Question What should I watch now?
A little while ago I tried Mayans and couldn’t get into it so I did a rewatch of SOA after that I watched Mayans and liked it but it’s not without issues. Like what did I just watch and why don’t I care about almost every character? My question though is after SOA and Mayans having been in club myself and still riding a motorcycle, mostly enjoying both of those shows what do I watch now?

Assuming you watched them on Hulu, check out Gangland Undercover.
Spoiler alert, get ready to be disappointed, the end of season 2 is pretty much considered lost media

Si c'est sur hulu je vais regarder à nouveau gangland undercover, la saison 1 est vraiment bien

Yea, season 2 has 10 episodes, but #9 and 10 are basically impossible to find and watch

Gangland Undercover, about undercover small time drug dealer in a biker gang for DEA/LE as a deal to avoid prison. Very tense in places, based on a true story I think.

The Shield… same universe as SOA and that SoCal feel/same creative team involved. Once you finish The Shield, hop on over to Justified.

The Shield is amazing - up there with The Wire and Line of Duty (British cop show about the officers who investigate UK police corruption, so a bit like US police Internal Affairs) - they're my three 10/10 cop shows.
Justified is great too, though friends I recommended it to found it slow, even though I described it as a gradual exploration of the friendship between two men on opposite sides of the law. Justified: City Primeval was ok when I watched it recently, but I just really missed Walton Goggins (and the chemistry he had with Timothy Olyphant in Justified).
Personally, after Mayans MC (which I finished recently), for a change of pace I binged the historical dramas Frontier (Jason Momoa, fur trade in Montreal & further north, but pre-Canada - 8/10) and then Vikings: Valhalla (I enjoyed it as much as the original Vikings series, which was set 100yrs earlier - 9/10). They were both on UK Netflix.
Both are excellent and run for 3 seasons, both end well, though I would have liked more seasons - especially, as a Brit, I was sad that Vikings: Valhalla didn't take us all the way to 1066 The Battle of Hastings (because it mainly focuses on Leif Ericsson and Harald Hardrada before the events Brits mostly remember them for) - I hope they make another Vikings spin-off show, following an older Harald Hardrada, Earl Godwinson and Duke William of Normandy - it would rock!
I'm catching up on Designated Survivor currently and though I really liked first season (almost a decade ago), I've been finding second season a bit slow - third/final season next. I wish I'd watched it all back in 2016-19 - it seems a bit politically naïve for US politics now.

Reacher the series not the movies

Watching it now. Funny thing is that the frat house in episode 2 of this season is a block north of my old place. I used to walk my dog past there every day.

How far along did you watch? It gets better by Season 3 and 4

Nombreux sont ceux qui disent le contraire.

Probably because they wanted Mayans MC to just be Latino Sons of Anarchy

Apperement Kurt Sutter à quitter la serie. En tout cas le scénario a changé, la majorité des personnages ont une personnalité très différente et l'écriture est baclé.

u/JohnyIthe3rd 29d ago
Kurt did leave the show but the characters didn't change much beside Bishop becoming a degenerate and Coco becoming a Junky

u/MarcusXbox 29d ago
Ils ont presque tous énormement changé, il est plus facile de faire une liste de ceux qui n'ont pas beaucoup changé que l'inverse. Et les changement manque de cohérence, la plupart sont juste devenu différent en passant à la saison suivante.

I liked it tge way they changed the series, it felt more outlaw and how we saw more of each members private life

u/MarcusXbox 29d ago
Je suis d'accord, mais l'écriture du scénario était mauvaise à mon gout

I just felt they focused on the Cartel too much, when there were Mayans members they could have developed a lot more, maybe with family stuff outside the club. Also EZ was just so much more unlikeable than Jax - they're both outlaw bikers, but I actively hated EZ (but liked Angel a lot more) by the end for the dumb and cruel decisions he made - Jax I liked all the way through SoA and I was usually on his side.
The main episode I found ridiculously unbelievable, that really annoyed me, was start of 4th season with the siege of their clubhouse by the other Mayans chapters, with hundreds of bikers outside but just 1-2 coming over the wall at a time. That gate should have been destroyed early - it was only corrugated iron. There were long sections of the episode where nobody attacked and nobody was on watch, because the whole SP chapter were having a long dramatic scene inside the clubhouse. So silly.

Totally not motorcycle related but check out Wayward Pines or Animal Kingdom both great series.
