At the end of last season we saw the club lose new recruit 'Half Sack' and we can tell you that in the season three premiere episode, much to our shock, we lose another long-standing character of even greater depth. From what we've seen of the season so far, series creator Kurt Sutter is firing on all cylinders and has an incredibly capable and devoted ensemble to back up his intense storylines.
SAMCRO is more than a motorcycle club, business operation (illegal), or even an extended family. This is a tribe with warriors, healers, and elders - they've all got roles and responsibilities in, as Ron Perlman put it, "their own society". Their tattoos are their warpaint, their leathers are their armor - it's a primitive premise, but when you've "got eleven/twelve leads [leading actors] on this show... and to write for all of us is a very tough job, but I'm thrilled as to what I've got", as Kim Coates told me, and it's this depth of writing and performance that is a thrill to watch.
Season 3 premieres on Tuesday, September 7 at 10pm.
