So, EZ is the hero of this series. He goes back and forth between being the guy with a heart to being an insane killer. He told somebody, a few seasons ago that his mother saw him for what he was and tried to save him from himself by exposing him to art. Angel asked his Pops , "What did you do to make God rain destruction down on us?", and maybe that's what the whole thing is about: Felipe having lost his own soul killing for the cartel, so his boys are all doomed; Miguel, EZ, and Angel.
This story is so much darker than it appears if you only see a few episodes. The Mayans all seem to have a fatal flaw in their characters, making them willing ti kill each other over trivial things at first and that makes them go to war with each other. Marcus seems to have set the club up this way when he stepped down and appointed three chapter presidents as a group called "3 Kings". They all three immediately started betraying each other and now it has come to be what we're seeing now: a war of all against all.
The unimaginative gunfights and the unbelievable plotting keeps this from being a much better story than it can be, though it still beats SOA. That ain't a high bar to hurdle, though. It's still watchable to me, though a lot of reviewers have said they can't stand it any more.
