The Mayans getting a Sons of Anarchy Spin Off

Hate to say it, because I really wanted to like this, but the show stinks. Deleted the latest episode halfway through. Episode two was all right, just about every minute of every other episode left me bored and disinterested. Nothing and no one worth investing in at all.

Through neglect, I haven't DVRed or watched a single episode. What you are saying doesn't sound good.

Just got renewed for a season 2.

I watched every episode. The story is just bad. They would have been better off if they spent the first season establishing the history of the Mayans MC. Instead right off the bat they have a story of the brother of a Mayans member is a prospect who is also a police informant. The brother member is starting a war with a Mexican drug cartel boss by helping some renegade Mexican group steal the cartel's drug shipments. The drug cartel boss is married to a white lady who is the prospect's ex girlfriend.

So yeah, the story is just bad. I mean hell they don't even hang out at the club house. Instead they hang out at a whore house.

Well the show just got renewed for a second season. Despite it's bad story line, it is averaging 8.2 million viewers per an episode, so FX is pleased and renewed it.

I agree its not as good as the original I have yet to really bond with any of the characters except for the old man. I'll still watch it just not going to hold up to my expectations.

I haven't caught the show because of the bad reviews here, but I enjoy it. Not as good as SOA but that's an all time great show.

Half way through the first season and I like most of the characters.

Sucks to hear Sutter getting fired so it probably means the original 9 is off the books for the foreseeable future which I was really looking forward to.

A year late, but I mostly agree with this. None of that stuff is any worse than some of the ridiculous stuff that happened in later seasons of SOA, but SOA kind of 'earned' that with some slow burn in the earlier seasons. Instead, Mayans just jumped right into the crazy

Yeah, I loved SOA from start to finish but some of the overkill (literally, LOL) in later seasons was a lot-but I have to admit many times entertaining.


EDIT: One of the most violent shows ever put on TV.
