    Is anyone else watching Sons of Anarchy?

    This is an excellent American show about the daily runnings of a biker gang. Anti heroes possibly but it's difficult not to barrack for them.

    Katy Sagal is also pretty easy on the eyes.

    I refuse to watch any TV crap that glorifies criminals. Australian TV statiosn that show these 2nd rate trashy shows should be taken to the courts and had money stripped from them under the profits from crime act.

    It's entertainment. Pure and simple. I'm unsure you can even judge if you refuse to watch.

    It is about a gang. Gangs do illegal things. They commit crime. How is it I cannot judge?

    unless of course you tell me they ride around with teddy bears giving them to little children making their days while housing many hundreds of homeless to get them back into life.

    Chances are though, they sell drugs, beat people and are a general waste of life in society.

    Entertainment or not, it is still about crime.

    id class underbelly as fiction rather than a true story , its just entertainment really ( i think its shit aswell but not for the same reasons ) .. what about gangster movies like scarface , goodfellas, godfather or even shows like the sopranos?
    i would be interested in your opinion on those minux.
    my favourite show at the moment is breaking bad , its about meth and its ****ing good.

    Breaking bad, Soprano's, The Wire; all three are about crime and all three are at the top of the TV pile

    No I havent watched it. How hard is it to guess what a bikey show is all about? That is predictable.

    pillzor, if it is not based on true crime, then it is entertainment. Underbelly has created a "celebrity" status for the deadheads involved in those shows. No one should profit from crime. Had it been a 4 hour doco that had credible research done that showed everything without re-enactments then sure, it is hardly trying to make money from it. Underbelly is all about glamourising a shit area of Australias past.

    naf33n, chill? I am not entitled to give my opinion? i am very chilled, I just fail to see how glamourising true crime is something that is good.

    Hmm, calling an admin an idiot? Aren't you switched on...

    As for "idiots' like me blaming shows for peoples actions, heh, where did I say that? Not sure where it was even mentioned. I suggest you read my post rather than try and interpret it your way which is not even close to the mark, not surprising though...
