Sons sixth season shocks - satisfies

Sons of Anarchy came blazing back last night in a 90-minute sixth season premiere that blew all the doors off. Creator Kurt Sutter is not a man who's afraid of shaking things up and rattling the cage. We were nearly 20 minutes into the mayhem before he even rolled the opening credits. Based on this first episode, we're in for a hell of a ride. The great Donal Logue is back and he's just killing it, messing with everybody. New addition Peter Weller promises to be a great new character - an ex cop turned gang boss who could either turn out to be an awesome ally or your worst nightmare. I'll try and stay a little vague for the benefit of those who've yet to see season five, but this looks to be a showcase year for Maggie Siff's Tara. Likewise, things aren't getting any easier for Tig. I lost count of "holy $hit" moments where something genuinely shocking happened - much of which I would be stunned by on HBO - FX has let Sutter off the chain, evidently the perk for delivering massive ratings and the most desirable of fan bases. If at some point you bailed on Sons (as I was tempted to) after their ham-fisted third season in Ireland, you owe it to yourself to get caught up, because they haven't had a misstep since. Can't wait to see where things go this year for the Charming lads - with talent like Logue and Weller in the mix, our beloved MC is in for one rough ride.
