This is my favorite new show in many, many years. It shouldn't be (I missed The Shield and The Wire), but I'm completely hooked. I know nothing about motorcycles, clubs, small town politics, or any of this.
But I love this show. I'm going to actually be depressed when the first season is done and I have to wait for Season 2.
It took a little to hook me but I'm 100% interested in this show now. Kurt Sutter is using the same great "How can they get out of this?!" tension that they used so well on The Shield.
I thought for sure that they advertised last night as the season finale. The previews for next week start out with "A special event"
I wonder if last nights was supposed to be the end if they didn't get picked up and once they did they filmed another episode to carry it into the next season.
I believe next week will be a 90 minute episode. I'm thrilled that I started this show, and doubly thrilled that it'll be back for another season at least. My favorite new show in many years.
