As you never know who will get offed as the regular formula no longer holds true on these excellently scripted, shot and performed series. Gritty life with small betrayal that turn out to be huge factors in the Clubs existence. As now the resistance has allowed a viper in their midst, intriguing as we shall see what and who commands a stronger loyalty.

Somewhat downhill from the pilot episode

I think that Netflix would put their descriptor on this as "Soapy, Telenovella". The production is still good and there are some good actors in here, Like Eddie J Olmos, Raul Trujillo, Emilio Rivera, Richard Cabral, Noel G and several other familiar actors. The trouble is that there's too much soap opera footage for my taste.
For stories featuring Latin actors, the competition is pretty fierce. You have Narcos: Mexico that has set the standard for stories about Mexico in Spanish and English, made to be accessible for non-English or non-Spanish speakers. That bad pacing that is Kurt Sutter's signature, especially his style of making it up episode by episode, might not be tolerated by viewers.
These days, the story matters and showrunners can't be dragging things out and throwing curveballs that don't cross the plate. Viewers, like me, have had a taste of much better storytelling since SOA left the screen.

I am losing interest fast here!

Warning: Spoilers
Well well well where do I start! The series is mixed with oh I lost my child. We got bikers pointlessly driving around. Hidden secrets, and motive mixed with over dramatic acting. Miss the gritty realism of the Sopranos. I just felt like I wasted an hour of my life. I believe the series will last maybe a season. Regrettably reminds me of what I did not like about predictable T V. Nothing exciting or new here. Good movie quality budget and acting can not save this dog of a series. Watch P B S with that painting guy instead. I will go back to watching Better call Saul! 4 out of 10 stars.
