Guys on motorcycles. A motorcycle gang. These things usually do not interest me. I went into this series with plenty of hesitation. Lo and behold, I ended up loving it. Because though the backbone of the story is a California motorcycle gang a la Hells Angels it is mostly about interpersonal relations. How these people get along, family issues, power struggles and life and death. Tales are interwoven with nimble fingers bringing everything together in one delightful package. Hold on to your handlebars as this second to last season is quite a ride.
