I was very interested in some of the stories and ideas presented in this show. i have always found realist details to organized crime fascinating as many people do. the start of this show seemed prity realistic and reasonable. however as time went on and i watch episodes like "Fracking Hell" and couldn't help but to feel like i was watching actors dressed up as criminals putting on there best criminal face. living and growing up in California around the San Bernardo area Where the Hells Angels first appears in history as a bicker gang. having met and had the opportunity to hang out with people like Sonny Berger as a child and latter many others. i know that first a bicker always represents his club and would not appear claiming ownership over a crime organization in a area claimed by a gang unless he was appearing with out proper permission from the gang and witch would cause him problems latter down the line. This show is very unreal and not very authentic. national geographic has a reputation that should not include FAKE-UMENTRIEDS.
i would also like to respond to the other review that has been written. the review about the prostitution and how the trade varies from Holland and the USA. As someone who has spent much time in the Netherlands and expectantly in Amsterdam i have to tell you that you are correct about the pimping and the organized sex trade as far as unions and the likes go. however prostitution is not pity in any way no matter how organized it may be. my first experience in Amsterdam in the red light district was seeing a woman with bruises up her lag that resembled track marks. this was a woman in a window who was legally working. the statements you are making is like saying just because there are drugs tolerated in Amsterdam then there is no illegal drugs sold in Amsterdam and that is a very ignorant and uninformed statement to make. illegal drugs are just as popular in Amsterdam as they are anywhere else.
