I haven't seen the latest season of Sons yet but I'v been very pleased with this show. I can't wait until Netflix gets the fourth season.

I'm still a fan of the show even though I don't think they've been able to match the 2nd season, I just don't think it's on that tier 1 level of shows.

Do people really hold Sons of Anarchy in that regard? I know it gets good ratings but imo Justified is a much better show on its own network. The writing and acting trounces SOA's. Boardwalk Empire is also much better imo, and even though its only had one season so far Homeland as well, SOA will never have anything approaching Claire Dane's performance in season 1.

I'm with you on this one. I watch Sons of Anarchy and generally enjoy it, but it's not in the same league as Breaking Bad & Mad Men. I would add Game of Thrones & Boardwalk Empire to my list of top shows on right now.

I gotta admit the last episode of season 2 was epic. By far my favorite episode of the series.

Just gets better and better. Best show on TV in my opinion.
 
SAMCRO is fine, but they waste a lot of episodes to get to the end and there are a lot of No Fraking Way elements to it. Justified is hands down the best hour show on FX.

I am really looking forward to the new Sorkin show on HBO next week. SportsNight is one of my favorite comedies ever and West Wing one of my favorite dramas. I think working for HBO will be great for him, they care about quality more than ratings.

I think they are equaly good shows. And I was hesitant to watch Breaking Bad as I'm a scinetist and thought the premise was BS. My husband dragged me kicking and screaming to the first season a couple of years ago and I was hooked. Love Mad Men too, and this season has been very different . However I can not stand Meghan. I literally get agitated everytime she's on the screen. I think Don is a bastard but her I just want to punch her in the face.

Didn't you love the "zoobie zoobie zoo" song (or whatever it was)?

(Spoiler alert if you aren't up to date, don't read further)......... FWIW, I thought that this year's Mad Men was fantastic, the best season yet. Lots of great stuff.....the fever dream, acid trip, jaguar not starting, Hare Krishna guy, and the great "look" to end the season. That last scene where he goes from the film shoot to the bar was another sort of interesting dream sequence. What will become of Peggy?

I hated the last scene in Mad Men!

I didn't particularly like the feel of it, or like Don in it, but it was very well done. It looked to me that Megan has changed their basic "contract" and I'm not sure how long they will stay together, but that was the point of "the look."

Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, Mad Men----generally considered the best 3 cable dramas currently in production.

HBO created some great drama series -- Sopranos and The Wire are among the best. They've got 4 now that are very good--Game of Thrones, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire and Treme. They almost justify the price by themselves.

I hate Treme with a white hot passion. I think I hate it more than any other show HBO has ever done...until Sunday. I've seen two 'review' episodes of Newsroom and it is such a cluster duck* of awful that it defies description.

Those are my top 4 as well. My list is 1. Breaking Bad 2. Mad Men 3. Game of Thrones 4. Boardwalk Empire.

I've never seen Sons of Anarchy and have no interest in it. Before Breaking Bad, I considered The Wire to be the greatest tv drama in history, but I'm putting Breaking Bad above it.

It's terrible.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Really terrible.

Point and laugh at it terrible.

You'll hate it.

That was my reaction to Sons of Anarchy . Peg Bundy and Hellboy carry the show with some superb acting. THe show is about some of the dumbest human beings walking the planet but somehow the train wreck works.

I was very hesitant about Sons until co workers put me on to it. Trust me, its a good show and it will definitely draw you in.
 
It only gets better. Seasons 3 and 4 are about equal. Gun to my head, I'd say 3 is a little better.
 
Just finished season 1 and half way through 2.

As of now I still prefer Mad Men and Sons.


And I must say, after reading this thread prior to watching this series, I'm a bit underwhelmed.

Seasons 1 and 2 are really good, but they still pale in comparison to 3 and 4.

Season 4 comes to netflix streaming the 15th, same day as the new season.
 
Hell yes. Just started watching on my computer; I bought season 4 on itunes a few weeks after it aired. Will have to save the last three episodes for TV.
 
If you have a dvr amc has been running all four seasons back to back... great show
 
Season 4 starts airing next Monday morning I believe around 2am on AMC. They show three episodes at a time so you can just DVR them and watch the episodes later on. I'm on the last episode of season 2 so I'm on pace to finish season 3 by late Monday. It's picked up, but I'll reserve judgement until I've finished season 4 I guess.

Best episode of the series.

If your heart isn't beating out of your chest at the very end there, then you should probably check your pulse.

Worst episode: 3.10. The Fly.
 
Let's cook, bitch.

last night was the first time I've ever watched the show as it aired, I can't do the week to week thing, I'm going back to my preferred method of watching tv series and just waiting until the season is done and doing the marathon viewing.
