Best show on television! Supernatural has become stale and Sons of Anarchy is a fresh show with fresh ideas. The episode is about the Sons of Anarchy is at war with their biker rivals Mayans. In order to save their gun running operation, the Sons now need a new place to locate their weapons storage in Nevada. The only way to survive is to patch over the affiliate club as a full chapter member of the Son's in their fight with the Mayans. What I read about biker gangs is close to real life with what happens at patch over clubs, and what happens at club meetings. Well acted and directed the episode is exciting to watch. I give Patch Over eight out of ten! T V worth watch. Time well wasted!

A good episode! The Sons of Anarchy are on the look out for a child rapist. There is a race between the cops and the biker gang to find the perpetrator first. Regrettably for the rapist, the bikers find him and the dad gets his revenge. The millionaire dad is now in the bikers gang's pocket for they have leverage on him. The story is good, with believable acting and fast pace directing. I do think the Sons would have beat up the circus staff worse in real life. This episode is a building episode for the series. The Sons will be using the millionaire with their new leverage, and want him not to develop Charming California. If Charming goes Disney and grows the bike game will not be able to operate is the leaders thinking. I give Fun Town an eight out of ten.

Another good episode! Sons of Anarchy is well directed, well acted and filmed in movie budget quality. Seeds storyline has the protagonist face a problem which must be solved. The bikers must remove some bodies from their warehouse fire before the authorities find out and bring heat via the A T F on the gang. This episode shows how corruption, and biker experience help solve law enforcement problems. Sons of Anarchy is gritty and rough which creates a real life feel. I find watching a show with a big budget, and character development much more interesting than reality t v and sitcoms. Maybe, the dumbing down of t v has ended. I give Sons of Anarchy episode seeds eight out 10. One of the better shows on the tube!

This single episode sums up the entire show, gang wars, bike journeys and brawls. Truly one of the greatest shows of all time. The acting in this program is phenomenal. I wasn't expecting much from Katey Segal if I'm honest, because after her comedy roll in 8 SIMPLE RULES, i didn't think she could have pulled of the whole drama thing, but i was pleasantly surprised with a hard-hitting, Golden Globe winning performance. Charlie Hunnam plays the vice president of a biker gang, a part which was brilliantly written. My Favourite character, CHIBS, played by Tommy Flanagan, is a hilarious part well casted. Not forgetting Ron Pearlman's worryingly convincing roll as the gangs president. So a good opening for a good show.
