'Sons of Anarchy' Season 3 Review @ Source: TV Squad

Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:00:24 -0600

What it is: The compelling story of the Sons of Anarchy motorcycle club, the guys you don't want to tick off if you're passing through Charming, Calif. But don't make the mistake of thinking 'Sons of Anarchy' is a one-dimensional chronicle of hardcore bikers. Yes, these guys are tough and volatile, but 'Sons' is also one of the most emotionally nuanced and thoughtful character dramas on television (and it features some terrific female roles).

When it airs: It returns with its third season 10PM ET Tuesday on FX.

When watching 'Sons of Anarchy,' the words "loyalty" and "intensity" frequently come to mind.

'Sons' is set in a world of absolute loyalty: Once a man has committed to an the organization, which is not just a motorcycle club but a way of life, he's part of a brotherhood. The code of the club dictates that everyone sticks together; financially and socially, a man's fate (and that of his loved ones) is tied to the fortunes of the club.

Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) finds comfort in the club's steadfastness in season 3, which opens with him searching for his infant son, Abel. The child was kidnapped by a True IRA gunrunner, but as the search for Abel unfolds, there are still hints of the dilemmas that have defined Jax's journey: Is it possible for him to carve out his own identity in this all-encompassing world? Should he attempt to alter the DNA of the gun-dealing Sons and follow the more idealistic path of his father, Vietnam vet John Teller, who co-founded the organization?

Those issues, as well as Jax's ongoing conflict with club president Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), are on the back burner as season 3 begins, but the show's trademark intensity is not long in surfacing. FX sent the first four episodes of the season for review, and they very much feel like the opening act of a play; threads that start out separate are, by the fourth episode, woven together in a forceful and satisfactory way.

'One Night in Vegas' Details Friendship Between Mike Tyson and Tupac Shakur @ Source: TV Squad

Mike Tyson has long been a reference point for rappers who have empathized with and admired his tenacity, ferociousness and ability to succeed amidst a difficult, impoverished upbringing. But as 'One Night In Vegas,' the latest entry in ESPN's ongoing "30 For 30" series, shows, Tyson's relationship with hip-hop, specifically slain rapper Tupac Shakur, goes even deeper than that.

Tyson and director Reggie Rock Bythewood were on hand last week at Harlem's Dwyer Cultural Center to premiere the film, which chronicles the night of September 7, 1996. That night, Tyson fought Bruce Seldon for the WBA title and Shakur was mortally wounded later that evening. Shakur, who had recorded Tyson's entrance music for the fight and was in attendance, had long been an admirer of the boxer and planned on celebrating Tyson's win with the fighter later that evening, but was shot multiple times en route to the club and died a week later.
