It's a watchable series, but you'll have to forget everything you know about...
And I'm not talking about you being an expert on these things, just that you understand even some basics or have seen any other series where actual, trained people have participated in advising how to write the scene or how the actor needs to move in a particular area (hint: not in the middle of the street if you want to hide).
Simply put, you'll have to think like an under-10-year-old kid.
I liked the actors, though, hence 4/10 instead of 2-3/10.
- Security and safety, video surveillance, etc
- Guns and handling them
- Any rational decision making
- How police and military works
- How agents and other highly trained people operate work, move, and secure areas
- Etc

I binged all the episodes of Mayans except for 5, then I hopped to SOA, watched the whole series, and came back to check out the last 5 episodes.
Sure, I followed the SOA back in the day from the start, and after that, there were a few episodes, but I considered it to be a bit too Bold and Beautiful with leather vests type of series. Many things were believable, but many didn't correlate with reality at all. One thing is for sure: it was sponsored by Harley, Marlboro (perhaps ;) ), and Levi's.
However, the Mayans was different. It had a different feeling, and I liked the first 3 seasons. I actually liked it. I think it was the fourth when I, a bit, lost my appetite as the storyline seemed to be figured out on the fly. The building of EZ Reyes's character was decent, but it might have been better. Especially the last season's murderous head of the vicious MC did not convince especially when he was considered to be "a rat" from the start. A dude who has proven himself hundreds of times to be the toughest person and best leader of the Mayans was somehow still considered to be a rat. I seriously doubt that any member at that point couldn't care less what he has ever done, nothing could weigh out what he has been doing. At the same time, the character development of Angel was poor and he changed into another person during the series, just like Galindo. It's a salad.
As a sad result of putting down a series, probably because of money, it ended like it did. I assume they weren't sure until the end - and I mean the producers. Well, there's room for a women's MC series, what do you think? ;)

This series underestimates the viewer's intelligence. It's written probably for 10-year-old kids. My marathon has taken a year as I have to put this away when my brains get sore enough, but finally, I'm done with it.
But it's good to watch while you're working. Just let it run in the background and use your brain for work. Or surfing, shopping, etc.
Yes, these things happen. Or at least we think so. Some do, and some don't. Check this out like a book, use your imagination to fill in the blanks.
But don't claim this is a good series, please, as it's not. It doesn't make much sense. Nothing makes much sense.
