The latest from FX, home of "The Shield," "Nip/Tuck" and firefighters series "Rescue Me," definitely not your regular family channel, but one packed with high-quality and compelling drama, is a TV series like no other: “The Sons of Anarchy.”

The show is, as many say, “Sopranos” on bikes, but it’s so much more than that. Aside from the obvious high doses of violence that we usually attribute to any shows that don’t contain the words “beautiful,” “restless,” “wives” or “recipes” in the title, but a defining “Anarchy,” the series has a story, has drama, and most of all has great characters and actors.

It also has the much-appreciated advantage of not being about the good guys we usually see on TV, crime fighters, law-abiding brave officers, forensic scientists, doctors and lawyers that would sacrifice their life for the well-being of others.

Of course people like that do exist, but we live in a world packed with bad guys , and they also have families that they love, they have doubts about their chosen careers and sometimes they have ulterior reasons for committing crime. And we like to see that, we like to sit on the edge of our cozy couch and feel a bit more dangerous and wild while watching a gang of outlaws named SAMCRO, short for “Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original” selling illegal arms right off their motorcycles and getting away with it.

The story revolves around Jackson "Jax" Teller, convincingly played by Charlie Hunnam, a bad guy with a sense of justice and young heir to the gang’s leader throne.

Another good performance is Ron Perlman’s Clarence "Clay" Morrow, the current bloody ruler of the “Sons” and also the one man who runs the town of Charming, where the gang activates. But the most praised, and with good reason the most talked-about character is the one that Katey Sagal beautifully plays.

She embodies Jax’s ruthless mother, Gemma, a woman so determined to keep the family ways, she would do anything, including evil schemes and cruel intrigues. She went so far from being Peggy Bundy that her breathtaking and electrifying performance alone is good reason for watching this new TV drama.
