I love Sons of Anarchy. I've followed every season!

I give a 10 to your choice in series, they're both amazing!!

Watch Community, that series is amazing, so is Breaking Bad, never watched Sons of Anarchy

I don't like how Sons of Anarchy explains itself on screen. It's hard to get a grasp on whats happening, especially in the first few episodes when they expect you to just jump in and know everything about the world of the show.

I don't know, maybe I'm just slow. ;)

Breaking Bad is seriously one of my new favorite shows though. Very compelling story and they execute it perfectly.

That just sounds like most modern shows since the Sopranos. The Wire took me an entire season before I could remember more than three characters' names. The world was up and running before the show started. Game of Thrones was similar.

Sons of Anarchy I thought was much easier to get into than a lot of shows, because there's a smaller group of characters, and there being a deceased narrator allows them to spin out the back-story slowly over time. I know the feeling you're having, but I just never associated that with SOA.

I honestly much prefer Sons of Anarchy to Breaking Bad. But then I've only seen up to episode 10 of season 2 of Breaking Bad where as I've been watching Sons of Anarchy from literally the broadcast of the first episode on US TV.

It's a pretty straightforward show really, it's basically Hamlet with motorcycles. A moral battle inside the head of one man, Jax, & the potential struggle between 2 different generations who have different ways of doing things.

And the new series starts tonight. I'm excited.

Looks like some of the streets near to Hampden. I wouldn't say it looks scummy lol.

Eh, it looks like a pretty nondescript town or city street. I mean the sandstone buildings would tend to narrow out Aberdeen where the older buildings. It could be in the west-end, it could be some of the streets off Paisley Road. Grim Glasgow is areas like Castlemilk, Barrowfield, some other parts of the east end. I mean that could be in most Scottish towns or cities to be honest.

Well...OK, Govanhill is a bit more of a down-trodden spot. But it really doesn't LOOK so bad.

I do think the talk about "Glasgow is the crime capital of Europe" is a bit hyperbolic. I lived for 3 years in Kinning Park. I never once got assaulted, robbed, or even threatened. Some jakey teens might give you a bit of abuse but nothing more than that. But it's a city with high levels of poverty (something like 4 of the 10 poorest parliamentary constituencies in the UK are in Glasgow) so there are certainly problems with crime. There's a drug problem in the city, both alcohol & heroin, which can lead people turning into burglary & the like to afford your next hit. It's not a perfect city, & I think it's fair to say at this point that Labour have probably failed most of Glasgow, treating it with utter complacency. But as far as gun crime goes Glasgow is low on the pecking order. Knife crime is an issue, undeniably.

I just think it's got a reputation as this place of scum & villainy which is completely out of proportion to my own experiences, & that folk focus far more on the negative than the positive. People are so much friendlier than in Edinburgh or London. It's a thriving cultural city with a bustling night life. Lovely parks.

I like Glasgow.

Cannot get into SoA still. Breaking Bad however, it just feels like it's for casual fans and film fans. The cinematography is great and at points there's the drag-on shots that only serve for character emotions.



As a writer myself I find the dialogue (scripts) very good and the twists can still jump on me.

All of this talking about shows reminds me that I still have to watch Oz.
