to The Wire, Breaking Bad & Justified? I loved The Wire because of the characters, Omar & Jimmy are 2 of the greatest characters in tv history, imo. I loved Breaking Bad because of the storyline, and Justified because of Raylon.

So, is Sons of Anarchy more of a character driven show? Great, consistent storyline? Both?

TIA

Great from start to finish. Not BB or The Wire, but overall superior to Justified.

I'll say this about SOA: when it's terrible (particularly the last 2 seasons), you can still hate-watch it and enjoy it for the lulz...

Do you like people with low raspy voices saying the words Jemma and Tara Alot?

If so, boy is this show for you.

You know how sometimes people will say to turn your brain off and enjoy what is on screen? Go ahead and lobotomize yourself if you're going to get into Sons of Anarchy.

SOA is one of those shows I only hear stupid people talk about so I have avoided it.

Am I wrong for that?

Not even close. I liked SOA early, but it got ridiculous.

Honestly, that's why I asked. Everyone that has talked about it to me at work, is umm, I umm, take their opinions very lightly. So yeah, I'm the same way

I only finished it because I had so much time invested in it. The three you named are much better.

If you believe there can be numerous massacres in a small California town without it becoming a national news story then this is the series you've been waiting for.

yeah if you feel the appropriate response to a new residential development in your town is a plan that leads to the death of 10-20 people, this is your show

Sons of Anarchy got too predictable and over the top at the end, but I still enjoyed it and it is still one of my favorite shows. I think you would like it too. However, after watching Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad 3 times, I now think Breaking Bad is better than Sons of Anarchy.
