    Great show! As good if not better than Sons of Anarchy!

    My boss recommended this show to me when season 1 out. It was one of the few shows that I made sure I watched on the History Channel every week when it was airing. Of course true story's or storys based on true events are always better in my opinion. I've now finished the 8 episodes for Season 2 and of course, it ends on a cliffhanger. If anyone from History channel reads this for some reason, please get on renewing it for that 3rd season. Otherwise ill have to read the book. I don't like reading and this show is too good to cancel.

    This comment are for those who want are skeptical or if this show is worth it.This mini-series is something new and tired wasted or boring. Kept my attention almost every minute. If you're tired of reality shows, recycled story lines from boring movies, then this is the show for you. I felt like I was watching a well directed, acted, and creative story. I usually only watch a couple of hours of TV because it is soooo predictable. However, I just caught this show because I thought the title was interesting. I could stop watching I sat there for at least five hours unheard for me.

    I ended up watching episode 1 only because it came on after Vikings. I enjoy watching TV shows/movies that are based on true life. (I do go into these knowing that some leeway has to be given to the facts so that it can make for good TV viewing.). So I was pretty interested in checking out "Falco's" undercover life to see real-life danger and a world that is completely different than my own. (I say "Falco" because he can't actually share his real name due to possible biker retaliation.)As I watched this episode it kept cutting away to have the real Falco narrate the story. It seemed quite disruptive and irritating especially when it happened during a tense action scene. I just wanted to be able to watch the characters interact - to get to the meat. I remember thinking that The History Channel really messed up what could have been an otherwise great TV show. I ended up giving it a second chance and I am glad I did. The show continued to have Falco give a personal accounting, but they were able to make it flow more smoothly into the story. And actually, I appreciated having more insight into what he was thinking and feeling. The show really picked up.I just watched episode 6......What?! That's it? Even though Falco spent 3 years of his life infiltrating this often vicious gang it gets condensed down to 6 shows? What a disappointment. I would think that given the huge success of Sons of Anarchy that there would be tons of people wanting to see into the real existence of a Biker Club/gang. It's confusing that they only put out 6 episodes. But, 6 episodes is all we get. Irregardless I do really like the TV show and obviously wouldn't be disappointed if I hadn't enjoyed it. Setting aside my sadness, when I look at the cohesiveness of the episodes, they seem to be lacking some key information. If this wasn't based on a real life story and was a work of fiction, it would seem really lacking. It was pretty incredible to see the dire situations that Falco got into and to see how well he thought on his feet and how he managed to get out of the hot-seat. It was good to see a more realistic view on the biker lifestyle. Another positive is that it didn't portray a romanticized version of being an outlaw like SOA often did, but made sure to point out the criminal activities. I would be happy to find out that The History Channel is going to have another season and show Falco's next undercover assignment. I believe he infiltrated biker clubs/gangs a total of 2 or 3 times.
