Watched: Sons of Anarchy

Love it. Love the Hamlet overtones, love the characters, love the amazing caliber of character actors and longtime tv alumnae amassed here, love the ridiculous and over the top plot twists, love the violence, love Charlie Hunnam's very nice face. I don't really think it makes any sense to call one show or another the "best thing on television", because so many shows are reaching for completely different things. But I will say that of all the shows I either caught up with or watched in their entirety this summer (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Daria, The Unusuals, Lost [way back in March], The Guild, Wives and Daughters, Heroes, Skins, Spartacus: Blood and Sand, True Blood, Glee, Sherlock) NO show was as addictive or entertaining as this one.

Needless to say, I am thoroughly hooked. Morally ambiguous outlaw types policing a small town in California? It's like Peter Pan, Once Upon a Time in the West, and Mad Max rolled up into a ball of APPEALING.
