    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!

      They will stick to the same Hollywood tropes were every middle aged man is a burned out alcoholic. Literally every character over 50 in Hollywood.

    I watched a few episodes many years ago but it felt a lot like a biker gang soap opera.

        Except that was undone at the end and his dad was a dramatic knob.

      They also heavily sanitized what bikers are really about. They sold brotherhood, not pushing drugs to kids and pimping them out as children on drug debts.

      That’s literally what it is. It was loosely based on the hells angels, but it was first and foremost a drama/soap opera. It was a decent enough drama for a few seasons, in the same way that the old CW superhero dramas are extremely campy but can be fun if you don’t take them too seriously. My ex and I used to watch it to make fun of how seriously they took the biker stuff. The same way Supernatural fans constantly riff on the show’s cheesiness and camp.

      It is. Every solution is to open the back of a van and shoot out. Every bad guy was unstoppable until the remembered they could all go and shoot from the back of a van.

      Shooting only killed if you atually wanted them to.

      Sheridans best work though.

    Riding through this world….

    The show was a lot of fun for the first two seasons, but damn the intro was absolutely excellent.

    I also really loved some of the covers the show did.
