the hero (Charlie Hunnam).

TwoCents 2008 Fall Preview - Wednesdays (FX)

03 Sep 2008 00:01:00 PDT

Written by noreply@blogger.com (KP)
Time: 10:00PM EST Tom R's Overview: The Sons of Anarchy are a motorcycle gang (also known as SAMCRO) in Charming, CA, a small town in the Stockton/Sacramento area. SAMCRO makes a living running guns, but their activities, however, pale in comparison to the drug runners and developers who threaten their town. Executive producer Kurt Sutter brings his experience as a writer for The Shield. Acting roots look strong, with Ron Perlman (Hellboy) replacing Scott Glenn in the lead. Also starring are Katey Sagal (Futurama), plus Maggie Siff, who gave FX fans some of the best moments on Nip/Tuck last season. The website (but not IMDB) also references Drea DeMatteo (The Sopranos), Dayton Callie (Deadwood) and Mitch Pileggi (The X-Files).
