Why SONS OF ANARCHY Was So Problematic 

Juice's character arc and death was one of the hardest arcs/deaths in TV for me. So glad that Tig and Chibs made it through.

Kim Coates gave an award worthy performance as Tig. The character arc... the acting... the commitment to the role.

Met Theo, Ron, and Charlie at FanX this year. Ron was how you’d expect him to be; very reserved but still respectful. Charlie had so many people rallying around him and yet he kept such the best attitude and was so sweet within the 20 seconds I met him. Theo was so engaging and such a sweetheart, mentioned that him and Kim had just gotten done watching SOA together for the first time. Best show watching growing up as I was basically my own kind of Abel. My parents were part of a club and I was sheltered from a lot than I realized. This show hits home.

I was for real bummed for a few days after that scene with Opie.

Katie segal is probably the best actress ever... me and my girl hated her so much... yet we loved her. What a great show.

still re-watch the entire series time to time

One of my favorite shows of all time!! and every one of y'all kicked ass... as a matter of fact everyone who acted in SOA did a hell of a job!! I loved it from beginning to end...

SOA is one of my top 5 favorite shows of all time. Great acting. Great writing. The 'Brotherhood' between these guys was CLEARLY apparent. I am and Sons of Anarchy fan for life. Kudos to the cast and crew.

When Theo talked about being together so intensely for 8 years, it reminded me that an actor I worked with (I'm a retired audio book producer), once said that working on a long series is like being at high school, again - a whole lot of people who mostly don't know each other, and/or haven't chosen to be with each other, coming to the same place, every day, for years, but even more intense because every individual there is responsible for everyone getting good grades on a single, enormously complicated group project! 😂 All the dynamics play out: the main cast are the good looking, (seemingly) confident kids, around which everything circles; guest actors and new actors have to learn to fit in like new kids do; the A/V club kids and the theatre tech kids are the techies and props people but with more confidence because it's their career, now; the directors and producers are the teaching staff who you may or may not like but you have to take direction from; and if it's a generational series like a soap (she was specifically talking about "Neighbours"), within the stable cast there will even be age and experience based groups, just like year levels.

Last boy scout is one of those underrated gems imo

Opie death killed me I cried hard very few times on a show it was like he was my brother

This show was meant for a certain audience. But yet so many people fell in love with the characters. And yes Ron, Charlie were the main character but everyone loved all the other characters. Great show. Thanks for that

There’s a lot of fans, don’t get me wrong but there’s still a lot of people that haven’t watched the show which is crazy! Everyone that I talk about shows with, I tell them it’s a must watch. These guys were all so great and I miss this show.

If you ever worked with great people this is what it sounds like. I love that they didn’t just make a great show for all of us but they formed genuine and authentic relationships. A lesson for all of us in future jobs! God bless you guys! The money and fame must be phenomenal but the friendships are priceless. Thank you for your work and the examples you set of supporting your peers! ❤

My favorite scene with Chibbs was the scene in the school bus before Opie offs the Special Investigator and Chibbs is holding a Juice box of Jameson. Classic Irish humor.

Tommy Flannigan is the coolest looking dude

8:27 *I SAW A INTERVIEW CHARLIE DID & HE SAID "FOR 7 YRS STRAIGHT, I NEVER DROVE A CAR, I RODE A MOTORCYCLE EVERYWHERE.....NOT JUST TO WORK, BUT NEVER DROVE A 4 WHEELED VEH & WAS SO STRANGE TO DRIVE AGAIN AFTER 7 YRS!!!", THATS DEDICATION TO UR PART IN A SHOW.*

Kim Coates is my fave on SOA, and I adored how they treated his relationship with Venus.

3:39 that's probably because of people like me who spent years putting off watching even though we had tons of friends who said "You gotta watch it!". When I finally relented I was hooked. I've met several folks with similar stories.

This was awesome!! I bet talking to all them was a amazing experience. I've read stories about how some cast members lied about knowing how to ride, but when Kim says it, it's so much more funnier!!

Shield was hella underrated. Glad to see theo acknowledge it.

Loved the first few season of this show. Great editing, great interviews 👌

Great just finished I enjoy every minute of it 👍

I’m afraid of heights. One year, my father-in-law needed help mending squirrel damage on the second storie roof of his home. The only thing that got me through it was singing the theme song for SOA to myself the entire time.

Never thought I would like a show about motorcycle gangs 😮. ❤it. Great characters. Excellent casting.

SOA is my all time favourite show. Watched it through like 7 times, never gets tired of it. Thanks for an amazing show guys. I hope samcro will return at some point in the future

That show was when I realized the brilliance of Walton Goggins

EASILY one of my favorite shows of all time 🖤🖤 miss it so much.

Great show tried to watch it years ago on Netflix and did not get past the second episode. During the first covid lockdown me and my girlfriend went through the whole show in like 1 week or something loved it.

Opie was so important and when left- it was almost incomprehensible and acceptable. Great show! Up with Sopranos

Crazy how they all look younger now than on the show! Tells you how hardcore it was to shoot!!😮🤣

I don’t know if I would ever Re-watch SOA. You have to watch it ONCE to appreciate the show.

These interviews are amazing.

People do not understand when u been through a brotherhood an then it’s gone wether it’s bikers or war ! It grows a hole in your heart that u got to fill up when it’s gone !!!

Is this where you got the idea for Talkville? cause if so that is incredible and I love it! I am all caught up with Talkville and watch every Wednesay and now I gotta watch all of Reaper Review my goodness.

I’m literally rewatching Sons as I came across this

I wish I could watch it for the first time all over again! 🙌🏻

Absolutely the best show ever. This cast could not have been better. It will never happen again, heartbreaking and sweet😊

I categorize SoA with shows like Band of Brothers.. The brotherhood for me is something so special that I can relate to in real life.

Of course David Labrava knew how to ride

The fact that Tommy Flanagan has never actually seen SOA, is kinda funny to me.

pushing the boundaries of whats acceptable on tv but ultimately using it as a necessary piece vital to the story and tragic roller coaster that show and its characters went through. Its a cautionary tale lol

I enjoyed the first couple of seasons but I did felt a major decline after the 5th season. I think they were missing the point of show and kept the show going just because.

Ive seen all the movies Tig was talking about and recently. And still only recognize him from Sons 😳

Breaking bad and sons of anarchy were good times. I’ve binge watch both every few years.

This show has been on the back burner for me for quite some time now. I'm gonna watch it now, and really start cooking it.

It was one of the only shows that me and my dad and my brother and even my oldest sister would sit down and watch every new episode on TV we never did that especially after Netflix had come out and it was amazing it was a great show of course if you knew what it was based off of you knew exactly how the ending of the story was going to be it was just how were we going to get there.

Took a while to get going, but SOA really found something special.

Ron Perlman is my guy. Such a good voice.

Tig still looks like he filmed the last episode yesterday lol

Kim Coates is such an awesome and sweet man.

Such a great show! I even got into the Mayans show as well

I think they could easily do it again. Making a prequel. "First 9", maybe when Jax was prospecting / coming up. I mean they have plenty of options for things they could do with the show.

Love these guys

The talent these 3 have! Ron Pearlman has had some bad@$$ movies the last couple years...u notice how many of these SOA and Mayans MC characters are in new movies/shows ?! Love it all🤘🛵

Met Ron, not cranky at all, very down to earth, meeting Theo and Ryan next march

Hmm… pretty odd choice in title tbh. Definitely threw me off and video was completely different than I was expecting from the title… the title lead me to believe it (filming/making the show) was really bad experience behind the scenes.

one of my favorite shows of all times. I think I got about 15 friends to get into it as well. one night my wife watched it, then the next day, she was acting like Gemma. lol. Great show from beginning to end

Every character arc in that show is legendary, stays in your soul forever.

i met mark boone and tommy flanagan last year it was sooo surreal

One of my favourite shows of all time, just finished it the other day for the second time. Love these guys

No way charlie was brilliant in sons , and 99% of people had tears in their eyes when it ended, but everyone of them guys made sons so fucking good

Love it as a kid now have my own bike just finished rewatching it still just as good

I like how Kim said Ron Pearlman was cranky on set 😂 I remember reading him and Kurt Sutter, the show runner, had beef towards the end lol

Juice is my favorite character...he was in Jericho too.

I feel like a piece of me died when this show ended

Watch the show Bad Blood if you wanna see Kim Coates in his glory 👍🏻👍🏻

When asked if it was emotionally drainin for the actors,it HAD to be because as a fan just watchin was stress-inducing! Like u know it's a show n still get swept up in the emotion!😩

The Last Boy Scout Boooyyyaaaa Babbbbyyy! Never forgot his character.

Sounds like Sons of Anarchy wasn't problematic at all. Sounds like making it was mostly great, with the occasional injury.

Sons was legit one of the GOATed shows

Hi, i understand what he was saying. I remember a job I had and a place that I lived that only when I moved to a different job and location did I recognised how stressful a situation it had been. When you are in it it can be difficult to see it.

It was such an incredible show. I hope that Charlie Hunan can put together the reprise of Jax Teller and include these guys!

Love Theo especially in these interviews wow. Clearly so much love and appreciation for the experience even despite the real challenges he described. Mad respect for him, his performance as Juice was layered and evolved

1:16 wasn't Kim Coates Character on Sons of Anarchy I forgot didn't his Character Swing for the Same Team him and Walter Scoggins Characters on the Series?! And it's Real Rare for me to an interview With Kim Coates not in Villain Persona he seems like a real great Guy Still remember him from last Boy Scout 1991 alongside Bruce Willis as the Antagonist?! Aw K Coates is a Sincere Class act totally different from the Roles he plays wow it's amazing really!🤔😳👍🏽😃

I loved it & miss it!

Smallville and SOA were great shows salute to y’all

Must give that other watch it was really awesome!

I likey SOA the first play thru. I made the mistake of rewatching it and jax's character killed it for me.

I can see why the sixth and final seasons were grueling. It was pretty intense from a viewer vantage point, so Im sure it was hard on the cast and crew.

Agree I've watched all seasons a few times over. Show was the absolute best, my opinion! Not enough words to express.❤

My wife still hates Jemma and she cries when we bring up Opie 😥

I loved SOA. It was nonsense, but so entertaining.

Best TV show of all time!

Good show

Casting, writing, acting- all superb. An expression of excellence in storytelling. Mayan spin-off works well too.

3:11 exactly Juice. Mayans is the living example of this statement!❤️

I would love to see la brava come on

The only issue I have with SoA was how they replaced "Fuck" with "Jesus Christ". It was absurd. Mayans is so much better with "Fucks".

Sons is a fucking masterpiece

4:30 "being tense" 7:00 tight schedule (always in character

Kim Coates feels like my long lost cousin or something-cranky, loves everyone he works with, herds all the cats, and always makes sure safety comes first (unlike Stockton Rush, whom, as memes will now forever say, always made sure that safety came fifth…or sixth…or seventh…allegedly-my opinion, etc.)

The Wire and Sons , I personally think are the two greatest tv series of all time. People talk Thrones , TWD or Breaking Bad and none of them come close to THAT scene with CLAY or OPEY. Maybe cos I like metal, bikes and whisky but something about this cast was perfection to me. I loved and hated all which made it so great.

smallville and sons are the two best shows in tv history

Kim was my favorite, amazing actor in everything he does

There is nothing to like about Ron Perlman's politics.

criminally underrated show.

I didn’t recognize Theo with hair for about 15 seconds. Then it clicked.

It’s a good show. Highly recommend it!

Eu amo sons anarchy já assisti seis vezes e vou assistir pela sétima vez sou muito fã ❤❤❤
