I think everyone can admit now (even the hardcore fanboys) that the show has been on a steady decline for some time now. I really enjoyed the show in its hayday and it was a welcome compensation for the absence of Breaking Bad in my life. I'm not sure what ruined the show, perhaps the absence of Clay? Opie? Or maybe the writing took a turn for the worse. I for one detested any episode featuring the transvestite Venus. The character was out of place and the actor was horrible at playing the part. Still, the writers persisted with it and it halved the gravitas of the show overnight. This last episode simply goes through the motions of everything you would expect to happen. No surprises, no twists just playing out a very predicable story and it does sadden me to an extent as Sons Of Anarchy has exuded flashes of brilliance on occasion. So how will the show be remembered? Hopefully fondly but not as one of the greats. The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, The Wire... these will all be remembered as classics but Sons of Anarchy will fall into the light entertainment category and be forgotten.
