I'm trying me best to like Sons of anarchy (in the middle of Season 1) but good God this pretty girl is mind-numbingly annoying (I think they call her Jax?). When she reads her diary I have to hit fastforward.
Now, normally I don't mind the lack of realism on TV shows unless it's way over the top. A bunch of invincible bufoons in bullet proof leather jackets "running a town" blasting away rival gangs, leaving the scene unsathered every single time? Gets kinda tiring after a while (3 or 4 episodes) and I'm guessing it is not going to get much better, is it.
Don't get me started on acting, words like atrocious, terribad and embarrasingly unconvincing come to mind. None of these chaps look even remotely menacing as dangerous gang members, the pretty blonde mentioned above is just an icing on the cake. The leading ###### has a leadership qualities of a wet sponge, the Irish clown comes across as a drunk backpacker rather than muscle of the group (compare him to a guy like Wee-Bey on the Wire, now that's a guy you don't want to upset). The old hairy hippy is another useless sidekick who should be sitting on a sidewalk holding a cardboard in his hands...
