Sex & Nudity
-
- Women are occasionally shown wearing skimpy clothing. Not graphic.
- A couple scenes show a flash of male butts. Extremely brief and not nearly as graphic as you may think. Female nudity is much more commonly explicit.
- Lots of male nudity in prison throughout most of the show.
- A mans butt is shown while fleeing from a site. This scene is comedic
- It is implied that one of the main characters is gay. Acts of this are never shown though.
- Other gang shows such as The Sopranos feature much more sex than this show.
- An average HBO show features much more sex than a show like Sons of Anarchy does.
- A man has sex with a prostitute. She is shown on top of him bobbing up and down while moaning. Her back and butt are shown. The man's wife walks in and pushes the prostitute off of him. The man then gets up and walks around nude (shown fully from the back but not from the front).
- There are quite a few graphic scenes of male prison rape.
- There are infrequent but mild sexual references that are just played for laughs
- Men are implied to be gay in prison. This is never seen only mentioned by a character.
Violence & Gore
-
- Some seasons feature gruesome prison violence.
- A man is tied up to chain link fence and is beaten but survives it. Violent but not so graphic.
- A school shooting occurs. While the actual deaths aren't shown, a boy is shown removing a gun from his backpack, then walking into the school. We see flashes and hear gunshots and screams. It's implied that many children died. Very upsetting.
- As punishment for killing a gang member and other individuals. A man is shot with a shotgun and dies instantly. Only shown for a second.
- The violence is extremely brutal and graphic, and is quite M at certain moments
- This series contains brutal and sometimes graphic violent content.
- Examples of this are beatings, stabbings, torture, fights, shootouts, etc.
- Particularly strong examples include:
- A woman is shot in the back of the head with an Uzi, resulting in large blood sprays. This happens twice.
- A man is stabbed to death with a knife while others are made to watch.
- A father is forced to watch his daughter burn to death. We see her body catch on fire and hear her scream. The father cries. This scene is very tragic to watch. Although brief and it looks fake.
- A man is shown being stabbed and the aftermath. Kind of graphic but not disturbing.
- As an act of revenge for the death of a member. The Sons break into a mans house, gag him and execute him. The bash is head with a globe in one hit and he dies with a pool of blood around his head. Semi graphic.
- The Sons pursue a rival gang member and find him at a dogfighting ring. Dead dogs can be seen in trash cans and a dog fight is seen
- A dungeon is depicted in which men are fighting each other. A gunfight ensues and a sadistic man is drowned.
Profanity
-
- Quite a few uses of "shit" and "bitch", though no f bombs are ever used. It's the same with "The Walking Dead", other swear words are often used though no F words.
- Cursing is present throughout the series, but there are no f-bombs
- The most frequent profanity heard in the series are "shit", and "asshole." Also the exclamation "Jesus Christ!" is heard often as well.
- Racial slurs are often heard due to the presence of race-based gangs. "Nigger", "wetback", and referring to people by "brown", "white" or "yellow" is present in the series.
- Slang such as "dick", "cock", "penis", "pussy", are heard somewhat often.
- Insults such as referring to women as "bitch", "whore", or "gash" have been heard in an episode or two. Insults to gay people are heard sometimes. This has happened once or twice as well. "Faggot" and "retarded" have also been used once or twice as insults.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

- Jax's ex wife Wendy is a recovering drug addict, she is sometimes shown using a mixture of intravenous drugs.
- Characters are shown smoking marijuana occasionally
- Season 4 and 5 revolves around The Sons becoming drug mules for a cartel that deals cocaine.
- The show creates a negative theme around the usage of drugs and it's consequences. Drugs are rarely taken although often sold.
- Drug dealing is a minor component to the series. Other gangs such as The Mayans deal cocaine, heroine and meth for profit. Drug use is shown very briefly.
- There is a drug scene in Season 2: Episode 10 where two of the characters are seen taking in 'mushrooms'. Subsequent scenes show them in a state of high. The depiction of drug use in the series, however, does not promote or endorse drug abuse.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- This show contains lots of grisly and brutal violence that can be very emotional at times.
- The world of this show is very violent and savage. There are multiple scenes depicting grisly gang violence, examples, include torture, shootings, shootouts, stabbings, beatings, and people burning to death.

Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- As a form of blackmail, The Sons tell a man that they have pictures of him in sex. This is not true and the man ends up believing it even though they have no proof. No nudity
- At the end of season 2 episode 1, Gemma is kidnapped and raped by three masked men. No nudity is seen but they are seen beating her and removing her clothes before just off-screen they are seen thrusting.
Violence & Gore
- In what is probably the most violent and brutal sequence of the whole series. A man's face is smashed into a kitchen counter and is drowned in a sink. He is then stabbed in the back of the head with a knife. Tons of blood spills out of the top head and into the sink. There is a lots of blood in this scene.
- A man is chained up and brutally stabbed with surgical tools, lots of blood. He is then killed by getting shot multiple times.
- A character, throughout the series, is in prison and he is often subject to brutal violence. Examples includes his eye getting violently stabbed causing him to lose sight in one eye, him stabbing people, and getting stabbed himself by others in prison. This same character kills several people in various ways, such as stabbing someone through the ear. He eventually gets shot multiple times in an extremely bloody and brutal scene.
- The final season featured a storyline involving a main character being brutally tortured. His eye is gouged out and his fingers are cut off. In retaliation, the series protagonist takes revenge by doing the exact same thing to the torturer, featuring a crushed, hanging eyeball. This "retaliation" scene is one of the show's most brutal and graphic scenes. The man is shown with his eyeball hanging from it's socket and swinging around before he is shot in the head.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- There is an extremely tense scene where Gemma holds a gun to an infants head in order to get information from someone and threatens to cut it in half.
- The scene where Damon Pope forces Tig to watch his daughter burn to death is extremely gut wrenching and painful.
