Sons of Anarchy (2008-2014)
It took me 4 months to watch the first 4 episodes of this show. Everytime I tried, I just couldn't get into it until something clicked and all of a sudden, I found myself experiencing an absolutely marvelous TV Series. Every subsequent season impressed me more and more with it's detailed level of storytelling and complex characters that go through monumental growth over the course of the journey. The show that often came to my mind was Breaking Bad so hopefully you understand the quality that I am talking about.
Sons of Anarchy is about a biker club in a small town called Charming. The bikers spend their time going about their regular lives which happen to be intertwined with all sorts of criminal activities and more often than not, these activities lead to brutal circumstances, which warrants a warning for the faint hearted. At first, they deal with small problems such as rival gangs but everytime they seem to resolve one conflict, 3 more emerge in it's place and the cycle continues in each season.
When I looked at the poster, I wondered why are members of the same club fighting? Soon enough, I realized that while external threats bring their share of troubles, the amount of internal intrigues create far more tension. The level of scheming along with the amount of shocking moments provides plenty of thrilling content that never fails to surprise. Every character brings something unique to the table and as soon as you begin to connect with them, you will come to deeply love some and hate the others.
At first glance, a biker show might seem like it is centred around men but the women play a huge part in the story as they weave their own webs much like Cersei in Game of Thrones. What makes this series effective and keeps the ride interesting is the great writing, the realistic dialogue and the raw emotions. I thought that a biker show would never interest me but I ended up experiencing an unforgettable journey full of passion, intrigue and heartbreak that has earned a place among my favorite TV shows.
P. S. A separate mention must go out to the exceptional music that not only fit the atmosphere but found a way into my heart.
