30 Day Challenge - TV Shows

So it's been a while since I sat down and blogged about anything. I have, if I'm honest, thought about it many times but the lazy gene in me prevented me from actually doing it. Another couple of reasons were that this blog would be the last of the TV challenge blogs and again being totally honest, I have no idea what to blog about next.

The other reason? That's simple - I'm going to be a DAD! This changes the perspective on everything. There are of course a whirlwind, some may say a total hurricane large enough to have Storm Chasers outside our house, of emotions which hit you. Excitement and terror in equal proportions are the two which spring to mind as the overpowering ones.

Being totally frank, we are so excited it's amazing. We have no idea what our little 'bun' will be and we don't have any preference, all that matters is health.

The planning now of the nursery room, the buying of the endless supply of baby gear, some of which is so cool [gadget geek smile :-)], the paiting, the buying, the name choosing, the midwife appointments, the advice from every corner of our circle of friends and family.

It is a truly amazing time.

In addition to the exciting news, on another slightly less exciting front I got a new job too - culture shock after spending time self-employed with most appointments in the evening meaning the days free - not so anymore - 9-5 is back, even some Saturdays too.

On to the last of the TV Blogs then.

SAMCRO a.k.a. Sons of Anarchy - Best show on television - period.

What's not to like, guns, bikes, drama, action, sex, violence, gripping storylines and perfect performances from the cast. Now in its fourth season and getting better and better.

I won't delve too much into storylines or spoiler territory however if you are looking for a quality action drama series to pass the time then this has to be one of the greats.

The story revolves around the small town of Charming where the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original (SAMCRO) defend the town from other motorcycle gangs with their main priority to stop the drug trade from affecting their small community. Naturally they don't particularly do things legally, running guns being their main source of income - better the devil you know - would be the message on the Welcome To Charming sign.

In addition to the defence of their realm, SAMCRO has some very difficult and tangled lives, the club members are often conflicted, family members have lots to discuss on a regular basis and the twists and turns of the plots keep the show fresh.

Cast performances are stunning with award winning performances from Katy Sagal http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005408/, Ron Perlman http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000579/, that's right film buffs, Hellboy himself.

But the main surprise - http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0402271/ - Queer as Folk anyone?

If in doubt as the the changes to support his brilliant portrayal of Jax Teller check these out;
