    The funniest thing about the show Sons of Anarchy is how they commit dozens of major federal crimes every episode so that each character can make about $45,000/yr annually. I'm not the first to point this out, but you'll never view the series the same way again once you realize this

    Kurt Sutter has since said he'd rethink the decision to cast a cis actor as a trans woman, but the character was still impressively authentic while avoiding the homophobic and transphobic tropes you might expect from a hyper-masculine show like Sons of Anarchy. Terfs can't claim Walton either.

    > On *Legends*, when the cast of *Sons of Anarchy* (who will all play themselves) reunites at a fan convention after more than a decade, the line between life and art blurs as the fractured brotherhood finds itself up against a real-world threat more dangerous than anything they ever faced in their show. I like the idea of bringing back the cast in an entirely different way!

    And they don't hug their bros to both cure their touch starvation & other men's. I remember in the series Sons of Anarchy there was a LOT of affection between the bikers & someone made the observation that it was "porn" for men but they had to be murderous bikers so it wasn't "gay."

    "Justified" is, for me, one of those true oddities — a piece of TOTALLY populist genre television that was never truly "popular." I'll never fully understand how "Sons of Anarchy," a show that had one good season, became an actual popular sensation, but "Justified" and "The Americans" were "niche."
