Rating TV-MA

Series Premiere  Tuesday September 4th, 2018 10:00PM EST (FX)

“Set in a post-Jax Teller world, “Mayans MC” sees EZ Reyes, a former golden boy now fresh out of prison, as a prospect in the Mayan MC charter on the California-Mexico border who must carve out his new outlaw identity.”

Kurt Sutter's Sons of Anarchy was easily one of my favorite T.V. series to the point where i remember binge watching a full two seasons in one day and I swear after I was finished I was convinced that the world created in the show was in fact reality. Like any other great show it takes a few episodes to get hooked because of the depth of character development etc, but make no mistake that was a show that will put you and keep you on the edge of your seat. Now SOA ended awhile ago and many fans were left with a void in the world of television, but luckily Sutter himself has responded with a spinoff series called Mayans M.C., following the Mayans motorcycle gang who were a integral piece of SOA, into a post SOA/Jax era. As a fan of SOA and Kurt Sutter, as a talented writer and actor, I can't wait for this to hit FX this fall. Luckily the official trailer is finally here, check it out below!!
