This is a SPOILER-FREE review of FX's Mayans MC premiere episode, titled Perro/Oc.
Ten years after creator Kurt Sutter's seminal Sons of Anarchy premiered, the chaotic and dangerous world of California biker gangs is back, with Mayans MC, a spinoff set within the same universe, taking place four years after the shocking events of the SOA series finale in 2014. The series premiere, titled Perro/Oc, gives us a glimpse into Sutter and co-creator Elgin James' (Little Birds) ambitious new project, which gets off to a roaring start, thanks to a strong cast and an unexpected focus on topical real-world issues.
Where SOA was Shakespeare's Hamlet set within the confines of a motorcycle gang, Mayans MC is less concerned with family melodrama, and more fixated on the volatile nature of the drug cartels near the Mexico-California border and the effect that those bloody conflicts have on the local inhabitants. While there are still exciting bike chases and tense shootouts that fans of the original series will recognize, Mayans MC is trying to be more profound than its predecessor, and for the most part, the series succeeds in that endeavor.
