There's a lot to address in Season 3 of Mayans MC, which returns to FX on March 16. Not only has the death of Dita (Ada Maris) rattled a number of characters and relationships on the series, but EZ's (JD Pardo) status within the Mayans club has changed. In the first two seasons of the series, he was merely a prospective member. Now, as a full-patch member of the gang, he's gaining status."It changes [the dynamic] drastically because now he's a part of the conversation," Pardo told GameSpot. "You know, he's at the table. He's a part of the decision making process. His relationship has changed with all the other brothers. He's a brother. He's considered part of the family. So there's a comfort that comes with that. There's a settling in that comes with that, you know? It's like when you're trying out to make a team, you're on edge. And once you make the team, you feel like you can relax a little bit. And I think that can speak to EZ's journey, and Season 3 is that. He's starting to get comfortable, he's starting to relax."Of course, being at the table and being part of the conversation is going to change his relationship with one character more than any other; his brother, Angel (Clayton Cardenas). However, that's not a bad thing.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Vintage lenses… it's very similar to the original film."Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
