Totally ludicrous, music is great, very entertaining. The theme song is like fingernails on a chalkboard. That is all.

Man, that Jax Teller sure had to make a lot of tough choices. Balancing the future of his young family against the needs of the club sure took a toll on him.

I kinda enjoyed most of SOA the first time through but I have tried a rewatch twice and didn't make it through the first episode.

One of my all time favorites. Only down season was when they went to that foreign country looking for Jax’s kid. Outside of that I loved everything about the show.

SoA and Kingdom are I’m the same class of great TV.

Unless you are a female there is no reason to ever watch this show.

Funny you started this, I finished the last episode this morning. I was not surprised at all how it ended, I could see it a mile away. I was ready for it to be over, kinda dragged out towards the end. Overall, a good show that I enjoyed. Crazy how they just go around killing countless people with no repercussions though .

I forget what the theme is

I liked it until they went to Ireland, got boring to me after that

I expected most responses to this thread.

I hate watched this series a few years ago. 2020 seems the appropriate time for a re-watch. It's no masterpiece, but it is damned entertaining.

I had heard that Sutter had an idea for a show called FIRST SEVEN which chronicles the original 7 members as they came back from Vietnam and struggled to fit into society

I watched the first few seasons for all the right reasons (although s3 was pretty weak...but the season finale with that annoying FBI agent was pretty damn satisfying, I'll admit that), but I ended up watching it for all the wrong reasons.

The longer the show went on, the more it seemed like Kurt Sutter was writing solely by memory, and the more obvious it was that Shawn Ryan's presence was necessary to save The Shield from being a shitshow.

When I watched a bit of it back when it was on I felt that it was borderline silly.

Now when I look back on it I find it to be completely silly.

Also, Lyla had to be the hottest on the show...

This show is Exhibit A about what's wrong with the television industry.

They frame the show as one thing and Season 1 gets you hooked.

But forget Season 1, that's a mirage.

They don't tell you that after Season 1 the writers have no ideas and the show will quickly become a massive cheesy soap opera.

This is the fate of a lot of shows. Season 1 great, Season 2 - meh, but okay, Season 3 (am I watching Days of Our Lives?); Season 4 (I am watching Days of Our Lives.)

SOA went to shite so fast after Season 1. That Ireland trip? What the frick was that?

Couldn't stand that kid - the character or the actor. Watched the pilot and that was it.

And I should have been in the target audience - I was #TeamShield after all and a fan of what Sutter had done on that show.
