    Sons of Anarchy

    It’s basically a soap opera. Over the top and with no real direction. The writers were pretty much making it as they go using all the old tricks to keep you hooked.

    I watched it until season 2. Before I started watching the season finale I realized I didn’t care how it ended and just dump it.

      Kept with SoA until I tired of the “3 concurrent life-or-death crises” formula, with a new life-or-death crisis introduced each time an older one reached its end.

      All principal characters even went to prison for a year, with no such crises for the rest of the MC, and then as soon as they got out, straight back to “3 concurrent life-or-death crises” as usual.

      The rest of the MC should have realized “Hey, things were so chill when those guys were away, let’s get 'em sent back”.

      I remember watching that show because people told me it’s good. I was kinda hooked in the first season, then i started to realise that everyone who told me the show was good, was coincidentally a woman. For some reason on youtube a video popped up that said: the ending of sons of anarchy is hilarious. So i watched it and i had to laugh so hard i could never go back to watch it.
