Season 7 Review: Creator Kurt Sutter has found fewer openings to lighten the show as the story has darkened, and that continues to be the case. Still, we want to know what’s going to happen, even if the odds of anything good are about the same as the odds of the show ever winning the Emmys it deserves. Read full review

Season 4 Review: It believes in the story it's telling and expects everyone watching the series not just to have a good time, but to commit. If every drama series had a tenth as much passion, TV would be a far more interesting place. Read full review

David Hinckley

Season 3 Review: While some of their "family values" are perverse and illegal, most are rooted in the same principles embraced by the straightest arrows in town. That's what makes them more than motorcycle thugs and makes their show worth the discomfort it sometimes takes to ride with it. Read full review

Season 7 Review: Sons of Anarchy could be the antihero drama to end all antihero dramas, but it'll have to shift into some new gears to go out in the blaze of ingloriousness it deserves. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Sons wants us to care about their hopes and struggles, but gives no clue as to why we might do so. Read full review

One of the greatest shows I've ever watched. Solid acting. Even better writing. Season 3 kind of dragged, but then it went off. And I still mourn for a certain mid-series death, that will remain spoiler-free.

Inmejorable, muy bien hilado durante las 7 temporadas con un final memorable. A todos los personajes les coges cariño por tener carisma y Jax es el protagonista perfecto con una gran evolución

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Starts as a Hamlet on bikes with some of the best soundtracks and artists out there. Later seasons go downhill fast with crappy storylines, bad character development and constant scheming. I ended up hate watching last season but first couple are so good it still leaves a good taste in my mouth… Expand

I liked characters, music and a lot of the scenes. I liked the fact that is meant for adults and there is alot of violence, plenty of fights and stabbings, drugs and a little bit of sexual content (I guess for the 2008 standards that might have been considered alot). Also story is very easy to follow. But since the series is meant for adults, I would like it to be more realistic. Shooting scenes are terrible. Guys are standing wide open and no-one (at least out of the main characters) doesn't get hit by a bullet. When one of the main characters is about to get hurt, you can predict this far ahead. Kind of like a 90s action movie. But this didn't stop me from watching untill the end of the season 2. By then, also the story started to lack a realism. Alot of scenes didn't make sense for me, and I was asking myself more and more about why someone didn't do something in an other way. Every strange decision by a particular character was directed in a way, so that a later story complication could follow.

If you're a person that doesn't give a lot of importance to a realistic story development, I guess you would just blindly follow the story and enjoy the series. But I give a lot of importance to a realism and I stopped watching the series 5 minutes before the end of season 2.… Expand

SomeThis show is so incredibly overrated and I don't care how unpopular this opinion is. The acting was downright awful throughout much of the show. The good: Season 6 and 7 were easily the better seasons, but the first 5 were not good. Tig, Juice, Nero, and Jax were the best actors on it. Some supporting actors were pretty good as well. The plot got better and writing was better. The bad: - First of all the awful singing by Katie Sagal is so cringe. What is that Greensleeves song supposed to be? It's possibly the worst song I've ever heard. - The directing and acting are just not good. The thing is, Tara and Gemma's actresses are both good on other shows, but the writing and directing here made them so much worse. - The doctor lady that Tara worked with was maybe the worst actor in the series. Unser's second cop introduced in the first two seasons was awful. That other cop or whatever she was earlier in the series was one of the worst actresses I've ever seen in a series. - Terribly unrealistic at most times. First of all motorcycles are much faster than cars. Why is it that cars and vans are always catching up to them on bikes? Why is everyone such a bad shot? Silencers also don't work the way they make it seem. A complete lack of acoustic realism, a complete lack of forensic realism. This series is just so unrealistic. - The predictable structure of every single episode. Boring intro, loads of useless dialogue that doesn't matter, then an action bit, then some dialogue that does matter, then the most interesting part of the episode coming in the last 3 minutes of it in some predictable compilation of events. You could pretty much watch only the last 20 minutes of every episode and not miss many major plot elements. - Boring drama. This is a soap opera with a few guns. This show has no business being mentioned with the likes of GoT, Breaking Bad, Fargo, or BCS.… Expand
