It's been over a decade since Sons of Anarchy came to an end, but if the show is still lingering on your watchlist then you'd better get a move on. All seven seasons, which are currently available on U, will soon be removed from the free streaming service.
As per the synopsis, the "adrenaline-packed crime drama" centres around "a notorious but close-knit motorcycle gang who act as protectors of the fictional Californian town of Charming".
The show stars Charlie Hunnam in the lead role of Jax Teller, the son of former SAMCRO president John Teller. Following John's death, the club is taken over by co-founder Clay Morrow (Ron Perlman), who also marries Jax's mother Gemma (Katey Sagal).

After discovering his late father's manifesto, Jax's worldview is changed and he tries to shift the club back towards John's original vision.
Sons of Anarchy aired 92 episodes between 2008 and 2014, quickly becoming one of FX's highest-rated shows at the time. Its success led to the spin-off series, Mayans M.C., which aired from 2018 to 2023 and focused on the rival motorcycle club.
