Sons of Anarchy brought us into the world of outlaw biker gangs, as we followed the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original (SAMCRO) through seven seasons as they tried to avoid the police, battled with the Mayans, and fought amongst themselves, all in the name of the club.
The series, set in the fictional town of Charming, California, was FX’s highest rated show, with the season four and five premiers being the two highest rated telecasts in FX’s history. Kurt Sutter created so many characters for the story that it would take a SAMCRO expert to remember them all and their significance to the story. With multiple charters, such as Indian Hills, Belfast, Tuscon and the Nomads, to rival gangs such as the Niners, the Triad and the Arian Brotherhood, the show had an extensive list of characters that you grew close to and hoped wouldn’t get killed off. But in the world of outlaw bikers, nothing was ever safe, as the series got more violent as it went on and by the end, it didn’t seem like anyone would survive.
