Sam finally gets out from the prison. The first thing he does is to reunite with his family once more. Meanwhile, he confronts new Charming law enforcement. The work goes in danger when a piece goes missing from SAMCRO. Season four of the crime and dramatic series Sons Of Anarchy.
The fourth starts out a little slowly, as though it's taking a deep and much-needed breath after the third's wildly operatic conclusion. But the pace quickens soon enough. Anarchists will be hooked.
If the start of the season feels formulaic, it's a formula that's worked in the past, and one that gives very good material to key members of the ensemble.
Tuesday's season premiere resets the story in a way that should be satisfying to long-time fans while introducing a new, wily adversary for the club in the form of a motorcycle riding assistant U.S. attorney.
With a cast this big and plots this complicated, it can be a challenge to keep up. Then again, if you're willing to do the work, it more than pays off.
So far, there's no indication that there's enough brewing here to measure up to Season Two, but the show seems to be solidly back on track after the problems of Season Three.
