9/10
This was no Donna!

Warning: Spoilers
In season one club wife Donna (Sprague Graydon) was murdered by the club itself in case of mistaken identity. It was early days and we had no idea that the writers were going to be so footloose with killing off key characters. Certainly if you get a part on Sons on Anarchy, you shouldn't take out a mortgage because there is no guarantee how long you will be working for.

That death, like the death of Opie (Ryan Hurst), Piney (William Lucking) and Tara (Maggie Siff) were shocking and heart breaking. And we as fans lapped it up. The death of Bobby (Mark Boone Junior) was predictable and mostly emotionless. I thought the character deserved better.

Still it was a good show. Chibbs (Tommy Flanagan) was told to keep the new Sheriff Jarry close but "not too close". Perhaps he misunderstood that direction? There was some romantic advice. Ratboy (Nico Nictera) yelled at Brooke (Hayley McFarland) but after some choice words from Gemma (Katey Segal) "When it comes to finding a good old lady, you don't get what you want, you get what you are," he apologized and told her he loved her.

Gemma remained out of control accusing the police sheriff of all types of corruption and then decking her while Nero looked on in resignation. "I'm glad that went well," he said.

The Sons also got payback in a very clever move that should be entitled "How to hand over a dead body without handing over a dead body." Interestingly, there was no music! I wasn't disappointed. It remains the unique show on television.

We need to watch out for Brooke though!
