Synopsis: The day-to-day life of the motorcycle club and gang of outlaws known as the Sons of Anarchy in the small town of Charming, California. On top of having the solve the internal conflicts that arose in season one, the Sons now also have to confront the face of a new kind of foe in their home town.
Review: At the end of the first season I was wondering two things: how could the Sons stay united for long after what happened, and how could the creators of the Series keep the same level of tension and interest. Well, season two cleverly and succesfully  answered my questions. The story (including new characters) is at least as addictive as the one of the first season. The secondary characters of the gang (especially the ones played by Coates and Flanagan) are more developped and we learn more of their back-story. The hopes of Jax to follow in his father's footsteps continue to be expressed but have to be put aside at some point for a more important business.
I was a bit dissapointed by the ending but it was still pretty good.
Rating: 7 /10
