    As Sutter proved in the intriguing and original first season, there's plenty more riveting storytelling to tap into as Sons of Anarchy boldly comes of age.

    The acting is terrific (by all concerned--there's no weak link), the writing stays true to the spirit of the show and nothing feels forced. That's the mark of a winner.

    Morrow is either a dinosaur on the way out or the rock-solid leader the club needs in treacherous times. It's to the show's credit that both descriptions have a certain amount of validity, and I found myself alternately applauding Jax's newfound boldness and regretting his youthful heedlessness.

    To say we actually like any of these characters would be stretching it. But we're drawn into their lives, and as it starts its second season, Sons of Anarchy can't be left out of any conversation about the golden age of cable drama.

    Season two of SAMCRO started of with a bang (unlike anything I've ever seen on a serialized drama) and just kept delivering week after week. Katy Segal is a force of nature. I'm not sure what's holding people back from this show, but it's currently one of the 2 or 3 best things on TV (with Mad Men & Fringe, I'd say). If you're male and not watching this show, you're missing the boat.… Expand

    Clearly the best show on television right now. (Because The Wire and Homicide are now gone.) It's the best reason to sit down, turn off the phone, and just get lost in the mayhem. Nobody messes with SAMCRO!… Expand

    This so BS. The ending is ridiculous , how has these biker gang got better intel that the CIA! t

    The ending is so OTT, litterally think of     the most un-imagiative way of making sure everything SAMCRO needs to happen, and you will get it, stupid guys who stay behind on their own without the rest of his gang just to get a tattoo!!! really!!! randomly bumping in to the girl that attacked you!!! staying back becuase you have to visit someone right then, seriously can you not wait say a week and arrange to meet in ney york or something?stupid ATF agent who go alone, seriously alone!! with a know criminal to a sting operation. It's just too perfect, how about some realism, too unbeliveable… Expand
