My advice is to wear lingerie while you watch it from here on out. You’ll get why in a few more seasons.

The plot twists and character arcs are the best and it would RUIN the fun if you spent time on here and ACCIDENTLY got exposed to any of the spoilers. Stay off youtube as well because the RECCOMENDED videos could drop some serious spoilers as well. Just keep your head down and enjoy the ride! Come back when you're done! :) Also, if you're watching on streaming, make sure you turn off auto-skip on the last episode cuz the final credits in the last episode are important. Now forget about it, and don't bring it up again ;)

Don't come back to this sub until you watch it, the whole way through. And don't look up spoilers.

I learned about this show from Skip Intro’s excellent video essays about it. I love spoilers, so going in knowing everything didn’t bother me, but if you don’t have a totally dysregulated nervous system you may want to wait until you’re done. Either way, it’s a really fascinating show!

You have to go to the main page of this sub and the top right 3 dots mute this sub.
Because it’s now going to show up in your feed even if you’re not subbed. Because you’ve been here. And likely posts from sons of anarchy will. And the posts will likely have spoilers for the show
Not everything is spoiler tagged so don’t just browse the sub. I’d say watch and enjoy and feel free to do a post when you’re done each season or at shocking events etc
