We knew that the epic and deadly Sons of Anarchy series finale was big, but we didn't know just how big of an episode it was until now.

The ratings are in...and "Papa's Goods" was the most-watched episode of the FX biker drama of the entire series! The finale now ranks as the highest-rated episode of the series among total viewers, women 18-49, adults and men 18-34, and adults, men and women 25-54.

The previous record holder was the season-seven premiere episode.

But that's not all. FX announced today that the entire final season set a ratings record as the most-watched season of any series in FX's 20-year history. Whoa.

With Live+3 data, season seven delivered an average of 7.54 million total viewers and 5.0 million adults 18-49, beating previous record holder season six of SOA, which had 6.98 million total viewers and 4.77 million adults 18-49.

"It's a rare and remarkable accomplishment for a television show to generate its—and our channel's—highest ratings in its final season," FX CEO John Landgraf said. "We thank [executive producer] Kurt Sutter and his team for an epic ride."

Now that we can accurately say that the SOA series finale was the most-watched episode ever, how does it rank in quality among other TV finales? Click through our gallery below to find out!
