   Once again, Kurt Sutter has done the impossible. I saw this show two years ago, and wasnt interisted in the least. I was flipping through the channels and SamCro was on in mid-season. Ever sense then i've been hooked. The storyline is always changing. As soon as i'm able to predict what is going to happen (Like with CSI and The Mentalist) something new always comes up. A hidden charictar, or in this case, an unknow MC appears out of nowhere and stirs up the mix. Some complain that the storyline has become too complicated. Kurt said in one of his blogs that he didnt want to have the same storyline. Example: Jax pushing recklessly to change the club into what it was meant to be in season one. In season two, the Nords teamed up with White Power inorder to kill SamCro's gun running buisness. This season, it foucuses more on family, and the fact that we may be nowhere without the ones we love pushing us to go that extra mile. If the storyline becomes complicated, then we dont know whats going to happen. If it stays the same, then SamCro would've been canceled by now. No one wants to watch the same old crap on tv. Its not fun when it's predictable. Well done Mr. Sutter. I hope that you continue to push the envolope to its max.… Expand

   Following very strong first and second seasons, Season 3 is a meandering, drawn-out detour into an implausible plot line. The shift away from the show's strength -- the gritty, believable portrayal of MC life -- towards increasingly bombastic events simply feels forced. Moments of strange comedy are also inserted into the third season, fitting very poorly with the overarching tone that was painstakingly developed over the previous two seasons. One's suspension of disbelief is frequently challenged as Season 3's hyperbolic, overcharged atmosphere tries to outdo itself time and time again. Jax (Hunnam), who has always been the weakest actor of the bunch, continues in his mewling, self-righteous, conflicted ways, taking focus from other more interesting characters and stronger actors. A profoundly disappointing turn for an otherwise excellent series.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show has turned into utter bollocks, the first two seasons were very good and paced really well, but this missing baby storyline is a joke, the characters have become overly sentimental and schmaltzy which is difficult to reconcile with the uncompromising action a show of this nature needs. Season 2 was more subtle and was a good examination of conflict tearing people apart, the characters were developing and were interesting, they have now turned into soundbite gimps, the creators have severely erred in trying to reconcile a fictional conflicts of a biker gang with a real world conflict of the IRA without any attempt to create even an iota a sense of realism or use skillful tact, (its difficult to see how a biker gang could make such in roads to the IRA when whole arms of government have tried and failed) The outcome of which is to turn a decent and interesting show into farce. In short the show has become boring in the end i stopped watching the show and looked on wiki for the outcome.… Expand
