It's good that Sons of Anarchy has pointed itself more clearly in the direction of an end game, as narrative wheel-spinning doesn't serve the show well.

Sutter knows how to conceive inconceivable violence, and while it's fair to question whether or not such disgusting ideas are just cultural poison, one can't argue that he ignores the consequences of each act.

Feels longer than six seasons of Lost with only a sliver of that 'Mystery Box' show's cohesiveness. The actors gamely sally forth but they, like us, are getting nowhere.

Largely feels cut from the cloth of the neorealists...[a] compelling dramatization of the strain the American economy puts on the indebted class of gig workers, and the lengths people may find themselves going to in the face of dwindling options.
