9/10
Shocked at how much I enjoyed this show

Warning: Spoilers
For years, whenever I thought of this show, I just felt I wouldn't Iike it. Not a biker guy and a little turned off by Katy Segal and Ron Perlman. I finally gave in and boy was I shocked. I instantly cared so much about the people in it and watched the whole series in a couple weeks. 3 people made this show for me damn near perfect...Tara, Unser and Nero. I hated the way Tara was killed but I understood. Unser's death was interesting--he was terminal and the two women he ever loved (one as a daughter type that he vowed to protect and the other a woman he could never have) both did him in. Once he confirmed with Gemma she killed Tara he didn't want to live anymore anyways.

Jimmy Smits was awesome in this show as Nero. I just loved his character and the added touch of having a handicapped son added a layer to him that most in this show didn't have. Glad he was allowed to live.

Jax of course is the center point of the show and he holds his own. His love for Tara was real and I think he would have been fine just running away with her and the kids but that dang club kept pulling him back.

I think 7 season was perfect. Any more and it wouldn't be that believable that half these people are not dead yet.

I also loved the many actors that are in so many other shows I enjoy. Of course, The Shield but also Justified and Deadwood.
