I’m man enough to admit I’ve shed a tear or 10000 with that show. |

I've been watching several series (that didn't make it) on HULU. Some interesting stuff including Chance with Hugh Laurie of House fame. Although Hugh Laurie is again an MD, it also features a very interesting and thoughtful role for Ethan Suplee who's usually typecast as a big dumb guy. Recent pix of him indicate that future roles will probably be as a big tough guy. Although the show only lasted two seasons, it's a great study on good vs. evil...

One of the best things about Sons of Anarchy is the music

Boy you can say that in spades the music supervisor did an excellent of getting the prosody of the video and music.
The death of Opie was a pivotal point in the story. and I have included this song in my personal set list rotation

Good discussion here. I started SOA once and didn't get too far because I was disgusted by all the machismo posturing. Started watching it again later and ended up watching all the way through. Long series but in the end very well done character studies. Gemma was the biggest gangster of them all!
Agree that the music was excellent. I have the SOA playlist on my phone. Also agree with the comment about This Is Us - great show and a tearjerker.

Agree on their excellent choice of music. This version of Forever Young blew me away. We actually used to perform this version at open mics. I'd hit a note to give her (wife,vocals) the start and she'd begin and the place would just go from noisy to instantly, completely silent.

While look and feel of series is very much the flavor life in rural and small town Wyoming, like SOA, more crime takes place in three episodes than in three years in Wyoming.

It’s funny you mentioned the more crime part. I’ve worked in LE for 27 years this month and haven’t seen a 1/10 of the murders Ole Walt had to deal with. I still enjoyed it thoroughly!

I watched the show all the way through, but I have to say the last two or three seasons had the flavor of watching a train wreck in slow motion.
Great performances by most of the actors, particularly Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal, Kim Coates and Tommy Flanagan. The show did a good job of showing the gray areas of life, with most of the Law Enforcement characters being as flawed as the bikers. I frankly cheered when Opie killed Agent Stahl, as she was as nasty and corrupt as the worst of the bad guys. I did not like the final episode. Given all the carnage and grief Jax had caused in the lead up to the end (most of it un-necessary and based on false premises), I really wanted him to face justice in some way, whether that was through the legal system, at the hands of enemies or at the hands of his own club. Having him choose to commit suicide (and traumatizing that poor trucker in the process) just didn't cut the mustard for me. It felt like he was going out on his own terms, which he frankly didn't deserve.
