    I think this show is heading in the right direction. Some people need to relax, it was just the pilot episode. Everyone wants everything explained in the first 5 minutes. Give this show a few episodes to develop. I love all the opposing factions and that the main character EZ is starting from scratch, no inheritance.

    As a huge fan of Sons of Anarchy I could not wait to see this show I had really high expectations for it and I can say that it lives up to them. This show balances what SOA did so well, drama, action, and family. I cannot wait to see how this season turns out.

    The Mayans MC exceeded my high expectations. We all know, they had some pretty big shoes to fill following SOA, but so far, Kurt Sutter nailed it with the depiction of the harsh reality and struggles these outlaws face, along with, the impact it has on those around them and with those at their mercy. I hope they garner some well- deserved Golden Globe and Emmy nominations as theThe Mayans MC exceeded my high expectations.

I hope they garner some well- deserved Golden Globe and Emmy nominations as the story-lines and characters continue to develop. The Mayans have some hefty players (i.e. writers, actors, and directors) that will make this show an absolute success, and perhaps, even bigger then most on cable network. Expand

    As a passionate SAMCRO fan, it was clear that I would be inclined to like this show, and I do. It's MUCH better than The Bastard Executioner (sorry Kurt!). I particularly like the supporting cast, but it's not as strong a group as the Sons supporting cast (Tig, etc.). I'm very much hooked for the season...

    I actually enjoyed this first episode more than I enjoyed the first episode of Sons! Wonderful job Sutter and everyone else, this was really good! The first half was decent to good but the 2nd half and ending of this episode was fantastic, classic Sutter! Can't wait to see more episodes! Olmos is such a great actor to :)

    Very good start to this Sons of Anarchy spin off series. It definitely exceeded my expectations and I hope it can continue to build off the first episode and get even better.

    This show is a HIT, bottom line. slow burn but when it picks up it gets very good. Shows you can't judge a series by episode 1.

    I think too many "critics" get in their own heads trying to sound like they are professional, so they look for things to criticize and don't want to jump aboard the entertainment train.

    Let me tell you how I know whether I like a show or not: When I watch for 2 hours, and want to watch another episode. I just watched Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime, and I couldn't wait to watch episode 2.

    Let me tell you how I know whether I like a show or not: When I watch for 2 hours, and want to watch another episode. I just watched Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime, and I couldn't wait to watch episode 2. Same with Mayans. The pilot was compelling and the story seems pretty intriguing. While it is difficult to get a sense of the various characters yet, I can see that unfolding as we go along, but the storyline is really good and sets up quite a bit of tension and different ways to go.

    This show is so far and away better than anything on network that I am bewildered why critics would rate it so low, yet give other, terrible shows high scores.

    If you liked Sons of Anarchy, which ended up as one of FX’s most-watched drama series, then you’re very likely to roll with this one, too.

    It jams so many subplots into its opening two episodes as to make it nearly impossible to connect to any of the characters in a meaningful way. ... Sutter has found a compelling lead actor in Pardo, whose onscreen chemistry with Olmos and Cardenas has enough fortitude to hold the center long enough for the show to find a map, if it can. First it would have to drop some of its bloat. ... The show’s 67-minute premiere is the storytelling equivalent stuffing 10 pounds of sausage into a two-pound bag.

    Time will tell how well this all fits together. We barely get to know any of the characters in the first two episodes, beyond EZ, Emily, EZ’s carniceria owner father (Edward James Olmos) who has his own secrets … because everyone on this show has secrets. Mayans MC makes a good case to stick around to get to know them. This is more of a good thing, with a chance to make a series that is even better.
