Overview
Sons of Anarchy is an American action crime drama television series created by Kurt Sutter for FX. The show originally aired from September 3, 2008, to December 9, 2014, and follows the lives of a close-knit outlaw motorcycle club operating in Charming, a fictional town in California's Central Valley. The series centers on the original and founding charter of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club, Redwood Original, often referred to as SAMCRO, Sam Crow, or simply Redwood Charter. This charter runs both legal and illegal businesses, including a garage, gun-running operations, and involvement in the porn film industry. The club's internal dynamics include tensions between Clay, the charter president who favors traditional and violent methods, and Jax, his stepson and the club's vice president, who contemplates change. The series explores themes of loyalty, family, and morality within the outlaw motorcycle club culture. It was developed by Kurt Sutter and stars Charlie Hunnam, Katey Sagal, Mark Boone Junior, and Kim Coates.
