I haven't watched SOA... But I quit watching violent TV after I saw Sponge Bob kill Patrick with a claw hammer...

You are right. Sopranos is superior on several levels
The homeless girl represented the grim reaper which was their logo. I rewatched the very first episode and it started with 2 crows on the road eating a piece of bread right before Jax rode by. After the ending I assumed it was I580 where Jax’s father was killed and the crows represented he and his father. And remember Gemma had crows as pets.
The crows were also part of their logo. I actually GOT the symbolism.
Thanks for clearing that up. I got the crows part, but even though we watched the whole series, I had forgotten the beginning. When you get old that happens,.....a lot!
Started off ok....but the show became a cartoon.
I had forgotten too but my excuse is 7 years is a long time. lol
I actually started watching the series again simply because there is not one of the shows I watch on right now.
Ah! Well take makes sense. I know we watched it from the beginning, but you’re right that was a long time ago.
Thanks for posting this thread. I was almost gonna start binge-watching SOA in Netflix. Kinda glad I didn’t invest the time.
The replies on this thread tell me I would have liked much of the series, maybe even most of it. But there are better alternatives.
So what am I watching? Call the Midwife. My wife said; “You do know this is a chick flick series, right”?
And it is, but apart from all the screaming labor scenes in every show, there is good acting - good drama.
But if you like immoral behavior and violent biker and drug gangs with no redeeming themes and the worst of the worst on display, this is the series for you!
I’ve tried netflix but couldn’t find any movies I liked and the ones I did, they didn’t have them so I gave up before I even ordered one
Well Brent, there are only just so many episodes of “Matlock”.
I rarely watch movies on Netflix, but its GREAT for TV series.
You don’t know how much better any TV show is unless you watch it without the annoying, stupid, insulting, boring and stupid (yes I meant to use stupid twice) commericials.
I thihk I'll pass. I never watched the TV series "24" and all of those are on Netflicks too so I think I check that out.
I'm kinda fond of Sleepy Hollow though
Three series -- all superior to "Sons of Anarchy" -- that you should watch: Justified, The Shield, and The Americans.
I hate commercials and if they think ads will make me buy their stuff they are greatly mistaken. I admit there are some ads that are quite entertaining. One comes especially to my mind. It’s one for Progressive soup and it shows her with a can phone and she says to the Progressive soup cooks “I’m watching you stew people”
Yeah...and Andy Griffith was a diehard RAT!
‘Bout time for Old Country Buffet to open somewhere...
So did I. It wasn't that bad then, but it felt like it was nothing more than a nighttime soap with guns and bikes instead of mansions and limos.

I missed out on how Juice got in the bad graces of the SOA. Can you fill me in? It must have been really bad breach of the brotherhood mentality.
I predicted that Jax would kill himself on the cycle on the same stretch of road where his father died in a cycle crash. I knew he had to die for atonement for his sins and that seemed to be the only way he would do it.
