Sons of Anarchy
We watched eps 2 and 3 today and it's official - I am beyond obsessed. If someone told me I'd be rooting for a bunch of redneck thug criminal bikers, I'd have thought they were insane, but here you are.
My favorite character remains Gemma - she's tougher than all the bikers combined, her leader-of-the-pack husband Clay included. Fierce and awesome and scary as hell. Plus, it's great to see 'older people' be allowed to be sexy (she and Clay getting it on in the photobooth made me giggle so hard. Never thought you could use photobooths for that).
Second favorite character is Clay - he's smart and ruthless and really really good at running his gang. In RL, I'd stay far far away and would want him locked up, but on TV, I love him.
I also love Jax - I mean, it's Charlie Hunnam, but joking aside, I like that he seems to have more heart and doubt than a lot of the others, and also he is good at lateral solutions. Plus that grin.
I actually love every major character - the other bikers (the Elvis Impersonator - LOL, the crazy Irish guy, the one who's trying to get out, the new recruit etc), Wendy-the-Junkie-Jax's-ex-wife (I think she's a waste of a human being but she's entertaining as all get out) and the hotshot cop that's trying to get them.
The one major character I am lukewarm on so far is, ironically, the most conventionally good - Tara the doctor lady, Jax's ex-girlfriend and future flame. I don't dislike her - she seems competent and pretty tough (love her exchanges with Gemma) but I am not particularly interested in her either. Maybe because she's not as colorful and more conventional. But we'll see how it goes.
The one bad thing? I don't want to watch anything else but SoA now.
