Sons of Anarchy.



Recently, I started watching Sons of Anarchy. It is a drama-action series from FX Network that finished last year after seven years. From the beginning, it caught my attention because of the main character, Jax Teller. He belongs to this Motorcycle Club called SAMCRO (Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original) and they contraband guns from Ireland and, later in the show, drugs from a Mexican cartel. 

His stepfather, Clay Morrow is the president of the club and he is in desperate need of money and power so he can retire. Jax is vice president on the first four seasons and he is trying to turn the club business around to more legal activities, for example, to invest in the adult industry. Jax's mother, Gemma, married Clay after Jax's father past away in a motorcycle accident. She is some sort of "the" mother figure of the club and the plot evolves around these three characters. 

The show is filled with drama, action and secrets. Every season the club, but specially Jax, has a new enemy, whether physical threats (federal agents, cartels, gangs) or not (secrets). Season three, is for me, the best season yet. Jax has to travel to Ireland because an IRA (Irish Republican Army) member kidnapped his six-month-old son in retaliation of this member's murdered son.  

It is this good guy versus bad gay issue that is interesting because here is a beloved character that murders bad guys (this is, of course, debatable) or lie to police officers so they don't get caught in illegal activities. As in life, I truly believe that nobody is entirely good or bad and Jax's intentions are good for his family but he always does reprehensible actions (such as killing, intimidation among others). This is a fine line that gets you thinking, the club is their life and their family, so if you were in that position what would you do?

  1. Hi Miss, I've never watch this show but it seems to be very interesting, I love that kind of drama when the good guy needs to be bad in order to protect the family lol but at the same time is hard to be in his shoes when it comes to killing another person, I personally couldn't do that but if the sake of my family is in danger I can consider that, even though I wont.

  2. Well, I think I got to be there to know what to do. But love for our family is something very big and sometimes like in this case has no boundaries, so if someday I find my mom in danger because of some bad guy wants to to do something bad to her, I would like to have the braveness to defend her no matter what.
