As a black person, the one thing that drew me to SAMCRO was Jax Tellers fashion. He could've been a regular biker with the traditional fitted jeans and biker boots BUT this dude rocks baggy pants and Nike Airforce Ones. That's aspect alone is a draw. Charlie Hunman modelled his look after a biker who loved hip hop culture and sadly was killed before the airing of the show. Charlie took on his mannerisms and style in honour of him and wore a bullet necklace as homage to him throughout.
I'm a black person who watched all 7 seasons of this show and your exactly right. Me and my family always commented on his All White Air Force 1s looking clean as hell,and me personally I really loved his Hairstyle After Season 5 and onward.
@@dominiqueodom3099I'm not black , I'm Italiano but I grew up in the hood & everything u said is what drew me to the show cuz I hated bikers my entire life but Jax adds a neighborhood thug quality 💯
I don’t see how Gemma was peoples favorite character in the show, i hated gemma since the beginning and in the end she was the catalyst for jax’s downfall. Everything bad that happened most of the time was because of Gemma, she had too much influence for being just an old lady. Worst character in the show IMO.
She did a good acting. She didn't care if she was liked or hated. She knew exactly who she was & how much influence she had over 2 high ranking members. Her Husband and her Son. All the members respected who she was. The town of CHARMING - new who she was - she knew how to influence people from locals - to members & law enforcement & she knew alot of club business. Was the show far fetched - absolutely- but for it'd time - it was a great show. I think it should off ended differently- it wasn't a comedy - it was a DRAMA - & it ended in tragedy.
One of my all time favorite moments in the show was in season 3 when Jax is following the family who adopted abel and is torn on whether or not to leave him there tore my heart out
that was completely illogical, he stabs and shoots people to get his son back is depressed, and just becasue some priest says it's not good he all of a sudden doubts all his decisions? that doesn't make sense, especially after learning of his half sister and saying he is done listening to dead people, the only reason they skipped their bail hearing is to get abel
Great video. This show takes you for an absolute ride and it's incredibly gripping. Really grows on you. Every season gets significantly more dark and it definitely takes some unexpected turns. 100% recommend.
There's more sweeping statements here than an amateur dramatic production of Cinderella. Gemma is awful and interferes throughout and I'm not sure she's anyone's favourites. I'm with you on the dumb choices and your nod to Juice, he is the king of dumb choices. I like this video. Well done, mostly 😉 Best finale ever. Starts with Springsteen, ends with Come Join the Murder. Outstanding. Plus, Tig finds love. Don't ask why they kill Half Sack. Don't ask about Hale. Ignore the Irish accents and the fake Belfast thing. And your SOA life is good.😊
I thought the show killed half-sack, because the actor who played him had some extreme mental health issues and couldn't do the show anymore. Anyways thanks so much for this SOA review. Just got done watching the show and already miss it. My favorite season is season 1 just for the simple reason that it was fun and lighthearted, before the show got really dark.
Really enjoy the video and appreciate you taking the time to make it, given you were definitely right about no one doing a serious, full series review/retrospective on SoA. Even with the goofiness and, let's face it, subpar writing some of the time, it's still a great show. Let's just not get too hyped up and throw out the "better than the Sopranos" take so confidently lol. Can't tell someone their opinion is wrong, and that's totally not what I'm saying.. just that if one were to pick certain aspects of each series and really compare them fairly and without bias in terms of overall execution, one is going to come out on top every time.. and let's just say that Jax would surely want to introduce someone to Mister Mayhem after getting the news 😅😅 But, again, in all seriousness.. great video.
Thanks. It's...a tough call in some ways. I would like to do my take on The Sopranos at some point. I'm trying to review things that don't get as much of a spotlight and The Sopranos certainly does get the spotlight on CZcams. But for now, in response to this comment, I will say that although I appreciate the maturity of the themes in The Sopranos and how much detail was put into the placement of those themes in the show, I think SoA was a better SCRIPTED show. I feel like it rewarded the hours I put into it more than The Sopranos did.
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for someone to make a good video on SOA. I was actually in the process of writing a script to make a video on it myself but I think you about covered it all. 👌
What a well-put-together video. You really made me feel like I was talking to you about the show and having a discussion with a fellow fan of my all-time favorite show. This show had such an impact on my life since I was 17-18 years old, and I still to this day watch scenes or episodes.
@@theplebe6342 I cannot wait for you to make that video 🔥 Overall, what did you think of it? Unlike a lot of people, I actually loved the show even more after Sutter was fired. While I love Sutter for what he made with Sons, Mayans was something totally different and I allowed it to be loved for that. I think too many people wanted it to be Sons 2.0.
@@theplebe6342 the show has a sons of anarchy, feel to it up through season four, then it feels more like a different style of crime drama. But the fact that some of the sons of anarchy characters return, and they are at war with the Mayans, and the Mayans are somewhat the good guys at this time., It’s very interesting. I definitely enjoyed it, but I know a lot of people had complaints about this. Start watching so I can hear your thoughts!
Jax is the character i can relate to the most but Clay was by far the most interesting character & the show wasn't the same after his death even though Jax pretty much took his place as the "Rotten"!!!!! Love all the others too especially Gemma & Nero & Chibs ❤️
I just finished the show yesterday with my family. And by the end I thought of how interesting it is that this show isn’t talked about like BB, The Sopranos, Better Call Saul and hell even The Walking Dead. Then I found your video and you said exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for the video is was amazing.
I started watching in S3 at the time and it became my favorite, but i'd agree S7 is the best. I gotta say the hole series is great, not that much re-watchable since things take A LOT of time to happen, specially in later seasons with episodes one hour long. I'd recommend to anyone who likes crime series, because it's one of the best in the genre. But as much as i consider being one of my favorite shows, it's one of the most violent i've seen. I remember being traumatized by S2E1 and what happens to Gemma, and by S7 they don't pull any punches. But then again, it's one of those shows where they show people getting blown, beaten till death and assaulted, but saying ''Fuck'' is a big no-no.
Keep going w the content. I'm a CZcams junkie and really love to engage when I find a creator relatively starting out (just going by how long channels been up) and encourage them! Happy New Year and keep it up.
Season 5 is maybe my favorite season due to the Introduction of Nero and Damon Pope. Nero is hands down the greatest casting addition the series ever got next to Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal. Damon pope is not only underrated but he helps make the greatest Character shift in Jax tellers Character arc and he is not the same person after Damon Pope influences his decision-making going foward.
Love this video, love the show! I was able to go to an event at a Harley dealer in Fort Myers FL. which Juice & Tigs were there on Stage, took pics and watched the finale of SOA w/ the audience! A night I will never forget! A Show I will always have mad love for!
By the end I was tired of SOA. The stories got more and more ridiculous to the point of complete farce. The only real law enforcement got executed early on and despite the massive number of murder, drugs, explosions not a single agent in sight. If they had kept the storylines closer to the central club it could have lasted longer and the quality higher.
This show is not nearly as good as The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, I’m not sure what makes you say that. I mean I get it if you like it more but what exactly is better from this show than those? This show was also heavily inspired by The Shield (Kurt Sutter was a writer on that show and almost the entire main cast has appearances on this show) which totally that obliterates it in every way. That show truly does dramatic irony or the secret things you mention the best. I’m not saying this show isn’t good, or even great at times, but its not on the level of top tier shows IMO, and The Shield executed so many of these things way better. That show also constantly escalated and ends amazingly arguably at its peak. I’m kinda shocked you praised the later seasons and ending so much when most people would say the show fell off. It just got progressively less believable, needlessly over extended and edgy to the point of absurdity. Glad you enjoyed it so much though thought it was better in the earlier seasons though.
I'm watching The Shield right now and will probably review it at some point down the line. The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are great shows. But what you are saying about SOA falling off in the later seasons...I think The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are prime examples of shows dropping the ball in the final season. And I'd much rather watch a show that gets a little weak in the middle than one that absolutely blows it in its final season. Also, The Sopranos had a terrible ending, which will always prevent it from topping a lot of other shows I've seen.
@@theplebe6342 Wow that’s crazy since most people say BB S5 is the best and they love the ending. I actually think Felina isn’t the best ending but the overall final season is one of the best. I’m honestly curious to hear your thoughts as to why. As for The Sopranos, a lot of people would call S6 the weakest and a lot of people do dislike the finale, but I personally couldn’t disagree more. I think S6 is not only the best season of the show but one of the best seasons of TV ever (Top 3 after The Wire S4 and The Shield S5 for me). I didn’t like it as much on first watch but on rewatch I thought the finale was genius and it’s one of my favorites now. I do also prefer shows to end strongly even if it means having a weaker middle, but I’m honestly surprised you feel that was about SOA lmao, I like to hear unique perspectives though lol. I hope you’re enjoying The Shield, I’ll be patiently waiting for the review, hopefully you don’t think it falls off 💀 I mean I’d say it’s almost impossible IMO its build up and final run of eps is unmatched, but you also think Breaking Bad dropped the ball so idk lmao.
I've watched SOA 33 times and I cannot get enough of it because it was the best show on television and it has been the only show that I really like on television this couple of years anybody who has not watched it needs to❤
Highly suggest watching The Sopranos if you haven't, it was the show that influenced Kurt Sutter most to make Sons of Anarchy. It's different in many ways but also very similar, you can see the resemblance. Also a show you can rewatch again and again
Great vid bro. My fav show of all time. Keep up the good work. U should do more sons vids. There r so many layers to the story that I would love to hear ur opinion on in a vid like this. Vikings is another good show I recommend if u haven't seen it.
It's absolute insanity that you think season seven is the best season. It was awful on so many levels. And that ending? Jax didn't atone for anything. He only cleaned up the messes he created by being exactly as single-minded as Clay was. The writers then try and frame it as some sort of redemption when he commits suicide.
Nero was a real G tho, just a straight up OG no bullshit no shady shit SoA is defined a top 5 show for. I wished Mayans was good but it just didn't hit the mark for me
SOA is one of my all time fav shows (have yet to watch Mayans but need to). Your review is spot on. I still can't get over how dumb the Juice story line was 🙄 but damn did Sutter & co do a magnificent job crafting a captivating series
Not going to spoil mayans for you but im interested to hear your opion. After watching it i started watching soa again for the 5th time. And let me tell you. Still captivating fresh show. I can only hope they do a first 9.
@@carlosj587 im finishing the last season of The Shield (Sutter's first FX show). Then gonna so Mayans! I'll def screenshot this & return when I finish it. If you haven't watched The Shield it's a must watch. Also set in the same universe as the One-Niners & Byz Lats are prevalent gangland players in it. Also tons of actors & actresses you know & love from SOA are in The Shield.
I had no idea kurt did that show. I always thought it was your typical action show for old folks. I was under the impression soa was his girst but now im not surprised. I nvr tried the shield because it seemed corny. Maybe is the actor who played the thing in fantastic 4. Hes very 1 dinensional, reminds me of walters brothere in law from breakin bad. Forgot his name, but i think is the actor who keapt me away, i guess ill give it a shot now. I need a new show. I dont like any of these new shows. Everyone has to be a born genious, twists left and right, lord spare me
I totally agree that the final season was the crescendo, and in that way, the best of the show. I found the series dragged on a bit too long, and the over the top chaos the club was getting away with began to strain my willful suspension of disbelief. I think that once Opie died, which was great TV for sure and a 🔥 moment, marked a downhill stretch and there were more noticeable layers of cheese to some of the characters interactions and stuff. I really enjoyed the episode where they finally killed Clay though. The final season was marked with so many great moments and performances and monologues, it really brought it all home and I'm so glad Jax didn't get to ride off in the sunset. He was a destructive and deadly albeit sympathetic moron blinded and manipulated by his mother, the true Gus Fring of the whole show. Underrated TV. Never have seen "Mayans". Should I?
i watched soa a while back and got hooked and i was never able to find any actual videos of the tv show besides people showing parts of the show and this is the first video i have watched that actually talks about the show
People talk shit about how Juice was written. Why can't we all just talk about how well Theo Rossi did in the role. His performance alone is why I like the character, I can get over the storyline
Btw I remember watching the season 5 premiere the night it aired and Damon Pope burning Tigs daughter had to be one of the most disturbing scenes I’ve ever watched ever. The second time I saw the scene on steaming I was swearing up and down that the original broadcast version of the scene was longer and more painful to watch. To this day I don’t know if that was actually the case or me just misremembering it but god damn what a powerful scene.
Whole heartedly agree about how dumb season 3's Ireland plot and Juice becoming a rat were Season 4 REALLY upped the ante of this show for me. Getting dragged into the cartel business was what really made things interesting
THAT is NOT how Any of us want to go out. That was a stupid line of Gemma's written into the script to romanticize the death of a biker. Dont believe it.
half the plot wouldn't have even happened if the characters just communicated more lmao. Only bad thing I would say about the show is the absolute anti-irish stereotypes represented in the show. For starters half of the so called fellas who are supposed to be from NI have republic accents, and every irishman is depicted as just being bloodthirsty vicious barbarians. We may have been like that at some point but its the 21st century now lol.
Totally disagree. I think Season 6 and 7 were the worst. 3 taking bronze. Season 2 and 4 were the best. Also Gemma and Tig are the worst characters. They're just deplorable. Jax as well in the later seasons. He just becomes a brutal mass murderer, which is hard to feel sympathetic for. I think the show ran out of steam in the last few seasons and felt repetitive and boring. The earlier seasons were better because they were fresh, balanced and kept things familiar to grow more attachment to the characters.
the ending looked so fake, like the most fake eve, you can tell the bike was being pulled by somethng and it just didnt look natural compared to the whole show.
I love this review, and yes this show needs more analysis like this about. It's my favorite show of all time and despite how popular AND well criticized it was, it doesnt get mentioned for best shows ever like Sopranos or Breaking Bad, even though I'd argue that not only should it be, it might be BETTER, because as you stated, it actually keeps its momentum the entire time and its BEST moments are at the end, instead of the last seasons being weird or stupid like most others. One thing I disagree with you on I like Tara. Alot. And the reasons you dont are VERY understandable. But it's a clear reminder of exactly what you highlighted back in season 3. She wasn't supposed to be apart of this life. Never was. She doesn't have the street smarts, nor the ruthlessness, to properly survive here. She didn't kill Salazar, even though she CLEARLY should have LOL, because she never wanted to. She didn't want to hurt anyone. And just like you pointed out, the longer she was there, the crazier she became. Season 5 Tara was ridiculous, plotting that fake pregnancy was INSANE, and the fallout is exactly what it should have been. And yet when she dies at the end of season 6......you still feel terrible. Because you know despite everything, she was a good soul that didn't deserve what happened.
Check this out I watched the entire first four seasons of Mayhans, before actually watching the first episode of SOA after changing my cable from Comcast to one that has Hulu in the package just a few months ago. While watching the second season of Mayhans, EZ and Angel let Happy live after finding out that he was the one who killed their mother. This blows my mind, and then when I finally watched the SOA, I see that Kurt Sutter had already did something like that in his previous work when he makes it where Oppie is okay with the fact that Clay and Tig killed his wife Donna. Kurt Sutter is one crazy Good writer , so good that he gets himself fired from his own show because he does that joke about Jews, Hitler, and Walt Disney! After Disney merged with Fox they fired his ass. LoL hahaha PS:. After finally watching the first episode of SOA, I have since watched the entire 7 seasons two different times. Oppie getting killed was only, the second time that I cried during a TV show. The first time was at the very end of old yeller, back in 1975 when I was only 5'years old.
Haha yeah there is a bit of suspension of disbelief that Opie didn't savagely murder Clay or Tig but it's written in a way that kinda made it work. And yeah everyone cried when Opie died.
Two shows that never got their due, Banshee and Taboo! I suspect these two were lost in the transition between cable and streaming. Anyway, thanks for another fun breakdown!
This show definitely comes up far more in casual real life conversation and chit-chat shit talk than it does on CZcams, which is surprising. Maybe it will have a retro/nostalgia boost of a resurgence at some point. It's cyclical in some ways. I feel like a lot of these Sopranos centric channels really fired up alongside "many saints of Newark"s production as well as the success of a podcast featuring two big stars of the analyzing every episode, something "always sunny" is doing now too.
Just finished it it's definitely one of my top 30 favorite shows ever seasons 2 and 4 especially were incredible and intense, also thank you for understanding how shitty of a character Tara became and how she basically signed her own death warrant
I watched the clips of it and I can see myself watching the whole series of sons of anarchy. Couple months later I’m watching sons of anarchy now is really good . I’m on season 3 so far
Amazing video, amazing show! I agree with a lot of the points made here 💯 Side note… has anyone ever told you that you kind of sound like Theo Rossi (Juice)?
I agree that it is better than Breaking Bad, but it’s not clearly better than The Sopranos. The Sopranos was masterfully written with beautiful plots, character arcs and much more and a wonderful insight into the legitimate underworld of society. Also, the time that the sopranos is written is at a critical point in mafias storied history as most monsters were trying to live the American dream as well
I have the opposite opinion I think breaking bad is slightly better than SOA, but SOA is slightly better than sopranos. Can’t go wrong with any of the three though all are excellent shows
I really hated that they got rid of stutter on Mayans mc. If they had kept him and gotten a Spanish writer too. That would have been better than what they did at the end of that show. This show is my fav all time show ever
Wow great review of the show. SOA was and is the best show I've ever watched on TV. Losing opie hurt Jax but losing Tara destroyed him. You can tell by the cry he lets out holding her in their kitchen it was his soul being ripped outta his body. Also believe the ending scene the cop cars following him were all his bad sins. RIP Jax #Samcro
I love Tara, she does make some dumb decisions, but everyone does... Doctors know a lot about medicine, but besides that they are as prone to stupidity as the rest of us. To me Season 3 is far better than season 4, including the Belfast arc... I do agree with you on everything else. Thanks for doing this video.
Great review bro totally agree with you on many of your thoughts especially the FACT that Season 5 was legendary and one of the best seasons but the end of Season 6 and 7 with Tara’s murder and Gemma and Jax’s death take the cake for me!! I watched this back when it aired around the late 2000s with my college buddies and this is still one of my Top 3 favorite TV shows of all time Including The Wire and The Sopranos!!!
Just finished my second rewatch of SOA and its one of the best if not the best shows I've ever watched. The only storyline i wasn't a fan of was the whole juice getting blackmailed about having a black dad. It felt drawn out. Season 3s finale was fantastic and made up for the drawn out abel plot.
Just want to congratulations on this great video, this show is so fucking great, I love how it is essentially a show about people, and how this people reacts to awful things that happens to them, sometimes they make some good calls, but at the heat of the moment, bad choices is more likely
The soundtrack is amazing, and about Tig I think he has one of the most interesting character arcs, he starts as Clays dogs, completely loyal to him, and later on he sees that most of the things that bites him in the ass, are because his love and loyalty to clay
@@theplebe6342 They did, and his an absolute insane villain. I think you would love him, regarding him "taking over" the Stahl role. He plays his cards so well, and is directly psychotic, but with a lot of dark humor too it. Oh by the way, the Tara being dumb as shit thing, had me dying laughing, 'cause i have been getting a lot of shit from friends for saying the exact same things about her. Shes a fucking doctor, but is a fucking moron. 😂
I loved Sons but I couldn’t help but feel that Season 1-2 were perfect but then once season 3 hit it was hard to get thru that storyline & especially when Oppie died I found it hard to continue to watch the show. It felt like it got slower but the twist with Jax killin Pope brought me back into interest with the show. Overall great show but I agree with this review they killed off a lot of good villains and characters too early. But Jax was always awesome to root for & the acting of Katy Segal & Ron Perlman with the rest of the cast was great. No show is perfect but Sons was awesome 🐦⬛
I love sons of anarchy’s, it is by far my favorite show of all time, I also wasn’t crazy about season 3 til the end, but man did it make up for it in the next few seasons. I havnt watched much of mayans mc but I’m gonna remedy that soon as I can. I’ve heard a lot of rumors and stuff about Kurt shutters abrasiveness, true or not I feel like it’s gonna hold him back at being able to make any other shows In this universe, weather it’s a first 9 series or a series following Jax sons but it may be for the best though cause it would be hard to make something better than sons and could possibly only hurt the overall series cause it’s gonna be hard to beat the original
I actually like Tara as a character. Her being a doctor doesnt mean shes the most intelligent person on earth. Or always makes the most sound or right decisions. believe it or not, doctors are also humans who can be good and bad and makes mistakes
Excellent storytelling and editing. I didn't watch SOA when it aired, too much life shit going on to sit still. I bought the whole series and binged a while back. I agree with most of your opinions on the storylines. I did think Tara's and Wendy's characters were too weak to fill the role as the future SOA President 's woman no matter who he ended up with. I wish the ending wasn't so final.
Agreed, one of the greatest shows of all time. The violence could be over-the-top at times and I thought the ending was contrived and not believable. But overall, amazing. Sometimes when I'm just walking down the street, I wonder why I can't walk more like Jax 😂
I believe the show was so interesting because real HA's were involved in the show. I won't say which episodes, but some of the action storylines were awfully familiar 🤔. Real life is stranger than fiction.
Ya it’s funny how MC’s are mostly born out of Anarchy movements and we’ve all been lead to believe the meaning of Anarchy is chaos but it’s not. Anarchy can be trimmed down to just not giving to much power to government and or not making big government. Small, minimal government where citizens police each other fairly and choices are made democratically. A lot like how you see in the show … but the gavel corrupts
one of the badest things in the series is the end. it is so clear that it happens at so low speed, that the police cars almost stalls. they just follow him at snails pace. at anytime doing the chase they could have overtaken him. (the writing was good, the stunt work really bad )
Great review but how do you not mention the Mayans are the 1 9ersand that history and no mention of Happy are Unser two very important characters in the show
I think alot of ppl miss the point of this show. They say the characters are inconsistent for constantly talking about loyalty to the brotherhood before stabbing eachother in the back...but i think in the end thats the point. They're criminals....clay didnt make them rotten they were always hypocrites. The only ones who upheld the nobility of the brotherhood died at the hands of the people who sought to profit from their misplaced loyalty or ended up losing their way like jax
The theme of brotherhood being such a huge part of this show is to show its flaws and its benefits. But there are definitely benefits and a lot of the loyalty is remolded and reshaped.
The low hanging fruit comment about Jax is one of the best observations about the series as a whole. This one long turn may be what makes this series unique. The viewer sees the long swirling downturn for seasons but it suddenly gets ripped away.
Great show !! I just saw it complete !! I loved the comments and reflection about the Show !! TIG RULES !! How is the Mayans? And what about the new SOA First 9?
I usually watch it maybe twice a year from start to finish, really binge watch it. It never gets old. "I GOT THIS" hurts every time. They did find a good replacement for Half-Sack in Rat & Filthy Phil I thing though
I loved the first few seasons of this show. But for me the moment this show died was when a certain character died in season 5. I won’t say to avoid spoilers but after that everything went down hill for me with this show. And I honestly couldn’t watch it again if I tried
Re: Tara - My Man! Hell yes. Spoiler free comments ahead: Her best moment was in the bathroom with Jax. All downhill from there, with one exception. Sitting across from Gemma, giving her the strength she needed to just talk. Apart from that she was plot convenience girl, which made her dumb as hell, and it sucked.
also I think half sack had to go because he got into some serious trouble. Pretty sure at some point after the show he even kidnapped his girlfriend or something at gun point
This show could have been so much better if had payed attention to some of the small things and to answer you ? Yes clubs vote on things but criminal endeavors would never be voted on as they did in the show the members may be doing some shady shit but the club is a completely separate entity and is treated as such
As a black person, the one thing that drew me to SAMCRO was Jax Tellers fashion. He could've been a regular biker with the traditional fitted jeans and biker boots BUT this dude rocks baggy pants and Nike Airforce Ones. That's aspect alone is a draw. Charlie Hunman modelled his look after a biker who loved hip hop culture and sadly was killed before the airing of the show. Charlie took on his mannerisms and style in honour of him and wore a bullet necklace as homage to him throughout.
Don't forget his pocket chain. Jax Teller looked fly.
@@theplebe6342 Jax had swag. Plus let's not forget his negotiating skills.
I'm a black person who watched all 7 seasons of this show and your exactly right.
Me and my family always commented on his All White Air Force 1s looking clean as hell,and me personally I really loved his Hairstyle After Season 5 and onward.
Kinda makes it that more ironic that the club didn't want any black people in it till the end of the show.
@@dominiqueodom3099I'm not black , I'm Italiano but I grew up in the hood & everything u said is what drew me to the show cuz I hated bikers my entire life but Jax adds a neighborhood thug quality 💯
I don’t see how Gemma was peoples favorite character in the show, i hated gemma since the beginning and in the end she was the catalyst for jax’s downfall. Everything bad that happened most of the time was because of Gemma, she had too much influence for being just an old lady. Worst character in the show IMO.
Being a favorite character doesn't necessarily mean the character is a good person. Gemma is absolutely evil, but she's also complex and interesting.
She did a good acting. She didn't care if she was liked or hated. She knew exactly who she was & how much influence she had over 2 high ranking members. Her Husband and her Son. All the members respected who she was. The town of CHARMING - new who she was - she knew how to influence people from locals - to members & law enforcement & she knew alot of club business. Was the show far fetched - absolutely- but for it'd time - it was a great show. I think it should off ended differently- it wasn't a comedy - it was a DRAMA - & it ended in tragedy.
Yea I know she’s the reason clay killed jax dad and everything
In rewatch she can be very annoying but she still important
Being a favourite character doesn’t mean viewers “like” her.
One of my all time favorite moments in the show was in season 3 when Jax is following the family who adopted abel and is torn on whether or not to leave him there tore my heart out
Yeah that was super emotional.
pretty much dictated how the show was going to end as well. So many incredible scenes that made it special.
Absolute favorite scene.
that was completely illogical, he stabs and shoots people to get his son back is depressed, and just becasue some priest says it's not good he all of a sudden doubts all his decisions? that doesn't make sense, especially after learning of his half sister and saying he is done listening to dead people, the only reason they skipped their bail hearing is to get abel
“Gemma is the matriarch of the sons and family is the most important thing to her” disagree, Gemma is the most important thing to Gemma.
I think her selfishness increases as the show goes on.
The definition of family to Gemma is “people who consider me Queen”
Ope (Ryan) said it perfectly in an interview, “no need to watch it more than once it’s a downer”,
It’s just another American classic caution tale.
I can't explain how great this show. Exciting moments heartbreaking moments and deep moments
Great video. This show takes you for an absolute ride and it's incredibly gripping. Really grows on you. Every season gets significantly more dark and it definitely takes some unexpected turns. 100% recommend.
There's more sweeping statements here than an amateur dramatic production of Cinderella. Gemma is awful and interferes throughout and I'm not sure she's anyone's favourites. I'm with you on the dumb choices and your nod to Juice, he is the king of dumb choices. I like this video. Well done, mostly 😉
Best finale ever. Starts with Springsteen, ends with Come Join the Murder. Outstanding. Plus, Tig finds love.
Don't ask why they kill Half Sack. Don't ask about Hale. Ignore the Irish accents and the fake Belfast thing. And your SOA life is good.😊
I thought the show killed half-sack, because the actor who played him had some extreme mental health issues and couldn't do the show anymore. Anyways thanks so much for this SOA review. Just got done watching the show and already miss it. My favorite season is season 1 just for the simple reason that it was fun and lighthearted, before the show got really dark.
Really enjoy the video and appreciate you taking the time to make it, given you were definitely right about no one doing a serious, full series review/retrospective on SoA. Even with the goofiness and, let's face it, subpar writing some of the time, it's still a great show. Let's just not get too hyped up and throw out the "better than the Sopranos" take so confidently lol. Can't tell someone their opinion is wrong, and that's totally not what I'm saying.. just that if one were to pick certain aspects of each series and really compare them fairly and without bias in terms of overall execution, one is going to come out on top every time.. and let's just say that Jax would surely want to introduce someone to Mister Mayhem after getting the news 😅😅
But, again, in all seriousness.. great video.
Thanks. It's...a tough call in some ways. I would like to do my take on The Sopranos at some point. I'm trying to review things that don't get as much of a spotlight and The Sopranos certainly does get the spotlight on CZcams. But for now, in response to this comment, I will say that although I appreciate the maturity of the themes in The Sopranos and how much detail was put into the placement of those themes in the show, I think SoA was a better SCRIPTED show. I feel like it rewarded the hours I put into it more than The Sopranos did.
But that's something to get into in more detail if or when I review The Sopranos.
Thank you for this! I've been waiting for someone to make a good video on SOA. I was actually in the process of writing a script to make a video on it myself but I think you about covered it all. 👌
You should still make your video, everyone has a different take.
More content about this show is always welcome
What a well-put-together video. You really made me feel like I was talking to you about the show and having a discussion with a fellow fan of my all-time favorite show. This show had such an impact on my life since I was 17-18 years old, and I still to this day watch scenes or episodes.
Thank you! That's sort of what they're meant to feel like. Stay tuned, I plan on doing Mayans this year.
@@theplebe6342 I cannot wait for you to make that video 🔥 Overall, what did you think of it? Unlike a lot of people, I actually loved the show even more after Sutter was fired. While I love Sutter for what he made with Sons, Mayans was something totally different and I allowed it to be loved for that. I think too many people wanted it to be Sons 2.0.
@@thekenconklin Haven't watched Mayans yet, gonna start this month though.
@@thekenconklin Didn't know Kurt was fired though...let's see if that affects the show.
@@theplebe6342 the show has a sons of anarchy, feel to it up through season four, then it feels more like a different style of crime drama. But the fact that some of the sons of anarchy characters return, and they are at war with the Mayans, and the Mayans are somewhat the good guys at this time., It’s very interesting. I definitely enjoyed it, but I know a lot of people had complaints about this. Start watching so I can hear your thoughts!
Great review. This show is my favorite of all time. Jax teller is the best protagonist of all time no one will ever match his character. 🙂
Thanks!
I think at the end when Jax asked who the mystery woman was, I think he *knew* she was there as *his* reaper. Just my opinion.
Fun Fact the trucker he kills himself with is the same trucker who picks up Gemma earlier in the season
Funny to say killed himself with a trucker
Another fun fact is the actor who drives that truck is the main actor in The Shield, the show Kurt Sutter wrote & acted in as well.
@@Clipsb3yup vic Mackey one of the best characters ever
Jax is the character i can relate to the most but Clay was by far the most interesting character & the show wasn't the same after his death even though Jax pretty much took his place as the "Rotten"!!!!! Love all the others too especially Gemma & Nero & Chibs ❤️
I love how in the season 3 finale, on the bus, you can see chibs drinking Jameson whiskey out of a juice box.
Your cover of the intro song is absolutely beautiful.
Stunning, love it, well done.
I just finished the show yesterday with my family. And by the end I thought of how interesting it is that this show isn’t talked about like BB, The Sopranos, Better Call Saul and hell even The Walking Dead. Then I found your video and you said exactly what I was thinking. Thank you for the video is was amazing.
I started watching in S3 at the time and it became my favorite, but i'd agree S7 is the best. I gotta say the hole series is great, not that much re-watchable since things take A LOT of time to happen, specially in later seasons with episodes one hour long.
I'd recommend to anyone who likes crime series, because it's one of the best in the genre. But as much as i consider being one of my favorite shows, it's one of the most violent i've seen. I remember being traumatized by S2E1 and what happens to Gemma, and by S7 they don't pull any punches.
But then again, it's one of those shows where they show people getting blown, beaten till death and assaulted, but saying ''Fuck'' is a big no-no.
Yeah it's the FX effect. Brutal violence, can't say fuck.
Keep going w the content. I'm a CZcams junkie and really love to engage when I find a creator relatively starting out (just going by how long channels been up) and encourage them! Happy New Year and keep it up.
Thanks! Happy New Year!
Season 5 is maybe my favorite season due to the Introduction of Nero and Damon Pope.
Nero is hands down the greatest casting addition the series ever got next to Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal.
Damon pope is not only underrated but he helps make the greatest Character shift in Jax tellers Character arc and he is not the same person after Damon Pope influences his decision-making going foward.
Good call. Nero really was a great addition and Pope was a great villain.
Love this video, love the show! I was able to go to an event at a Harley dealer in Fort Myers FL. which Juice & Tigs were there on Stage, took pics and watched the finale of SOA w/ the audience! A night I will never forget! A Show I will always have mad love for!
Jax Teller is my favorite main character of all time
He's a good one to have.
By the end I was tired of SOA. The stories got more and more ridiculous to the point of complete farce. The only real law enforcement got executed early on and despite the massive number of murder, drugs, explosions not a single agent in sight. If they had kept the storylines closer to the central club it could have lasted longer and the quality higher.
This show is not nearly as good as The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, I’m not sure what makes you say that. I mean I get it if you like it more but what exactly is better from this show than those? This show was also heavily inspired by The Shield (Kurt Sutter was a writer on that show and almost the entire main cast has appearances on this show) which totally that obliterates it in every way. That show truly does dramatic irony or the secret things you mention the best. I’m not saying this show isn’t good, or even great at times, but its not on the level of top tier shows IMO, and The Shield executed so many of these things way better. That show also constantly escalated and ends amazingly arguably at its peak. I’m kinda shocked you praised the later seasons and ending so much when most people would say the show fell off. It just got progressively less believable, needlessly over extended and edgy to the point of absurdity. Glad you enjoyed it so much though thought it was better in the earlier seasons though.
I'm watching The Shield right now and will probably review it at some point down the line.
The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are great shows. But what you are saying about SOA falling off in the later seasons...I think The Sopranos and Breaking Bad are prime examples of shows dropping the ball in the final season. And I'd much rather watch a show that gets a little weak in the middle than one that absolutely blows it in its final season.
Also, The Sopranos had a terrible ending, which will always prevent it from topping a lot of other shows I've seen.
@@theplebe6342 Wow that’s crazy since most people say BB S5 is the best and they love the ending. I actually think Felina isn’t the best ending but the overall final season is one of the best. I’m honestly curious to hear your thoughts as to why. As for The Sopranos, a lot of people would call S6 the weakest and a lot of people do dislike the finale, but I personally couldn’t disagree more. I think S6 is not only the best season of the show but one of the best seasons of TV ever (Top 3 after The Wire S4 and The Shield S5 for me). I didn’t like it as much on first watch but on rewatch I thought the finale was genius and it’s one of my favorites now. I do also prefer shows to end strongly even if it means having a weaker middle, but I’m honestly surprised you feel that was about SOA lmao, I like to hear unique perspectives though lol. I hope you’re enjoying The Shield, I’ll be patiently waiting for the review, hopefully you don’t think it falls off 💀 I mean I’d say it’s almost impossible IMO its build up and final run of eps is unmatched, but you also think Breaking Bad dropped the ball so idk lmao.
I've watched SOA 33 times and I cannot get enough of it because it was the best show on television and it has been the only show that I really like on television this couple of years anybody who has not watched it needs to❤
Highly suggest watching The Sopranos if you haven't, it was the show that influenced Kurt Sutter most to make Sons of Anarchy. It's different in many ways but also very similar, you can see the resemblance. Also a show you can rewatch again and again
Great vid bro. My fav show of all time. Keep up the good work. U should do more sons vids. There r so many layers to the story that I would love to hear ur opinion on in a vid like this. Vikings is another good show I recommend if u haven't seen it.
Thanks so much! Yeah I might revisit some details in the story sometime. I've heard good things about Vikings. I deff wanna watch The Shield too.
If you look up "triple cross" in the dictionary you would find Jack Teller's name
It's absolute insanity that you think season seven is the best season. It was awful on so many levels. And that ending? Jax didn't atone for anything. He only cleaned up the messes he created by being exactly as single-minded as Clay was. The writers then try and frame it as some sort of redemption when he commits suicide.
Nero was a real G tho, just a straight up OG no bullshit no shady shit
SoA is defined a top 5 show for. I wished Mayans was good but it just didn't hit the mark for me
I fucking love Nero.
Thank you man. 👍😎 This show really isn't popular on CZcams.
Thank YOU for watching! And yeah, I lean towards covering stuff that isn't well represented on CZcams. Gets me more views.
SOA is one of my all time fav shows (have yet to watch Mayans but need to). Your review is spot on. I still can't get over how dumb the Juice story line was 🙄 but damn did Sutter & co do a magnificent job crafting a captivating series
Not going to spoil mayans for you but im interested to hear your opion. After watching it i started watching soa again for the 5th time. And let me tell you. Still captivating fresh show. I can only hope they do a first 9.
@@carlosj587 im finishing the last season of The Shield (Sutter's first FX show). Then gonna so Mayans! I'll def screenshot this & return when I finish it. If you haven't watched The Shield it's a must watch. Also set in the same universe as the One-Niners & Byz Lats are prevalent gangland players in it. Also tons of actors & actresses you know & love from SOA are in The Shield.
I had no idea kurt did that show. I always thought it was your typical action show for old folks.
I was under the impression soa was his girst but now im not surprised. I nvr tried the shield because it seemed corny. Maybe is the actor who played the thing in fantastic 4.
Hes very 1 dinensional, reminds me of walters brothere in law from breakin bad. Forgot his name, but i think is the actor who keapt me away, i guess ill give it a shot now. I need a new show. I dont like any of these new shows. Everyone has to be a born genious, twists left and right, lord spare me
I agree with almost all takes, especially the shoutout to Vile Eye to do a vid on Gemma, very much agree lol.
Vile Eye is awesome.
Finally! I found someone who doesn’t like season 3. Hated the Belfast storyline and thought it dragged on forever.
I totally agree that the final season was the crescendo, and in that way, the best of the show. I found the series dragged on a bit too long, and the over the top chaos the club was getting away with began to strain my willful suspension of disbelief. I think that once Opie died, which was great TV for sure and a 🔥 moment, marked a downhill stretch and there were more noticeable layers of cheese to some of the characters interactions and stuff. I really enjoyed the episode where they finally killed Clay though. The final season was marked with so many great moments and performances and monologues, it really brought it all home and I'm so glad Jax didn't get to ride off in the sunset. He was a destructive and deadly albeit sympathetic moron blinded and manipulated by his mother, the true Gus Fring of the whole show. Underrated TV. Never have seen "Mayans". Should I?
I haven't seen Mayans yet. Waiting for the whole series on DVD to make reviewing easier.
i watched soa a while back and got hooked and i was never able to find any actual videos of the tv show besides people showing parts of the show and this is the first video i have watched that actually talks about the show
Thanks, yeah I noticed that too!
There is a channel called Josh Fleeks that discusses SOA
People talk shit about how Juice was written. Why can't we all just talk about how well Theo Rossi did in the role. His performance alone is why I like the character, I can get over the storyline
100% true. Theo Rossi was great.
Btw I remember watching the season 5 premiere the night it aired and Damon Pope burning Tigs daughter had to be one of the most disturbing scenes I’ve ever watched ever. The second time I saw the scene on steaming I was swearing up and down that the original broadcast version of the scene was longer and more painful to watch. To this day I don’t know if that was actually the case or me just misremembering it but god damn what a powerful scene.
Whole heartedly agree about how dumb season 3's Ireland plot and Juice becoming a rat were
Season 4 REALLY upped the ante of this show for me. Getting dragged into the cartel business was what really made things interesting
The difference being SOA made me fucking depressed more often than it didn't lol
THAT is NOT how Any of us want to go out. That was a stupid line of Gemma's written into the script to romanticize the death of a biker. Dont believe it.
half the plot wouldn't have even happened if the characters just communicated more lmao. Only bad thing I would say about the show is the absolute anti-irish stereotypes represented in the show. For starters half of the so called fellas who are supposed to be from NI have republic accents, and every irishman is depicted as just being bloodthirsty vicious barbarians. We may have been like that at some point but its the 21st century now lol.
Totally disagree. I think Season 6 and 7 were the worst. 3 taking bronze. Season 2 and 4 were the best.
Also Gemma and Tig are the worst characters. They're just deplorable.
Jax as well in the later seasons. He just becomes a brutal mass murderer, which is hard to feel sympathetic for.
I think the show ran out of steam in the last few seasons and felt repetitive and boring. The earlier seasons were better because they were fresh, balanced and kept things familiar to grow more attachment to the characters.
Well, you couldn’t be more wrong could you?
@@kylenolen9546 No you couldn't be more wrong
@@gothelvis3541 seeing how I just finished it for the second time like three days ago I can tell you that you are definitely wrong
@kylenolen9546 Watched it last month, excluding Season 1. Def not wrong
the ending looked so fake, like the most fake eve, you can tell the bike was being pulled by somethng and it just didnt look natural compared to the whole show.
I love this review, and yes this show needs more analysis like this about. It's my favorite show of all time and despite how popular AND well criticized it was, it doesnt get mentioned for best shows ever like Sopranos or Breaking Bad, even though I'd argue that not only should it be, it might be BETTER, because as you stated, it actually keeps its momentum the entire time and its BEST moments are at the end, instead of the last seasons being weird or stupid like most others. One thing I disagree with you on
I like Tara. Alot. And the reasons you dont are VERY understandable. But it's a clear reminder of exactly what you highlighted back in season 3. She wasn't supposed to be apart of this life. Never was. She doesn't have the street smarts, nor the ruthlessness, to properly survive here. She didn't kill Salazar, even though she CLEARLY should have LOL, because she never wanted to. She didn't want to hurt anyone. And just like you pointed out, the longer she was there, the crazier she became. Season 5 Tara was ridiculous, plotting that fake pregnancy was INSANE, and the fallout is exactly what it should have been. And yet when she dies at the end of season 6......you still feel terrible. Because you know despite everything, she was a good soul that didn't deserve what happened.
Check this out I watched the entire first four seasons of Mayhans, before actually watching the first episode of SOA after changing my cable from Comcast to one that has Hulu in the package just a few months ago.
While watching the second season of Mayhans, EZ and Angel let Happy live after finding out that he was the one who killed their mother. This blows my mind, and then when I finally watched the SOA, I see that Kurt Sutter had already did something like that in his previous work when he makes it where Oppie is okay with the fact that Clay and Tig killed his wife Donna.
Kurt Sutter is one crazy Good writer , so good that he gets himself fired from his own show because he does that joke about Jews, Hitler, and Walt Disney! After Disney merged with Fox they fired his ass. LoL hahaha
PS:. After finally watching the first episode of SOA, I have since watched the entire 7 seasons two different times. Oppie getting killed was only, the second time that I cried during a TV show. The first time was at the very end of old yeller, back in 1975 when I was only 5'years old.
Haha yeah there is a bit of suspension of disbelief that Opie didn't savagely murder Clay or Tig but it's written in a way that kinda made it work. And yeah everyone cried when Opie died.
Two shows that never got their due, Banshee and Taboo! I suspect these two were lost in the transition between cable and streaming. Anyway, thanks for another fun breakdown!
This show definitely comes up far more in casual real life conversation and chit-chat shit talk than it does on CZcams, which is surprising. Maybe it will have a retro/nostalgia boost of a resurgence at some point. It's cyclical in some ways. I feel like a lot of these Sopranos centric channels really fired up alongside "many saints of Newark"s production as well as the success of a podcast featuring two big stars of the analyzing every episode, something "always sunny" is doing now too.
Just finished it it's definitely one of my top 30 favorite shows ever seasons 2 and 4 especially were incredible and intense, also thank you for understanding how shitty of a character Tara became and how she basically signed her own death warrant
I watched the clips of it and I can see myself watching the whole series of sons of anarchy. Couple months later I’m watching sons of anarchy now is really good . I’m on season 3 so far
Amazing video, amazing show! I agree with a lot of the points made here 💯
Side note… has anyone ever told you that you kind of sound like Theo Rossi (Juice)?
No haha but thanks.
Wouldn't it be funny if I was secretly Theo Rossi trying to get more people to watch SOA?
That was awesome ! I never saw season 7 ! Holy F ! Very well done sir ! Would love to hear your thoughts on Breaking Bad & Sopranos !
Well...I did review the ending of The Sopranos.
@@theplebe6342 love your presentation !
I agree that it is better than Breaking Bad, but it’s not clearly better than The Sopranos. The Sopranos was masterfully written with beautiful plots, character arcs and much more and a wonderful insight into the legitimate underworld of society. Also, the time that the sopranos is written is at a critical point in mafias storied history as most monsters were trying to live the American dream as well
I have the opposite opinion I think breaking bad is slightly better than SOA, but SOA is slightly better than sopranos. Can’t go wrong with any of the three though all are excellent shows
I really hated that they got rid of stutter on Mayans mc. If they had kept him and gotten a Spanish writer too. That would have been better than what they did at the end of that show. This show is my fav all time show ever
Wow great review of the show. SOA was and is the best show I've ever watched on TV. Losing opie hurt Jax but losing Tara destroyed him. You can tell by the cry he lets out holding her in their kitchen it was his soul being ripped outta his body. Also believe the ending scene the cop cars following him were all his bad sins. RIP Jax #Samcro
I love Tara, she does make some dumb decisions, but everyone does... Doctors know a lot about medicine, but besides that they are as prone to stupidity as the rest of us. To me Season 3 is far better than season 4, including the Belfast arc... I do agree with you on everything else. Thanks for doing this video.
Great review bro totally agree with you on many of your thoughts especially the FACT that Season 5 was legendary and one of the best seasons but the end of Season 6 and 7 with Tara’s murder and Gemma and Jax’s death take the cake for me!! I watched this back when it aired around the late 2000s with my college buddies and this is still one of my Top 3 favorite TV shows of all time Including The Wire and The Sopranos!!!
Just finished my second rewatch of SOA and its one of the best if not the best shows I've ever watched. The only storyline i wasn't a fan of was the whole juice getting blackmailed about having a black dad. It felt drawn out.
Season 3s finale was fantastic and made up for the drawn out abel plot.
wholeheartedly agree
Just want to congratulations on this great video, this show is so fucking great, I love how it is essentially a show about people, and how this people reacts to awful things that happens to them, sometimes they make some good calls, but at the heat of the moment, bad choices is more likely
The soundtrack is amazing, and about Tig I think he has one of the most interesting character arcs, he starts as Clays dogs, completely loyal to him, and later on he sees that most of the things that bites him in the ass, are because his love and loyalty to clay
Thanks man, I really appreciate it! Yeah SoA is incredible. And Tig's arc is one of the absolute best, I love what this show did with his character.
My favorite TV Series of All Time Samcrow forever ☠️
Gemma and Jax both loved Nero so much , ecause Nero was a very good man .
Its funny, i could not stand Potter either in SOA. But in Mayans MC tho, hes amazing. If you havent watched it yet, please do. 😂
Glad to hear they redeemed his character somewhat.
@@theplebe6342 They did, and his an absolute insane villain. I think you would love him, regarding him "taking over" the Stahl role. He plays his cards so well, and is directly psychotic, but with a lot of dark humor too it. Oh by the way, the Tara being dumb as shit thing, had me dying laughing, 'cause i have been getting a lot of shit from friends for saying the exact same things about her. Shes a fucking doctor, but is a fucking moron. 😂
I loved Sons but I couldn’t help but feel that Season 1-2 were perfect but then once season 3 hit it was hard to get thru that storyline & especially when Oppie died I found it hard to continue to watch the show. It felt like it got slower but the twist with Jax killin Pope brought me back into interest with the show. Overall great show but I agree with this review they killed off a lot of good villains and characters too early. But Jax was always awesome to root for & the acting of Katy Segal & Ron Perlman with the rest of the cast was great. No show is perfect but Sons was awesome 🐦⬛
I love sons of anarchy’s, it is by far my favorite show of all time, I also wasn’t crazy about season 3 til the end, but man did it make up for it in the next few seasons.
I havnt watched much of mayans mc but I’m gonna remedy that soon as I can.
I’ve heard a lot of rumors and stuff about Kurt shutters abrasiveness, true or not I feel like it’s gonna hold him back at being able to make any other shows In this universe, weather it’s a first 9 series or a series following Jax sons but it may be for the best though cause it would be hard to make something better than sons and could possibly only hurt the overall series cause it’s gonna be hard to beat the original
I haven’t watched Mayans yet but I keep hearing it ain’t sons. Kind of the same thing I hear about Better Call Saul.
1: The First 9
2: Grim Bastards
I really think they could have done a better storyline for Opies he could and would have been a better president then prob all the ones we got
SOA is one of my all time favorites. Charlie Hunnam became one of my favorite actors because of Jax.
I love this video
Ages well too considering every tv like (breaking bad , walking dead )show is blowing up on tik tok etc
I actually like Tara as a character. Her being a doctor doesnt mean shes the most intelligent person on earth. Or always makes the most sound or right decisions.
believe it or not, doctors are also humans who can be good and bad and makes mistakes
Excellent storytelling and editing. I didn't watch SOA when it aired, too much life shit going on to sit still. I bought the whole series and binged a while back. I agree with most of your opinions on the storylines. I did think Tara's and Wendy's characters were too weak to fill the role as the future SOA President 's woman no matter who he ended up with. I wish the ending wasn't so final.
Clay wasn’t a founding member of the club he was sponsored by piney
I think the Wendy trunk line was in reference to her being kidnapped by the Irish from the hospital in either season 5 or 6
Agreed, one of the greatest shows of all time. The violence could be over-the-top at times and I thought the ending was contrived and not believable. But overall, amazing. Sometimes when I'm just walking down the street, I wonder why I can't walk more like Jax 😂
SOA MY FAVE SHOW EVER!
NOW.....
TH IS DEFINITELY THE BEST SHOW RECAP EVER!
THANK YOU PLEBE!
Thank you!
I believe the show was so interesting because real HA's were involved in the show. I won't say which episodes, but some of the action storylines were awfully familiar 🤔. Real life is stranger than fiction.
I love Gemma she was a badass and she took care of her family and family comes first. Always!!!
Dude, thank you for making this
Ya it’s funny how MC’s are mostly born out of Anarchy movements and we’ve all been lead to believe the meaning of Anarchy is chaos but it’s not. Anarchy can be trimmed down to just not giving to much power to government and or not making big government. Small, minimal government where citizens police each other fairly and choices are made democratically. A lot like how you see in the show … but the gavel corrupts
This show is truly great Charlie hunnam was brilliant as jax you are right the final season is the best kurt Sutter did a remarkable job
one of the badest things in the series is the end. it is so clear that it happens at so low speed, that the police cars almost stalls. they just follow him at snails pace. at anytime doing the chase they could have overtaken him. (the writing was good, the stunt work really bad )
Great review but how do you not mention the Mayans are the 1 9ersand that history and no mention of Happy are Unser two very important characters in the show
I think alot of ppl miss the point of this show. They say the characters are inconsistent for constantly talking about loyalty to the brotherhood before stabbing eachother in the back...but i think in the end thats the point. They're criminals....clay didnt make them rotten they were always hypocrites. The only ones who upheld the nobility of the brotherhood died at the hands of the people who sought to profit from their misplaced loyalty or ended up losing their way like jax
The theme of brotherhood being such a huge part of this show is to show its flaws and its benefits. But there are definitely benefits and a lot of the loyalty is remolded and reshaped.
The low hanging fruit comment about Jax is one of the best observations about the series as a whole.
This one long turn may be what makes this series unique. The viewer sees the long swirling downturn for seasons but it suddenly gets ripped away.
Great show !! I just saw it complete !! I loved the comments and reflection about the Show !! TIG RULES !!
How is the Mayans? And what about the new SOA First 9?
Amazing video man! What do you think of Mayans MC? Haven’t seen it personally
Haven't seen it yet. Plan on watching it and reviewing it this year.
Great video bro would love to see one on the walking dead
I still gotta watch it but it seems to be ranked very highly. I’ll give it a shot at some point.
I usually watch it maybe twice a year from start to finish, really binge watch it. It never gets old. "I GOT THIS" hurts every time. They did find a good replacement for Half-Sack in Rat & Filthy Phil I thing though
The “Plebe”, that’s a Sinaloa word. That’s were I’m at.
I loved the first few seasons of this show. But for me the moment this show died was when a certain character died in season 5. I won’t say to avoid spoilers but after that everything went down hill for me with this show. And I honestly couldn’t watch it again if I tried
SOA is one of the greatest series ever. The same as GOT, The Wire, BB, The Sopranos etc...
Agreed sons of anarchy is top ten for me
Re: Tara - My Man! Hell yes. Spoiler free comments ahead: Her best moment was in the bathroom with Jax. All downhill from there, with one exception. Sitting across from Gemma, giving her the strength she needed to just talk. Apart from that she was plot convenience girl, which made her dumb as hell, and it sucked.
Gotta live this life…
SOA Is An All Time Great Show!!! It got me into biking.
One of my top 5 favorite TV shows of all time
It’s easily top ten for me
love ur singing at the end!!
SOA is a fucking amazing program I love every episode but I agree with you that season 3 is the weakest but still good
also I think half sack had to go because he got into some serious trouble. Pretty sure at some point after the show he even kidnapped his girlfriend or something at gun point
This show could have been so much better if had payed attention to some of the small things and to answer you ? Yes clubs vote on things but criminal endeavors would never be voted on as they did in the show the members may be doing some shady shit but the club is a completely separate entity and is treated as such
The Sonswas the best show I ever watched. I have watched it 3 X and I’m watching it again. One season 4
