I liked the show, but it was infuriating just how many problems Gema caused and how Jax kept forgiving her while at the same time being all surprised when she once again caused a problem. It took way too long for him to solve that problem for good.

I mean - as I alluded above - a big problem with the show was that it was conceived as "Hamlet, With Bikers", but then wound up serpentining off into a million other directions. This eventually made the characters who were most integral to the Hamlet storyline - namely Clay and Gemma - no longer relevant to what the show had become, and, much as I love Perlman and Sagal, both characters should really have been killed off maybe, I dunno, three seasons in.

(In fact, the show as a whole should probably have only lasted about three seasons. Maybe people would mourn its relatively early passing, but at least they'd remember it fondly.)
