Kurt Sutter

Kurt Sutter’s medieval follow-up to his smash series ‘Sons of Anarchy’, titled ‘The Bastard Executioner’, has been cancelled by FX after just one series – and the writer himself has taken the highly unusual step of playing an active part in his own show’s demise.

Rather than let the show fade into ignominy after its initial run of 10 episodes, the 55 year old bought advertising space on Deadline to acknowledge the hard work that the cast and crew had put in to bring his tale of warrior knights in 12th century Wales to life, while being frank that the viewing figures weren’t good enough to make it sustainable.

“We did not hold back from showing the brutality of living in 1325 Wales,” Sutter also told Variety in a statement about his show’s premature end, with the series finale airing this Tuesday (November 17th).

The Sons of Anarchy season six finale was some showstopper. Completely at odds with the subtle beauty of Breaking Bad's wrap-up episode, the FX drama went the whole hog and we had a drowning, a stabbing and two rather bloody deaths. SPOILERS AHEAD. Obviously.

The Sons of Anarchy season six finale saw Tara (Maggie Siff) lying stone cold dead in her kitchen as a crying Jax (Charlie Humman) cradled her in his arms. Her killer was none other than Gemma (Katey Sagal) who, under the influence of marijuana, drowned her in the sink, stabbed her repeatedly and left her to bleed. Lovely.

The finale of Sons of Anarchy's sixth season left fans with their jaws wide open as it came to a heartfelt close last night (10 Dec.) - SPOILERS AHEAD - as Tara (Maggie Siff) laid dead in the arms of a crying Jax (Charlie Hunnam) having being stabbed to death by an enraged Gemma (Katey Sagal) armed with a carving fork.

Sagal (L) and Siff (R) provided the emotional and shocking ending to season six

The death was shocking (what the hell kind of weed was Gemma even smoking?), but the circumstances around the death made it heartbreaking, as Jax gave Tara permission to leave Charming with her boys and under her own terms while he served time for providing guns to the boy who shot up the elementary school at the opening of season six. Taking unwarranted revenge on Tara after receiving some bad information, Gemma's heinous act also resulted in the death of Eli Roosevelt (Rockond Dunbar) at the hands of Juice (Theo Rossi) after witnessing the killing.

It could be a little close for comfort for the US audience as such tragedies have not merely been fictional portrayals of violence, but a horrifying reality.
