Sons of Anarchy. I never paid attention to this show before. I'm just not impressed with thug life, choppers etc. so I figured I'd hate it. Still, I gave it a chance and I can't help but stay up entirely too late every night watching it. It's as complex as the Godfather, being about organized crime with some twisted sense of a social conscience. The characters are much more complex though, the benefit of tv. I'll have to give the Sopranos a chance next.
The performances of the main characters are among the best on tv, the writing is excellent and the story compelling from week to week. There haven't been any "dud", filler episodes building up to other events way down the road. Every episode DELIVERS one way or the other. The total opposite of Walking Dead in that respect. The story and characters develop constantly. Started season 3 last night after blowing through the first 2 seasons in a week. I'm glad there are 7 seasons to stretch it out.

Is that on to stream anywhere other than the syfy website? I'd like to go back to it. Still $20 for the season on amazon.

The last few of season 2 were amazing. The first episode with Chucky and his habit had me rolling. LOL

I'm rewatching this as well but on bluray. I'm in the middle of season 2.

When and where is the latest X-Files tv show located? I finished Longmire early this year(awesome show) and I finished The Crown which was pretty good and well done. I need a new show to watch and I'm kind of in a sci-fi mood. I enjoyed Broadchurch but I'm having difficulty getting into some of the other BBC crime dramas. I watched one called Injustice which I liked way early in the year. I need to find The Musketeers somewhere as I bought the first and second season and loved them. Its a good swashbuckler show and I like the actors. I'm always, always in the mood for thriller/mystery type movies.(not crime dramas necessarily but definitely thriller/creepy/mysterious/supernatural) If anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it. Try "The Man from High Castle" now going into it's second season on Amazon Prime Video.

Noticed a Married With Children reference the other night in season 3. For plot reasons, Gemma is on the run. They suggest she should color her hair red. She says she'd rather shave her head. LOL The show has just the right amount of humor to it. And good day, bad day...Jax is pretty much always going to get some no matter the situation.
Speaking of X Files, Mitch Pileggi is on there too. I still see him as Skinner no matter what.
SOA trivia: just noticed that the voice of John Teller is Todd "I don't know Margo!" Chester from Christmas Vacation. Also, the Deadwood cast members popping up is pretty cool. It's pretty common to see more than one in the same show it seems.

BTW, does anyone know the status of the new Twin Peaks? Is that next year? Season 3 of Twin Peaks will premiere sometime in the first half of 2017 but on Showtime. It is not a Netflix show.

It was on AMC channel so no on the Nudity and limited swearing but the violence and torture is pretty brutal even with the gore toned down. More like Breaking Bad, you see the blood but you don't see the aftermath.

Yeah, not HBO, but as close as cable will get. A lot of implied sex and near saves with camera angles. It's not for kids in any way, but a tiny fraction of what you got with Spartacus. Spartacus was practically soft porn that makes Game of Thrones look like Golden Girls. LOL With 7 seasons of SOA, might want to stream if uncertain before investing.

I still don't understand why so many people made such a big deal over the sex in GOT. When I finally got around to watching the show I was like "THIS is what was causing all of the controversy??". There are a ton of cable shows that came out before GOT that had just as much or more sexual content.
