No spoilers, but the only thing preventing me from a rewatch is knowing how it's going to end.
Do yourself a favor and watch the Ed Harris movie "Knightriders". In my heart of hearts, it's the source material for the entire show. And the ending is incredibly relevant.
One of the most disappointing endings for me, I enjoyed the show a ton but really hate how it wrapped up. After everything with Tara it feels like a downhill sprint to the finish. Plus poor Piney & Opie 🥺
More disappointing than Dexter?
America's favorite Lumberjack?
There was a lot of the restore the show I didn't care for either. So much of the conflict in it was just people blowing dumb shit out of proportion when they could have resolved it with a phone call.
That seemed to be a trend during that era of TV. The protagonist has a problem, spends the whole season solving that problem, and then discovers that they have created an even bigger problem in the season finale. Repeat until your show about "regular person in a tough situation" slowly turns into "person with barely enough luck to survive kills God"
I think shows that don't have an end in mind always devolve into their purest form
Like Suits, a great example of a show that just went past its life time. It eventually just became people barging into someone's office and yelling at then over something they misinterpreted, usually with some form of "oh here's a gotcha I also was doing stuff behind your back" only for the person they're yelling at to reveal it was either a lie/misinformation or hit them with a gotcha of their own, then they walk down the hall and get yelled at by some temporary character
You couldn't figure out how it was going to end from the first season? I thought the father gave it away...
Spoilers
Jax making a suicidal head-on collision with a semi? (and really poorly produced at that) What from the first season would tell me to expect that?
Not the specifics, but by the mysterious circumstances around his father's death as leader of the club which Jax is obviously destined to take over is foreshadowing.
