mrags Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Show starts tonight. Anyone super excited? Im interested and will watch but I feel it won’t be as good as SOA. However, the ending and the entire final season of SOA was terrible. The 2nd last season wasn’t that good either. Was more of the same old stuff every week. So I’m hoping this show redeems a little.
Fadingpain Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I had no idea what any of this was about so just read up on it, quickly, as I'm always looking for good new TV shows. Honestly, though, the concept doesn't interest me.
apuszczalowski Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I have the entire series of SOA, but haven't sat down to watch it yet
shrader Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I really don't know what to expect out of this one. For some reason I thought they were doing a prequel, but now I see that isn't the case for this show.

Expectations for me are quite low. Young MC prospect trying to find his way through life. Where have we seen that before? Television is definitely running out of ideas with this and reboot of Magnum PI. I liked the original Magnum but you need the balance that John Hillerman brought and the promos do not give much confidence that will happen. I'd rather reboot Gomer Pyle, USMC or the British Keeping Up Appearances. Anyhow, if you were ripping on Trump about stereotypes then the Mayans will do very little to alter perceptions. Sutter got paid and until the show proves otherwise that is what it is all about.
dpberr Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 They need to do something besides rehash the same SOA plot devices - otherwise it'll die on the vine. My hot take is that the main character is a CIA agent. (as a continuation of the CIA plot line from SOA.)
Rob's House Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 I'll check it out, but my expectations are low. I watched SOA, which had some good seasons, but my feeling of the series overall is it was just ok. It relied too much on shock value gore porn and by the last season I didn't like or care about any of the characters. 2
Another Fan Posted September 4, 2018 Posted September 4, 2018 Was a fan of SOA but probably not gonna watch. If I hear it’s good I might binge watch to catch up 1

I suspect Mayans will just be Mexican A-Team on motorcycles

mrags Posted September 5, 2018 Author Posted September 5, 2018 I won’t give anything away in the episode. But I thought it was pretty good. I’ll watch some more for now.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 SOA was a filthy show and I'm hoping this isn't as bad.

The show started out good then it just got really stomach churning...and I don’t consider myself a lightweight...i guess I’m just getting old. I forced myself to watch the rest of the series for the simple fact of finishing something i started.

I didn't finish the scene either. It's not being a lightweight, most don't want to watch that s#!t but they continue to force that depravity upon us just to see how vile we can become.
row_33 Posted September 5, 2018 Posted September 5, 2018 fun to see the same folk as in the other show Snowfall

I hate it when a mysterious power chooses my television station for me -- and there's nothing I can do about it except sit there and WATCH!!!
