Son's of Anarchy

The Television show I recently watched was a show called Son’s of Anarchy. I watched last week’s episode called “Laying Pipe”. The show is about a biker gang called the Son’s of Anarchy, which is based on the true story of the biker gang in California called hell’s angels. The club sells illegal Irish weapons and occasionally mule’s drugs for certain gangs. Since I have already know a lot about this show my criteria for the episode was the overall plot of the episode, how the acting was in some of the emotional moments in the show, directing, and how well you stayed connected with the show such as did it retain my interest or did I want to fast forward through parts. The plot of the episode was them trying to stay alive in prison since a drug lord wanted them killed, this provided the feeling you get on the edge of your seat because you never know what is going to happen next. So I liked the plot and it kept my attention throughout the entire episode. The acting varied on the character, the main character Jacks is a great actor and makes me connect with how he is feeling but some of the other characters acting make me feel like “come on dude” which might be the actors fault but it also makes me think that’s how it was directed to be which in that case makes me think sometimes the directing is too overdramatic, which can make the show seem fake or unrealistic. The episode started with them entering prison, they were friends with the Mexicans inside the prison so they had to always be in groups because they had a beef with another gang that wanted them dead. Then they had to make a deal to be safe with the gang leader, but they had to be sent to isolation, so they got into a fight in the prison yard so they could be in isolation which is safer than staying in the open with all the other prisoners. Once they were in isolation they were told one of them had to be killed because in an earlier episode they murdered the gang leader’s daughter. So as the episode the tension was which one is going die and the anxiety made the episode sad but also incredibly interesting. Then when it was time Op who was one the main characters stood up to fight to the death and him being killed was the end of the episode which it a great episode but it was sad so it made me feel different emotions which is what makes it a great show.
