Well, I can only say that watching this series was a complete waste of time and that in the end I don't consider it canon at all.
First, Sons of Anarchy is written here as complete morons, which is a complete contrast to the original series.
When we remember what the chapter presidents were like, when they talked to Jax Teller, we saw that they were intelligent people. The sons would never allow someone like Isaac to be chapter president.
The writing is terrible, luckily there is a fast forward button. The Mayans worked well as an occasional enemy/ally in the original series, but as a main protagonist they just aren't nearly as interesting as Sons of Anarchy. This is probably because the writers wrote them as cardboard characters.
The Sons had personalities, each character was fleshed out and had flaws and virtues, and despite the fact that most of their actions were questionable, sometimes horrible, it was interesting.
I don't think the writers realized that viewers tried to watch this series because it was a continuation of the original series. The only somewhat interesting parts are the ones where the original lineup appears, and that's rare. The main character in the show, EZ Reyes is just not nearly as good as Jax Teller and that's where the story stops.
The writing is terrible, the dialogues are hilarious and in the end it's a total waste of time. The series was canceled because they were losing viewers, which is not surprising. Luckily I didn't waste too much time on this disaster.
Unfortunately, the series is garbage.

Documentary about the infamous communist prison in the former Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia was a dictatorship in which the master of life and death was the Communist Party of Yugoslavia. People were imprisoned even if they told a joke that the regime did not like. Yes, that was really happening.
Civilians were sent to "re-education" without a trial, by administrative decision, while military personnel were tried in staged trials where they were sentenced to at least three and up to twenty years of rigorous imprisonment.
The treatment that Yugoslav communists organized for their party colleagues and comrades in the 1940s and 1950s was not only brutal, but also morally degrading.
When a new inmate arrived in the gulag, for a "welcome" the old inmates were lined up in two columns in the fence, and the new inmate had to be beaten to unconsciousness. Those camp inmates whom the guards felt did not hit hard enough, had to go through the "bloody path" as well.
Political prisoners and dissidents were considered a danger to Yugoslavia, to socialism and to Marshal Tito.
Convicts died or were killed in various ways, for example:
This documentary exposes the lies of those who managed this prison and shows how they systematically tortured the prisoners who often went there without trial.
The Communist Party was the master of life and death in Yugoslavia, and you went to prison even if you told a joke that the authorities would not like.
Yes, that really happened, and one of the more famous examples was the journalist Zeni Lebl, who ended up on Goli Otok (Bare Island) because of a joke she told about Josip Broz Tito, the dictator who ruled Yugoslavia at the time.
We must never forget this, so that it does not happen again.

Convicts died or were killed in various ways, for example:
- when trying to escape,
- beaten to death
- suicides - who could not or did not want to endure the methods of "re-education" of the UDBA (which were carried out by older prisoners, tasked with physically and mentally abusing the younger ones)
- died by "drowning"
- accidents at work in the quarry
- death from starvation or exhaustion

Unfortunately, another mediocre episode written by mediocre writers. Talent is no longer important in the "entertainment industry" anyway.
Aside from the mostly bad casting, the script is boring and the characters that could have been great were written to fit the standards of a teen soap opera.
All that aside, the Sisterhood is the villain here and Valya is an evil witch who manipulates and kills anyone just to achieve her goal of dominating the realm.
The Emperor is portrayed as a weakling, when in fact he is not a bad person, and his fault is that he allowed himself to be influenced by the evil witches.
After all, Desmond Hart is the only really interesting character. Valya is a truly disgusting character, who shows no remorse, even her sister Tula is better than her, at least she shows some signs of conscience.
Emily Watson is a completely wrong choice for this role, completely hilarious and unconvincing. Olivia Williams would be much better in the role of Valya.
At least Travis Fimmel did the best he could, considering the script is pretty bad. Indeed, the "Sisterhood" is the cause of all evil here, after Valya killed those who disagreed with her, she took control and turned the "Sisterhood" into a disgusting, power-hungry organization.
The fight scenes are bad, and the character of Princess Ynez Corrino is especially hilarious, a spoiled brat who kills the emperor's trained guards and soldiers with ease as if they had no training at all. It's especially funny when she defeats someone twice her size.
Empress Natalya is also not really a villain, but someone who sees what the "Sisterhood" is really like.
This could have even been good, if only the writers were better. Unfortunately, this is just another mediocre series, because, as I said, talent no longer matters in the "entertainment industry", which has almost nothing to do with entertainment anymore anyway.
