"After the break-neck pace of the first episode, which really does put the bow on the story that was told in the previous season, the rest of Season 4 releases the throttle a bit and carefully unpacks the drama that is a result of everything that has come before," says Charles Barfield. "Friendships are destroyed. Brotherhood is put to the test. Relationships are irreparably harmed. There are actual consequences to the years of bloodshed and violence the motorcycle club has inflicted on the world. And in those consequences, we’re shown new, deeper layers to each and every character, painting a more colorful, meaningful picture than you would ever think is possible in a show about tattooed biker guys who love to drink and party. Almost every bit of the carefree, silliness that (Kurt) Sutter loved to inject into the series when things would get a bit too dark is gone now. Elgin James asks the viewer to not only witness horrors caused by the same 'heroes' you were trained to root for, but his writing and direction forces you to sit in it and live it. There are truly tragic moments that will cut you to your soul. Relationships you have watched for dozens of episodes are crumbling before your eyes, and the show doesn’t breeze by during moments, offering you respite before things get too emotional. You sit there in the silence. You watch the tears, you hear the cries, and you feel the anger."
