Sons of Anarchy is finally back after a long hiatus, and more trouble has come to the town of Charming. The white supremacists have invaded, and it looks like it’s them versus the Sons. We also have gang VP Jax (Charlie Hunnam) versus Pres. and stepfather Clay (Ron Perlman). I’ll bet on Jax, as he’s hot and there’s no way the network will risk losing all of those female viewers who look forward to Charlie’s steamy sex scenes. Sorry, Ron.
Also, who’s going to mess with Gemma (Katey Sagal), except for the skinheads? They’re sure brave, as I’d be more scared to meet up with her in a dark alley than I would Clay. Jax is another story. (See above.)
Yeah, I know you’re going to say along with everyone else, “This is taken right from Hamlet.” Admittedly, my high school Shakespeare is rusty, but it doesn’t matter. I’m not going to let you ruin it for me. No more Hamlet comparisons.
Aside from the irony of “Charming,” how many TV shows employ seasoned actors who are all playing roles totally contrary to their usual? Ron Perlman as a gang leader? Peg Bundy as the gang matriarch? Kim Coates as Tig, who not only has no conscience but likes to do it with dead bodies? Adam Arkin as a white supremacist? And of course, Charlie, who is actually British and has never been on a bike? And they can all pull it off.
Tune in tonight on FX. Will Gemma’s secret leak out?
