Mayans M.C.

I Iove this show! But since Sutter left theres something wrong with the storytelling...Theres too much going on right now and they make weird character desicions...I cant help but there has to happen something with this writing team because this isnt working as good as planned or hoped... I just hope they will change the way of the storytelling and cut some of the lines, because they are getting boring and feel dragged out.

As someone else mentioned, seasons 1 & 2 were must watch TV, great storyline and very well acted.

Season 3 the slide began, writing went to hell and now the Season 4 premier was just horrible!

Who wrote that mess? How do they even have a job?!? It's so poorly written, terrible acting by everyone involved, and just a waste of 40 minutes.

I'll watch another episode or two, but if it continues like this it'll be yet another once great show ruined by idiot writers in Hollywood with no talent.

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.

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.

Even though it's in the same "universe" as SOA, this is definitely its own show - try not to base your opinion of this show on that show.

I've noticed a trend with Sutter's work: his shows always start out good and then the characters all just basically come apart at the seams. His shows are definitely not known for happy endings. The same is true here. Season one was outstanding but, as time went on, the characters and club in general all start to unravel. You might think by watching the beginning of the series that this club will accomplish what they set out to, but those happy feelings are soon replaced with melancholy and sadness.

The last 3-4 seasons became rather dark and depressing. I wanted to root for the characters - at least some of them - but I knew this was going down a dark road. In that respect, if you enjoy that kind of thing, you definitely won't be disappointed. However, I kind of enjoy happy endings once in a while, especially with the world being how it is. If you need something uplifting, don't watch this show. But if you like gritty, dark action/drama, this might be just your thing.
