Please rewatch season 1 right now with new eyes. Find me one episode without an insanely cringe scene.
Even though I. The first season Clay and others dropped hard Rs in reference to the one niners. I think they were trying to show motorcycle clubs more the way they were but realized pretty quick that would be unpalatable to most of the audience. Like watching some drugged out skank pulling a train on the whole club, so instead they show the women constantly playing a pivotal role
I remember it starting out decently interesting but it's been ages since I seen it. First season seemed to try to keep the story somewhat grounded and didn't shy away from what dirtbags the whole 1%er scene is composed of. Regardless of what the original intentions might've been, the whole thing quickly devolved into retarded schlock.
That was the main problem, in a nutshell. They wanted to write the bikers as brave, noble heroes, and not criminal scumbags.
This is why OZ, Sopranos, and Boardwalk Empire are basically infinite levels above everything else on television. They portrayed their main characters as pretty much pure pieces of shit that in real life everyone would hate. Even The Shield had the main character have autistic children that he needed to care for. And Breaking Bad made it all about his family as well and then had Walt battle Nazis to make him a good guy.
Exactly. In real life, a hot pediatric surgeon wouldn't be caught dead fucking a sleazy biker and hanging out at their degenerate clubhouse, but on SOA it was supposed to be totally normal. On SOA, every biker was a kind-hearted big lug and every whore was a sweet girl with a heart of gold. Every victim "had it coming" and everyone acted with good intentions, like it was a children's show.
That Lord of the Strings shirt kills me.
Having BOC on SOA would have only helped.
no- just British
