Sons Of Anarchy: 10 Most Hated Episodes
9. Fun Town (S1E3)
From the very beginning of the series, it became apparent just how important the Sons of Anarchy were to the town of Charming. The people trusted them more than their own police force, and when a young girl was raped at a carnival, the Sons were charged with finding out who did it, and carrying out the relevant justice.
It was a vulgar storyline to begin with, and was almost too much for some viewers in just the third episode of the entire series. However, it arguably got even worse after Clay and Jax found their culprit.
Originally, Elliott was going to castrate the man who abused his daughter, but his morals and ethics ultimately got in the way. That didn't stop the Sons however, and where Elliott backed away, they stepped up and punished the rapist in a manner most people would never have even dreamed of.
No one is claiming sympathy for the guilty man, but a story that lacked any kind of class to begin with was ultimately finished off by the supposed good guys mutilating someone. And doing it with a smile on their faces, no less. Were these who audiences were going to have to root for? They didn't exactly make it easy to begin with.
