Sons Of Anarchy: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best

7. Season Seven

The strongest aspect of Sons of Anarchy's final season was the ever-brilliant performance of Charlie Hunnam, who plays the end of Jax Teller's tragic, messy and winding story exactly as was expected.

Unfortunately, the season he had to work with wasn't willing to reach his level. Creator Kurt Sutter had no issue making each episode an hour plus of slogging, meandering character interactions and contrived subplots that led to the backend of nowhere, and rather than focusing more on the emotional relationship between Jax and Gemma, the season instead went all-out, offering death after death and violent clash after violent clash, until every major demise and twist began to lose its effect.

Amongst the season's biggest sins remains the complicated villain subplot with August Marks, the seemingly never-ending and unnecessarily dark tale of former comic relief Juice, and the anti-climatic deaths of Bobby Munson and Wayne Unser.

The season has its moments, including some short-lived character moments between Jax and his mother, and Jax and the rest of the crew, but thanks to its dodgy pacing, bizarre religious metaphors and somehow underwhelming conclusion, it doesn't even begin to live up to the strengths of the rest of the show.
