    Didn't got my attention mainly because of the fact that it doesn't happen in our days.

    Good show, do not cancel it early, like you have so many others.

    Great show, like the sopranos, but biker gang style.

    This was the worst, most disappointing new show I've seen in years. Bad writing and direction, amateur acting, nothing in the plot to care about at all. There's this white gang and this black gang and this Latin gang and they all go around blowing up each others' gun stashes. Oh, and then there's this pathetic subplot about the blond kid's anguished search for the This was the worst, most disappointing new show I've seen in years.

Oh, and then there's this pathetic subplot about the blond kid's anguished search for the meaning of life, blablabla. This belongs in the daytime soap slot. I just hope it's not a preview of the rest of FX's new shows. I was looking forward to them.… Expand

    It's good, but it needs to be more bloody.

    I thought the show was good compare to most shows that are on censored TV. Compare to what most people say about the violence in the show this is a lifestyle that some people live in the US. The show touches another side of what really goes on with some people in the country.

    If you took the strike team from the shield and gave them biker jackets, you would kinda get this. If you're a shield fan then you will want to watch this. It has the same warped ideas that we liked in the shield lol.

    Excellent and dark. If you find yourself wanting to root for the bad guys as in the Sopranos, then this show is for you.

    Decent show pretty well acted a little slow. Too much overkill in the violent scenes nobody in this country blows up things like that and suffers no investigation, and whats with this trend that criminals have the cops in their pocket? I guess thats why we have overcrowded prisons!!

    What a flop, what a waste of resources, I turned it off after the first 20 minutes felt like 2 hrs, cancel this and not the Shield.

    It's grindhouse and art house, and it carries itself as if it doesn't give a damn what you think of it. And its infuriating push-pull quality is still fascinating.

    Sons of Anarchy is bloody, disturbing and maniacally addictive.

    Trade press has labeled this "'Easy Rider' Meets 'The Sopranos,'" which seems apt. Show comes from Kurt Sutter, longtime co-executive producer of "The Shield" (and married to Sagal) so that should give you a sense of tone and texture - violent, taut, well written.
