When one sees a grizzled biker gang ride by on their hogs, thoughts of classic Shakespearean tragedies aren't what typically come to mind-images of Jack Daniels and bourbon bottles, on the other hand, probably do materialize. Kurt Sutter, a veteran of The Shield with a theater background, found Hamlet in Harley-Davidson riders, however, and in that duality he created FX's Sons Of Anarchy, an exaggeratedly violent yet dramatically sound look at the bonds and rifts within California's SAMCRO biker squad.
