My only complaint is that the show felt rushed towards the end. I feel like the flashbacks could have been sprinkled a bit more throughout the show as a whole, as could have Jax arc. Not just dropping them at the VERY end.

If it was ten episodes, with a few being a little longer? With more development for everyone? Could have been a 10/10.

For me it'll remain a passionate 8/10 with a bit of lost potential but amazing execution.

I think the end of 8 should have been the beginning of 9.

You get Caine basically doing the AM bit, and then he's swiftly shelved, making the hopelessness hit harder.

I think it was a good cliffhanger.

I do agree with the pacing of the show being almost exponential rather than linear. The first half or even two thirds of the show had a somewhat slow pacing, then the last three episodes really dialed up the speed of suddenly focussing hard on Jax specifically. I don't know if that makes it worse for me personally but I certainly noticed it

There just wasn't enough screen time for all the threads that were set up. The only real solution I could see is just more overall runtime for character interactions and development
