Kurt Sutter's FX biker series, says Matt Zoller Seitz, was "a show that you commit to watching for whatever reason and that often disappoints you or irritates you or makes you miserable, but that you can never quite bring yourself to leave, because every now and then, it'll do something so wonderfully surprising and right that you remember why you fell in love with it in the first place. Sutter and his writers, directors, and actors did that just often enough that I never stopped watching Sons, even though, as many others have noted, in later years, it became an example of the downside (perhaps) of FX's policy of granting artists free reign, content- and length-wise.” PLUS: “SOA” exits with a record 6.4 million viewers (http://deadline.com/2014/12/sons-of-anarchy-ratings-series-finale-fx-1201318807/), “SOA” should’ve been called "Contrivances of Plot" or "Montages of Eternity," (http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/12/10/sons_of_anarchy_finale_fx_series_brings_a_bloody_end_to_jax_and_the_rest.html?wpsrc=fol_tw) and “SOA” absolutely had to be over the top and Shakespearean (http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2014/dec/10/sons-of-anarchy-shakespeare-on-wheels).

I hated the ending. Jax and the Sons should have been slaughtered. They got away with everything and always came up on top. So unrealistic.

^ I thought they'd all get blown up by one of the rival gangs. They certainly deserved it and it would have made for a more exciting ending. And that chase scene at the end with all those cops following Jax reminded me of OJ Simpson's famous slow paced pursuit. Just what were they waiting for, him to run out of gas?:lol:
