Been waiting on that one. Looks like it's going to be a fun season.

The darker and more complicated life gets for the Sons, the better the TV show tends to be. And based on the four episodes I’ve seen, “Sons” is still at the incredible level it achieved a year ago, when it became one of the best dramas on television. (The only others that are in the discussion with it for the top spot are “Mad Men” and “Breaking Bad.”)
Sutter designed the second season in part as a showcase for wife Sagal, who soared in a story arc about tough old lady Gemma being raped and trying to keep it a secret for the good of Jax, her man Clay (Ron Perlman) and the club. The new season, meanwhile, is very much a star turn for Hunnam, who finds new depths of sorrow and rage as Jax goes looking for his son. Hunnam took a while to grow into the role - in part because Sutter needed time to figure out how to write for him, in part because of the American accent - but he owns it now, with both depth and swagger that let him command the screen no matter who he’s put opposite.

"Sons of Anarchy" is precisely the kind of show viewers expect to find on FX. Now entering its third season, the story of an outlaw motorcycle club is FX's signature series and one whose fan base is as rabid as they come. Shamefully snubbed for Emmy nominations, "Sons of Anarchy" is one of the elite shows on television with its brand of "adrenalized drama with darkly comedic undertones," as the channel astutely notes.
"Sons of Anarchy" remains as bare-knuckled and, almost inconceivably, as funny and crass as ever. And it doesn't take Season 3 very long to ratchet up the twists, so don't miss a minute of it tonight.

I will say this, hands-down: The best hour of television you will see during the fall premiere onslaught is the third-season opener of FX’s Sons of Anarchy. If the first two seasons had never aired, this would be the best pilot of the fall. And it’s mainly because of the last act. If the Emmys had an award for best scene, the end of the episode would lock up the statue before the season even began.
