WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,604 User: 88	So I've just started watching this as I needed something new to get in to. Anyone else watching? Does it get really really good at some point?

Season 3 wasn't well loved by everyone due to the story arc but I think that was mainly the US audience. It's probably my favourite season. Stick with it. I'm just about to start Season 6 tonight!

Season 2 was fantastic, Season 3 pretty mixed. I hated a lot of the Ireland scenes, and especially the opening credits! I think the bad guy in Charming just wasn't very menacing, especially not after Weston and Zorbell. Just finished episode 8 of Season 4 now with Piney's death. I'm assuming the pace and tension will only increase now.

Such a good show, it was awful when Pope burned Tig's daughter alive!

Mansonette Joined: 3 November 2009 Posts: 6,931 User: 9,872	Yeah. That scene is pretty grim. My girlfriend stopped watching the show after that although Gemma's rape nearly did that too. Creator Kurt Sutter (Otto) has said that it's all loosely based on Hamlet. Jax is the young Prince, haunted by his father (John) who was murderedy his brother (Clay) so he could marry the Kings wife (Gemma). There's more but don't look into it o much for risk of possible spoilers. I can barely wait for the (supposed) final season now. So much has to be resolved. There's also talk of a prequel show set around the formation of the club in the 60s. Not sure how I feel about that

I was watching it thinking 'gee'! And then later on they pain him in a good light helping the community. The ambiguous characters are always the best. Ah that makes sense now, they sure do like calling Jax the Prince! I reckon I'll be up to speed in about two weeks, if not a little longer. Season 4 was my favourite so far, and 5 has started off strong. If it carries on this way with the dangerous stakes then I'm sure I'll love the rest of 5 & Season 6.

It's really really good. I've just finished episode 10 of Season 6. 3 more episodes to go. I'm usually pretty good with guessing how things are going to plan out, because sometimes you can see the plot devices a mile away, but pretty stumped this time!!

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,604 User: 88	Anyone else watching the final season? I've found it a bit messy and longwinded, however it's all getting very interesting now. I don't think Jury was the rat either. Excited to see what they do now, can't be too long before Gemma & Juice's secret come out.

Mansonette Joined: 3 November 2009 Posts: 6,931 User: 9,872	I'm catching up on it now. I have 3 episodes to go and I'd definitely say the series is weaker without Tara. There's no conflict for Jax now and it's making it a bit less gripping. However it's still among the best shows around. I've just got to Abe's big reveal. Don't think Jax will believe him at first but I'm expecting a great finale.

WINTER IS COMING Joined: 7 March 2006 Posts: 45,604 User: 88	I enjoyed the series finale. You're in for a treat, the peak of the season is the penultimate episode. Only problem with this series is the episodes are just far too long! Is nice to see the homeless lady finally explained too!

I found the love, I found the love in me Pronouns: He/Him Joined: 13 December 2007 Posts: 87,452 User: 5,042	Currently watching this myself. Only on Season 1, but I'm really liking it. Some pretty horrible things have happened (the castration, tattoo removal etc..) but I somehow get the feeling they're not the worst of it! Just finished the episode where Jax finished off Tara's stalker. He was such a f***ing creep. Good riddance.

LOL not even close to the worst of things Jonjo, the worst thing happens in Season 5, not to spoil anything, but you will know when it happens! Good luck it's a great TV show, just make sure you stick with it when it goes a bit mad during the middle of Season 3.
