I feel like a terrible LJ traitor, but I doubt that I will be able to post more than once a week during the next couple of month. I must try to stick to "at least once a week". I must. RL has swallowed me whole, by means of preparing for PHP certification exam, work , family and books. In even sadder news, I don't seem to find any Korean drama love, not even tiny piece. I feel sort of bereft and at the same time something always stops me just when I tell to myself "I must watch Korean drama. Everyone likes Sungkyunkwan Scandal".

I have watched few Western shows, in particular I finished the season 2 of "Sons of Anarchy". I still love the show after the end of the second season as much as I loved it after the first episode. "Sons of Anarchy" is not like any other show I have seen, but at the same time I would understand why it might be someone's cup of tea and simultaneously it might be not everyone's cup of tea.



"Sons of anarchy" are for you if you like:

- Women-centric TV. There are several strong female characters in SoA of strength that I have never seen on TV. They are the power and they are the drive of the story. Female matriarch Gemma is the lady I want to be.

- Motorbikes

- Cigars

- Black leather

- Tattoos

- Charlie Hunnam (all scruffy tattooed)

- TV shows that make you think

But "Sons of anarchy" is not for you if you don't like:

- Violence and blood in your TV.

I have found some really nice black and white promotional pictures made for the season 3. I love them, they give the exact feel of the show, with all it's over the top-ness and beauty: Pictures behind the cut )

I am so happy "Sons of anarchy" received the second season from FX!! I haven't seen anyone talking about this show on my friends list, though for me this is by far the best new show of this season. I have been following it with great interest over the past two month and I am so happy that I will be able to watch more. My interst in the show started when it promised to be loosely based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet". After 12 episodes I must say that "loosely" means "very loosely" and also I must say that in many ways "Sons of Anarchy" isn't like anything I have watched before, a totally new concept. The only show it resembles is "The Wire", in way that I have the same goose-bumps inducing feeling that I am watching some real people going through their REAL life and NOT actors acting.



The show is set in a small American town called Charming that is ruled by an outlaw motorbike club named "Sons of Anarchy" or SAMCRO (an acronym of The Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original) . The main protagonist Jackson "Jax" Teller (played by yummy Charlie Hunnam) is the SAMCRO's vice-president. His mother Gemma Teller Morrow (Katey Sagal) is is the true leader behind the club and the Queen of Charming. Her husband and Jax's step-father Clarence "Clay" Morrow is played by Ron Perlman. There are many other interesting multi-dimensional characters in the show and there is a romantic interest for Jax. The show has it's flaws (it lags sometimes) but on the whole I like it very much.

Work is still busy busy busy, my brain has no space. But awesome because everything is getting together and rest is ahead. I am taking a day off tomorrow because I must answer all unanswered comments and also I must tell the world about Sons of Anarchy, a new FX show that is quite AWESOME and promises Shakespearean tragedy (as in modern take on "Hamlet").
