I dont know, It felt more like they went for shock value than anything else.
Also this intra-gang squabbles and tension for 5 eps now is becoming slightly boring all the while the president of the club watches and does nothing.
This show always had great structure, great tension building, great dialogues/characters. Its losing a bit that.
That shirtless scene also felt kind of forced, I know EZ is getting thougher and sharper but she just waltz in, hes shirtless and they have sex at the drop of a hat. Felt a bit on the nose. Something feels off this season.
I really like this show, It is way better than the Sons of Anarchy IMO, which often were laughable. But this season its kind of like, half of the writers left and were replaced with inexperienced ones taking their cues out of writing 101 txtbook. And each group writes half of the scenes/ep.
