SONS!




Season two of FX's sensational Sons of Anarchy outlaw biker series exploded onto DVD/Blu-ray shelves yesterday. I called ahead to have my friendly retailer hold a copy for me, and it's a good thing that I did, as there was one lone copy left when I got there: "You're like the 30th person to get this today!"
If you're in withdrawal feeling all caught up on Dexter and waiting for the next go-round of Breaking Bad, this is your series! Hellboy himself, Ron Perlman, leads a fantastic cast of antiheroes. We discovered this series near the end of season 2 last year and promptly went and devoured all of season 1 on disc, getting severely hooked. We actually blew through 3 episodes in a row last night and the quality continues to rock and rock hard. Secrets and dark deeds abound in season 2, with an awesome guest turn from Henry Rollins as a scary white supremist.
If you haven't bit into Sons yet, fair warning -- you will get hooked. It's a terrific pulp saga that is as much of an outlaw as the characters it portrays. Season 3 starts next week, so get hopping! Look for a guest appearance soon by Stephen King, likewise a huge fan of the show!
