copaupSons of Anarchy -- -yeah, or meh
Season 3 finale is anything but anticlimatic. It makes up for the slog that was the middle of the season and ties up a couple of multi season story arcs. Its my favorite episode of the series by far. And everything that happns after that is just Tig having a bad trip on mushrooms and dreaming it.

"Awesome" is not a word I would have ever used for the finale. I thought it was weak, at best.
I enjoyed the first few seasons as a man about the same age as the main character, also becoming a father for the first time and trying to make sense of my relationship with my old man. That was the hook for me. When it wasn't anymore, it was simply because I was far enough in that I wanted to see how it ended.
However, the last few seasons were a real slog, and I ended up not caring about really any of the characters anymore several seasons before the finale because I realized they were all horrible, shitty people who made horrible, shitty decisions at exactly every turn, and were at their best when they were doing horrible, shitty things to the people closest to them.
And, this is only so spoilerific, but I got real tired of the amount of man-on-man assrape that I had to witness seemingly every episode towards the end, sometimes several assrapes an episode. If someone had told me how much chuff-pounding I would have had to endure to make it through the show, I might've opted out at the start. JMO
Pretty much this.
Lots of pound me in the ass scenes near the end. Maybe the writer (also an actor, often getting assraped) liked it too much..?

squad13I enjoyed the show. It was like a soap opera for men that was very far fetched at times.
I will also tune in for the Spin Off, Mayans MC or whatever they will call it.

P220 SmudgeRhino, I was working through the show apace with a coworker and we would discuss the show during the day. We both concluded the same thing, given how many rape/brutality scenes the guy wrote himself and his wife into.

pulicordsNew drinking game:
1)Take a shot every time one of the characters says to another-"We have to weigh our options!!!"
2)Take a shot every time there's a Mexican standoff where one or more characters are pointing guns at each other but decide not to shoot after engaging in some idiotic dialogue.
Follow the above rules and I guarantee that everyone in the room will be blitzed before the end of the hour.

SigSauerP226I feel pretty much like most have already posted. Enjoyed it early on, but since I have to finish what I start, I just slogged through the rest. I don't know what seasons or episodes and all that, just remember losing interest later on.

Makes me wonder if Kurt Sutter is going to recycle SoA scripts for the Mayans or come back with something really original.

It's all good. Since SoA follows the plot of the original Hamlet, I would suspect that many of the main characters are killed off. It sounds like it just took so darn many seasons for the SoA story to be acted out.
Best line so far is when Gemma says, "These papers are like his father is speaking to him from the grave." Yes, Gemma, we get it. You don't need to remind us that these papers are the "ghost" from the original Hamlet.

I'll be very impressed if he bases the plot on another one of Shakespeare's works like Othello. That would rock.
