People are different. If you tried it for a full season and didn't like it, at least you are making an informed judgement and nobody can fault you for that. I watch because I'm a sucker for anything apocalyptic, not because I like zombies. I watched some pretty lame shows just because I'm interested in the way the industry portrays the human approach to a calamity of massive scale. So much so that I watched Terra Nova, Falling Skies, Under the Dome and Defiance.
The measuring stick for our generation. RIP James Gandolfini.
Is he playing the transvestite from Jimmy Smits past on SOA? If so, pretty well done there I would say. No?
I love the way SOA has used major long time TV stars in roles that make you think "huh, I never expected that kind of performance from him/her". Ron Perlman (excuse me for not having seen any of the Hellboy stuff) is a guy I had totally written off after watching Beauty and the Beast way back. I watched the entire first season of SOA over a week or so on DVD without realizing that Gemma was Katey Sagal from Married With Children. Talk about a blown away moment when I looked at the cast list. But the best for me is Jimmy Smits. A long time favorite of mine stretching all the way back to LA Law. Nobody can do a seedy pimp and pornographer with a heart of gold like Jimmy Smits.
I sure look at all of those actors with a new respect after watching SOA. Would definitely recommend the show to anyone who hasn't seen it.
I'm watching SOA for the first time. Love the show. I totally agree with your comments on the cast. There is some fantastic acting going on from people I would never have expected it from.
I did recognize the chaaracter Bobby Munson though. He was awesome in 30 days of night!
Oh yeah. I finally googled who the hell Sam Crow was. It was driving me crazy. Who woulda thunk.....Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original Charter
