"Sons of Anarchy" has been a heart-stopping seven seasons especially for the fans. It was indeed a wild and exhilirating ride but Jax Teller's (Charlie Hunnam) personal struggle to wrestle his inner demons and avoid the violent life that continually pursues him has drawn to a close.
According to a report, the hit FX drama drew in 9.26 million total viewers. The report further stated that the final episode is the most watched episode ever.
Jax Teller is no stranger to loss. The strong-willed protagonist had already lost his father, his stepfather, his best friend, and his wife. During his journey, he lost many "brothers" along the way when he presided over one of the bloodiest episodes of his motorcyle club.
As the hero of the story, Jax struggled to show his morals despite all the immorality that surrounded him. He was also someone who struggled for redemption, having murdered people needlessly over the past as a fuel for his selfish and petty desires. His struggle was a living hell to him as he had to wrestle with his inner demons. His character certainly has the most appeal, and without him there will be no show. The Wrap reports, citing sources.
Season 7 was rather unusual because it made you look at the series in retrospect. There were times when it felt like the story dragged on, as if the plot was pandering for something. The acting was strong all throughout and one could really feel each character's inner turmoil. One could see that there was great character development in each of the characters.
Teller's final act of surrender was an act of sacrifice. It was an emotional scene for viewers everywhere as the bad ass protagonist decided to turn himself in, raising his arms up in surrender,respectively. The end was poetic, to say the least as reported by IGN.
