Sons of Anarchy (Irish Pace)

Penfailed

Anyone looking forward to the 3rd series (I refuse to call them 'seasons') of Sons of Anarchy on RTE? From what I gather, it's Belfast based, and the accents are crap
Loved the first two series. Hope it lives up to expectations.

Why wait for it on RTE when the 3rd season finished last November?

I don't do downloads. I haven't got Sky TV.

I didn't see the first episode the other night...I was watching the last episode of The Event on C4. I've taped it though. I'll have to get watching before next Monday

Just a heads up that the next episode is Tuesday morning at 01.15 on RTE 2.

Turns out you were right and the RTE Guide was wrong...

does anyone know why american TV series feel the need to set episodes in Ireland but don't bother to hire anyone who is Irish or has even heard something approaching an Irish accent? I thought Heroes was as bad as it could get, but wow Sons of Anarchy step forward for the worst collection of Oirish accents since 'far and away'
special mention to this guy Jimmy O'Phelan (WTFing F!!!)
I also do not believe for even a second that any of the cast set foot in Ireland - the scenes with the main characters in them look nothing like Ireland.

Other then that loving the series.

Ah poo poo. I didn't know they were up to series 3 already. I saw series 1 and 2. They were fantastic. Ron Perlmann and Katey Sagel are excellent, as is Charlie Hunnam - a Geordie believe it or not

Pretty much why I gave up on Season 3 after 5 episodes. I'll be on board for season 4 in the autumn though.

They didn't - all scenes with main cast in were shot in California as usual, the footage shot in the North was just body doubles on bikes etc.

Oh_Noes

This is the same Ireland that "Murder She Wrote" regularly visits. Same accents and all!

Massive generalisation coming up here - most Americans would have difficulty understanding a proper Belfast accent. That's why it's done the way it is.

Absolutely. Trainspotting had to be subtitled over there due to the Scottish accents, Northern accents can be pretty hard to follow if you've never heard one.

I watching this programme for the first time last night and I was absolutely amazed at how bad the Oirish accents were. Usually when you hear American attempts at the Irish accent it's pretty funny but this was cringeworthy at it's highest.

To cap it all, the scenes filmed in rural areas looked nothing like any part of Ireland I know. They did, however, remind me of California countryside.

I have a whole week to decide if I will watch another episode of this cringefest. Can it be any worse, I wonder ?

One of the best episodes so far last night.

Was there an Irish accent in it? I was to busy looking at **** blowing up and the orish lad getting shot in the head.

Your first mistake was joining a programme in the middle of the third series. Your second mistake was repeating stuff that's already been mentioned/discussed earlier in the thread. I'm surprised that it's going to take you a full week to make up your mind about whether-or-not to watch it again...:P

Saw the thrid season - the accents are awful, except for the great Paula Malcomson, who is a Nordie herself (though you wouldn't have known it in Deadwood).
SOA is a class show, one of the best "undiscovered" gems around. Great cast, great setting.
get with it!

Agent Stahl is dead , class I never hated a TV character more than that.

Looking forward to the forth series now. Does anyone know when it's going to be shown on terrestrial TV? Don't have Sky. Hopefully it'll be on at a more reasonable hour...

It was previously shown on Bravo,since closed following being bought by Sky. No news yet on who'll show it on UK or Irish screens. It'll be Spring/Summer next year before RTE show S4 if they decide to pick it up.

Best bet is to watch the new season online,S4 begins in the US next Tuesday,September 6th.

Great end to Season 3....loved the Neil Young song 'Hey hey my my.!!...Hope you got to catch up with it.
