'Mayans M.C.' series finale goes out in a blaze of glory and gunfire: Who lives and who dies?

WARNING: This post contains spoilers for the Mayans M.C. series finale.

The fifth and final season of FX’s Mayans M.C. came to a dramatic and somewhat shocking end Wednesday, and the overall reaction from fans was pretty positive. Sad, but positive.

The series takes place in the same fictional universe as the hit show Sons of Anarchy and follows the Mayans Motorcycle Club, rivals-turned-allies of the Sons. Mayans centered around the Ezekiel “EZ” Reyes (JD Pardo) and how he went from Stanford hopeful to eventually joining his brother Angel (Clayton Cardenas) in the biker gang and becoming one of its hardcore leader.

In the series finale episode, Angel admits to the rest of the Mayans that he was looking to leave the gang so he could focus on raising his son. Soon after, the Mayans confronted EZ about his past dealings with the FBI and ultimately forced Angel to kill his own brother in a rather heartbreaking scene. Meanwhile EZ’s pregnant girlfriend Sofia (Andrea Cortés) was also shot and killed.

Eventually, the FBI was able to track down the Mayans' house and raid it and, based on the number of gunshots heard during the scene, ultimately take out the rest of the gang. The final shot of the series shows Angel, having made it out before the raid, standing on the beach and holding his son, with his Mayans tattoos blacked out on his back.

Considering the show went out with a literal bang leaving few characters standing, reactions on Twitter indicate fans were heartbroken but, ultimately, satisfied.
