Sons of Anarchy: Service

Sons of Anarchy has come a long way in two years. Don’t get me wrong, the first season was good, but its focus was incredibly narrow, and the plot line was fairly simple. Last night’s episode, “Service,” however, has as much going on in one hour of television as any episode since The Wire ended. [...]

So this is the first episode of Sons that I have watched in real time, and I’m so glad I caught up. I called this development a mile away, but it was still amazing to watch. After an hour of tonight’s episode, I was commenting on how weird it was. Then I remembered that it [...]

So I’ve been a way for a while, and none of the shows this week particularly moved me (though 30 Rock and Sunny each had their moments). I’ll be filling the time with the first of a series of lists that I’ll be doing to bridge the gap over the holidays. This list will cover [...]
