Mayans MC: 10 Reasons Sons Of Anarchy Fans Need To Watch
Sutter's Sons of Anarchy spin-off promises much more violence and smart-ass remarks that fans adore.
Sons of Anarchy blessed our screens for the first time in 2008 and developed a pretty loyal and tight fanbase across the span of the six years and seven seasons it ran for – even earning an 89% positive review on Rotten Tomatoes.
When the show ended, fans were desperate for some sort of sequel, or prequel, to the beloved drama. In September 2018, these desperate pleas were answered when the first episode of Mayans MC was released.
Fans of the Sons of Anarchy franchise, however, felt rather sceptical about this new release, given that it was about a new MC altogether – and a pretty hated one at that.
What possible reasons could there be for fans of Sons of Anarchy to watch a Spin-off about a gang that caused quite a few issues to the men of SamCro? Here is a list of ten important reasons for fans of Sons of Anarchy to give Mayans MC a watch:
10. The Background
Fans of the Sons of Anarchy series fondly remember the constant sunshine landing upon cracked, bleached, roads and the dusty lands that spun sand off the back tires of the member's bikes - like a wave of smoke. It seemed to set a mysterious air around the gang.
Well, that is still very much evident in the Mayans MC spin-off.
The ‘shanty’ setting also mixes with that same, aesthetically pleasing rock-religious music that played on repeat during the SOA instalments, which immediately lets fans settle back into the drama-filled world the clubs belong to with a strong sense of nostalgia and familiarity.
Even smaller things, such as the patchwork ‘Prospect’ upon EZ’s leather kutte reinforces this familiarity, and the deep rumble of the bike’s engines complimenting any kind of music – it’s all so wonderfully, and somewhat, soothing for fans; it’s back. It’s all back.
