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.
The early episodes of season three, though, find SoA retaining what there was to love about it--the well-drawn characters, including the strong women in SAMCRO and its orbit--while expanding the show as well.

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

Kurt Sutter's epic tale of an outlaw California motorcycle club launches its fifth season Tuesday with the same visceral intensity that stamped season four.
Gritty and occasionally violent, Sons was created by Kurt Sutter, an executive producer on "The Shield." As "The Shield" prepares to bow out, Sons should capably fill the smart, testosterone-fueled void.
So far, there's no indication that there's enough brewing here to measure up to Season Two, but the show seems to be solidly back on track after the problems of Season Three.
It will take awhile to figure out whether Sons of Anarchy was worth the investment of our time.
Sons wants us to care about their hopes and struggles, but gives no clue as to why we might do so.
A masterpiece, An amazing show with a fantastic story, Great characters, Perfect musics and a series that you won't get tired of, ever.

It's a fine series but for my taste far from excelent. 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.

This 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.

**** you know worships this show, that's a major red flag. Sons of Anarchy is basically an ode to violence and really, REALLY bad life choices. This show would actually be hilarious if it wasn't so sad and desperate. Men aren't this pathetic in real life. Every single characters' solution to every problem is... guns! And more guns! Guess where that gets them? I wasn't asking for a cautionary tale when I watched this. I don't hate guns. I wasn't asking for a cohesive plot or well-developed characters. I just wanted to see a fun tv show. Not angry man-children doing stuff for the sake of plot twists. There were some elements I found genuinely enjoyable (Charlie Hunnam's arc seems interesting enough, Katey Segal is great for the first couple of seasons, Walton Goggins is soo fun and hilarious; the moral dilemmas are quite relatable and some of the issues around social injustice seemed promising). The thing is: this show started out as a "guy wants a better future for himself and his family" kinda story, but quickly evolved into "the audience likes to see violence so let's give them that" kind of story. It's like the show's developers think we're complete morons and they couldn't even be bothered to respect us in the slightest. I don't know about you, but I don't respect a show that doesn't respect the audience. Sons of Anarchy relies solely on cheap tricks and violence, and violence, and more violence. This show is a toxic fantasy. None - I mean NONE - of this is realistic. The men who worship this show (let's face it, it's almost always men) look up to bonafide aholes. Characters who "solve" problems by shooting at them and facing next to zero consequences. And yeah, I get that guys think "GUNS AND BIKES ARE COOL WHY U GETTING UPSET YOU *******, THIS SHOW IS AWOSOMMM". To those guys I say: get help. Please. PLEASE.
And to the girls who are reading this, if you're dating a Sons of Anarchy fan, dump him now.
