Over the past few
weeks, due to a variety of reasons – mostly illness, grad school, and grading –
I’ve been unable to keep up with Sons of Anarchy as originally promised. As the weeks wore on, it became harder and
harder to catch up. In order to make up for this, and to save myself a whole
lot of time that I don’t really have to spare, I present to you a review of the
show’s fourth season, albeit two weeks after the fact.
As I’ve said many times since the season premiered back
in September, the fourth season of Sons
of Anarchy was going to be a pivotal one for the show, a time to see if it
could recover from the miscalculation of season three, and more importantly
provide a solid way forward so that the show wouldn’t make a misstep like that
again. Unfortunately, I found that even as the show did succeed on the latter
challenge, it wasn’t as able to accomplish the former.
