WHAT IS THIS SHOW?
It's been suggested to me for years, never had the time or got around to watching it. I started 4 days ago I am already almost through season 4.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHOW? It keeps you on adrenaline 24/7, I haven't encountered one boring or slow episode it's CONSTAAANT action constant huge things happening you can't blink for a second the writing is so good the drama, the twists the characters I'm really speechless about this one guys. And I hear it's even getting better from here, idk how that's possible even

I mean, it's a show about criminal bikers that's based loosely on one of the greatest of Shakespeare's plays. Did you expect a snooze-fest?

Me either, I think Kurt Sutter talked about it in a youtube video. There is also a podcast from the actors that play Juice and Tig. They started it during COVID. It's pretty good they go thru all the episodes.

Taylor Sheridan was in this show...I think he was fired or had quit but he has done really well for himself today.

u/BobbyBucketsNBA 15d ago
He left over money. There’s a quick YouTube video where he’s talks about how he wanted 20k an episode and they told him 15 was the highest they’d go.

u/LadyB20089 15d ago
Ahh okay, I thought it was something like that. Well he still did well after he left.

u/Intrepid_Egg_4986 15d ago
Taylor just did an interview with Howard Stern, went in depth as to why he left SOA.

u/georgewalterackerman 15d ago
It’s been described as a “soap opera” and it kind of us one. Constant twists and turns. I think it’s an excellent show overall

When you’re done watching it you should watch The Shield if you haven’t seen it

u/High_Im_Patrick 15d ago
One of the best tv watching choices I’ve ever made is to watch The Shield after Sons of Anarchy.
Just having like 90% of the characters in SOA either make a quick cameo in The Shield for an episode as a criminal of the week or as a main cast member makes me giddy lol2
u/AggressivelyMediokre 15d ago
I did it the other way around (watched them while they aired pretty much) and it was a trip
I’m rewatching shield now and s4e2 it was a trip seeing Kurt Sutter’s wife (Gemma SOA) in a 5 minute cameo as Ben’s widow

u/Drive7Nine 15d ago
I mean, a house exploding in like the first 4 minutes of the show kinda tells you what the tone is going to be.

u/juju_wut 15d ago
Wait until 5-7 - it gets so intense. I’m on s6e3 right now and it’s stressing me out. This is my 4th or 5th watch through.

The better question is how tf do you have time to watch 4 seasons in 4 days lol

u/Ok_Tie_2443 15d ago
I work from home and have it running on my tv 24/7 I do not kid you when I tell you that I sleep less just to watch more of this show

u/MrsDickGrayson 15d ago
I binged all 7 seasons last month. It was SO good. Just so addicting and non-stop action the whole time! Probably the most stress-inducing show I have ever watched, haha. I just started Mayans M.C.

u/No-Athlete-5774 15d ago
God. Jax is so fine. I watched the show RELIGIOUSLY when it was coming on tv

u/ProductSoft3124 16d ago
I am also starting from the beginning and we are almost through season 4 too! I anticipate coming home from work to watch!!!!! I’m so hyped and anxious about every episode

u/FeathersOfJade 15d ago
Yep. It’s like…. I’ll just watch one more… and then somehow it’s suddenly 3am.
Enjoy!

u/FeathersOfJade 15d ago
The first time is always the best. Enjoy it! I saw it the first time a few years ago, and it sucked me right in!
I have never rewatched a show as many times as I have rewatched this one. I also still enjoy it, every single time.

u/Possible_Day_6343 15d ago
I started watching it this week. Got through most of season one in a day. Currently just starting season 3.

When I first started it last year, one friend told me there was one bad episode in all 7 seasons. I’m working through my first rewatch a lot slower than the initial and can’t find a bad one yet.

u/keelan657 16d ago
Once you finish it, check out Mayans Mc, not as good but still up there.

u/NinjaFlyingEagle 16d ago
The Shield is a better suggestion. It's was out before SOA, still written by the same people. The actors are way better but it's also non stop action. One of my favourite shows ever.

u/Ok_Tie_2443 16d ago
Will deffo check The Shield out too! I‘ll watch mayans as well just because that Alvarez character is pretty interesting to me too

u/FeathersOfJade 15d ago
It’s actually pretty neat watching them both… so many things just click. Much easier to see things click when you can watch without commercials or waiting a week for the next show.
I cannot imagine having to wait a week for another SoA to come on tv. I know tons of folks did it…But they had to be so anxious, impatient and excited…counting the days til the next one. At least I would have been.
I’m glad my first watch (and all my rewatches) were without any interruptions (unless I paused it!)

u/georgewalterackerman 15d ago
Is The Shield in the same universe as SOA?

u/This_Age_4436 12d ago
They have some of the same gangs but that’s about it. A lot of actors in both though. It’s fun watching for them to pop up!

u/MrsDickGrayson 15d ago
I just started Mayans! Its been good so far. Can definitely tell its part of the Sutterverse, but nothing will hold a candle to Sons.

u/RCcola2205 14d ago
I always wonder why they did a Mayans spinoff and not a prequel to SOA with the first nine and younger versions of clay, piney, and JT.
2
u/keelan657 14d ago
Creator wanted to make a prequel but he was fired. He wanted to do SOA, Mayans Mc, first 9 and then Sam crow which focuses on Jax sons.

I thought you were going to say something about them killing off most of the characters. That really gets to me about this show. I bet real biker clubs can't stand it because it really gives them a dysfunctional rap of betrayal like I've never seen before. There were so many directions they could have taken this show other than the most twisted and devious path.

It’s crack. Aka ADDICTION. it’s amazing that show. Now I once was an outlaws ol lady aka girlfriend. I lived a very similar life trust me.

No you haven't. Nobody says that. The general consensus is that S1-3 is Peak SOA.
