Twitter users and viewers of last night’s premiere took to the social media website to discuss the show.
"AWESOME season premiere of Sons of Anarchy! Season 4 is gonna be awesome," wrote Twitter user Gunner.
"I hate waiting a whole week to see another episode," wrote Traci.
Rachel wrote, "Sons of Anarchy is on!!! You guys have no clue how happy I am. This will be the best 90 minutes of my life."
The Christian Post spoke with a motorcycle enthusiast and fan of the show, Mary Suter, who lives Coventry, Conn.
"'Sons of Anarchy' is one of the best series on television. The footage of the incredible motorcycle models alone is enough to keep people interested," said Suter.
Suter has been watching the show since the series premiered in 2008, and said the characters fascinate viewers with their extreme loyalty, despite their criminal activity.
"To glimpse the complex inner-workings of the motorcycle club and see their own sense of values and morals is interesting. Even though they are different from society-they are true to themselves," said Suter.
Speaking with E! the creator of the show, Charlie Hunnam, said that characters Jax and Tara’s romance grows "stronger than it's ever been before" this season.
Hunnam said Jax will "concentrate on being a husband and father, [while trying to find] the most seamless way to extricate himself from the club."
"Sons of Anarchy" airs on FX Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET.
