Sons Of Anarchy: 20 Most WTF Moments
14. Jax's Final Confession
What happens at the end of the day? The bad guys lose. Sons Of Anarchy has always been fairly grey morally, even more so than contemporaries like Breaking Bad and Mad Men; the “heroes” of the show are unrepentant criminals, who have done some fairly heinous things in their time. They have a code, sure. They're still basically the bad guys.
It's just that most of the time, they had badder guys to contend with. What was possibly the most shocking moment of the show's series finale wasn't one of extreme violence or a crazy plot twist – although it had plenty of both – but Jax finally deciding to come clean to District Attorney Tyne Patterson, and admitting that SAMCRO were maybe not that nice.
Admitting to her and, indeed, the audience. He explained everything that had happened in that last season, before basically giving her an outline of all the people he was planning to kill after his confession, before promising that the violence in Stockton and Oakland was about to end. Jax actually taking the blame, and fessing up to the cops? WTF?
