About Sons of Anarchy

Sons of Anarchy is an American crime drama created by Kurt Sutter that aired on FX from 2008 to 2014. Loosely inspired by Hamlet, it follows Jax Teller, a member of an outlaw motorcycle club in the fictional town of Charming, California, as he is torn between the violent legacy of the club and a dream of leading it toward something better.

Blending brutal action, operatic family tragedy, and a soundtrack-driven sense of Americana, the series built a fiercely loyal fanbase around its tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of the outlaw life. Its ensemble — anchored by Jax, the matriarch Gemma, and patriarch Clay — drives a sprawling Shakespearean saga.

One of FX's biggest hits, Sons of Anarchy ran for seven seasons and remains a touchstone of the modern crime-tragedy genre.
