Advance Review: Sons of Anarchy Season 4 Returns to Its Kick-

The sentiment that SAMCRO can and will do what they like is still present, but the notion that everything will work out for them in the end has vanished. With the familiar Police Chief Wayne Unser now living surviving in a trailer with a single marijuana plant to keep him company while cancer slowly eats away at him, SAMCRO’s last remaining connection to the presumed “law” of Charming has vanished. In his place now sits one of San Joaquin’s finest officers, Sherriff Eli Roosevelt – a man with enough morals and tenacity to not only be seen as a threat to SAMCRO, but one that doesn’t even show a hint of fear from what repercussions may follow his ever-brazen actions.

If that’s not enough, Jacob Hale has also become the new mayor of Charming, and has continued with his plans to build new developments within the city. Of course, the most apparent (and capable) antagonist to everyone’s favorite motorcycle gang is the mild-mannered, though brilliantly-minded Assistant United States Attorney Lincoln Potter. Potter, for all intents and purposes, will come to be the master of all these newly presented domains – though it’s going to take some time before we see exactly how that’s going to happen.

Those of you hoping to ease back into "Sons of Anarchy" with the Season 4 premiere are A) probably disappointed and B) probably watching the wrong show.

Fourteen months have passed in "SOA" time since the end of last season, but there's next to no looking back in the jam-packed 90-minute premiere. By the end of the episode at least three major story lines are in play, and it feels as if we're in for a relentless season.

The season opens with SAMCRO being released from prison after just over a year and returning to a Charming that's starting to look a lot different than the one they left. Before they even reach town, the club passes a sign for a new, upscale subdivision, and when they do arrive, they discover that the county sheriff has taken over law enforcement in town, and the lieutenant in charge of patrolling Charming (Rockmond Dunbar) is not going to be the friendly sort.

In short order we learn that the feds are hoping to crack down on the Sons using the RICO organized-crime statute; that Jax spent much of his time in prison thinking about getting out of the club (his much-teased "greed and fear" speech, it turns out, is to Tara); and that the club's business relationship with the Russians is going to be a temporary one

After their fourteen month prison sentence, the outlaw boys of SAMCRO along with their formidable old ladies are back in the fourth season premiere of FX’s Sons of Anarchy. Following their battles with the IRA, rival motorcycle clubs, and the law itself, the Sons have found themselves up against a very powerful new enemy: the gentrification of Charming as a result of the development deal Nate Hale put into motion before he apparently won the race for mayor. As for the club itself, most of the boys may have done time together but make no mistake that the fractures in the group’s dynamic are still there with the possibility of getting even deeper. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of a premiere episode that promised a season of bigger changes still to come for the SOA and their loved ones.

New Enemies, New Allies
Right from the start we’re given a glimpse of a stranger in town when the boys roll down Charming’s main street on their first day out of the slammer. It turns out that this man is with the U.S Attorney's office and they’ve set up shop in Charming, in the offices right above the newly-installed San Joaquin sheriff’s department
