Ratings for Sons of Anarchy have exploded in the past year, as the second season of Sons of Anarchy ranked as the highest-rated single season of an original series in FX history.
The series stars Charlie Hunnam, Kim Coates, Mark Boone Junior, Kurt Sutter, Ally Walker, Katey Sagal and Ron Perlman and many more.
Last season saw Adam Arkin and Henry Rollins guest stars as white separatists who invade Charming, the small Northern California town where the SAMCRO club dwells.
Sons of Anarchy is an adrenalized drama with darkly comedic undertones that explores a notorious outlaw motorcycle club (MC) SAMCRO and its desire to protect its illegal livelihood while ensuring that their simple, sheltered town of Charming, California remains exactly that: charming.
The Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club must confront threats from drug dealers, corporate developers, hate groups and overzealous law officers. Behind the MC�s familial lifestyle and legally thriving automotive shop is a ruthless and illegally thriving arms business.
The season promises to take the SAMCRO prince, Jax (Charlie Hunnam), to Ireland in search of his son Abel, his baby son was spirited away in the last episode of season two by an IRA operative as payback for a murder of a fellow Irish gun-runner in Charming.
