Sons of Anarchy - bikes, guns, and a scruffy half-nekkid Charlie Hunnam - how can you go wrong?
Thank you, alexandral. I would have never heard of Sons of Anarchy except for you, but now we (me and Mr Mousie) have watched the pilot and I am obsessively in love.
SoA is an FX show, currently renewed for its fourth season, that follows a California biker gang which operates out of fictional small town of Charming. They run guns, fight with rival gangs, and do other highly illegal activities. At the center of it is the 'ruling family' of the gang - tough and in-control Clay (Ron Perlman), the gang leader; his wife Gemma (Katey Segal), my favorite character so far, probably the scariest person the show, a Lady Macbeth of sorts; and the protagonist, Jax (Charlie Hunnam, getting rid of his British accent and getting all scruffyfied), the VP of the club, Gemma's son and Clay's stepson, and someone who may be doubting the direction the club is headed. This was labeled as loosely based on Hamlet, and set in biker world and while this is not exactly Shakespeare, this is immensely entertaining - fast-paced, with characters who feel real and even sympathetic (as the safe remove of television), and just very very well-done.
Here are Clay and Gemma:
Have a general MV:
Now if you will excuse me, I have a SoA marathon to attend.
ETA: I was looking for vids on youtube, and heeeeeee, I am pleased to see my shippy spidey sense is never wrong! I could tell Jax had a thing for the doctor lady but was wondering if I was seeing things. Apparently not,
