Mayans M.C.

Patience is required. Season one sets the table but is somewhat plodding. Season 2 starts to evolve the characters much more. Season 3 is simply off the charts riveting and emotional. It is season 3 that rivals SOA. The show is more realistic and less campy then SOA although SOA characters seem to have more chemistry. I think this show is on the cusp on brilliance. Stick with it.

Pleasantly surprised with this new show. Loved SOA and expected this to be a lesser substitute, but it is not. Mayans has heart and a great plot. Egaging actors easy to identify/believe. Have to agree the only character who seems out of place is Emily. Hard to understand how the pure little drama queen became accepted by people grounded in the reality of their world. Good strong characters with great acting all around other than that. Every scene she appears in my brain asks "WHY?" She does not fit, personality, speech, appearance, everything is wrong for her in this show. Similar to having a stone in your shoe, Emily is an irritant to otherwise entertaining experience.

I have to say I enjoyed Mayans M. C. even more than I thought I would. First of all, Sons of Anarchy is one of my favorite shows of all-time so I was really looking forward to this spinoff. Like SoA this was created by Kurt Sutter so it has that same gritty feel to it. It balances several plots at once all the while keeping the Reyes brothers (JD Pardo and Clayton Cardenas) at the front. Much like SoA, each season continues to impress and is just as good as the other seasons. Now, while I enjoyed this show a lot it's still no where close to as good as Sons of Anarchy. I still recommend this show to everyone, especially fans of SoA, just don't compare the two.

Mayans M. C. is not nearly as good as Sons of Anarchy (not much is) but it's still a really good show in its own right. Most of the negative reviews are people trying to compare it to Sons of Anarchy because it's a spin-off...don't, just take it for what it is and that's a pretty good show that's absolutely worth watching! It starts off a little slow so you may have to give it a few episodes to get into it but once you do you won't be disappointed. It's a gripping thriller with plenty of action. It's a classic Kurt Sutter show! While this last season was the weakest of the five it was still pretty good. I'm definitely going to miss this show now that's done.

Started off well, so if you can find the first two seasons it's worth a look.

Third season was alright.. I've quit watching after the first few episodes of season four... didn't even finish ep. Four. The show is decreasing at an increasing rate.

Maybe what's missing is Kurt Sutter. Whatever it is, it's no longer holding my attention.
