I watched the first 10 minutes of it and after my hard on softened, I went to bed. I thought it was utter cr*p (apart from the titties early doors). It wasn't as bas as the half hour doco before it though. Now that was a carp show. That bloke will never be asked to do a doco again.

1st eps always generally suck in these kind of shows.... underbelly was the same

they need to introduce characters and backgrounds before they can move forward

ep2 is a lot better

I thought it was pretty crap to be honest.

It got good ratings though beating out that Packed to the Rafters show which is meant to be popular.

Problem i find sometimes with based on true story series is that you know exactly where the story is going and what will happen to characters. They have to be very good to keep my interest (Underbelly series 1 was great).

definatly wont make it a must see but if i flick and its on ill have a look.

Some good acting but a slow, pedestrian plot.
Apart from the leadership those bikies would have struggled to tie their own shoe laces together, the characters aren't exactly dynamic people. The violence might sustain the show.

I hope so, I watched it and thought it was ok, I'll stick with it I think. Channel 10 talked it up like it was going to be the best show ever and it looks like it disappointed a fair few people.

I didn't think it was that bad. Had a degree of humour in it...

The love story angle got a bit boring.

Certainly a "lighter feel" to it than the first couple of Underbelly's.
