The Devil's Ride

If you are into high quality shows, and expect accurate depictions of what is being advertised, this is NOT for you. Also, if your interests include documentaries about criminal organizations and true crime events, you will be disappointed by this show.

After finding an article online about a "twitter beef" between Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter, and one of these guys from the "Laffing Devils MC", I got extremely excited! My bf and I had just finished watching all SOA episodes, and I was going through withdrawal. Naturally, when I read about some "hard ass" guy threatening to take Jax's white sneakers (which now sounds ridiculous), all I could do was run home to watch these true life MC guys. I blame myself. I work w gang members and other individuals in a forensic setting, and therefore have a pretty good understanding of how these types of organizations work. Why did I think a real MC club would allow cameras? WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?! I think the real heart breaker was that I didn't expect it. If you watch any other reality TV shows, you know what you're getting; nobody expects deep insight from the Kardashian's, or to learn social skills from the Jersey Shore people. Again, my fault.

I came to IMDb looking for reviews to make sure I wasn't crazy, and sure enough, the previous reviews do a great job explaining why it's so awful. In this show, you will find no-that-cool guys (although I agree with the guy who gave them 3 stars just for riding bikes), with terrible acting skills, and a horrifying script (because yes, it IS scripted). If you decide to watch, keep your expectations very, very low.

First off I want to start out by saying that I am a big history buff who enjoys most programs that focus on crime or any other outlaw society. I therefore was shocked when I saw a piece of this show by accident on T.V. Out law biker gangs are ruthless criminals who do not play by the rules, who do not engage in a "normal" society, and who do not play nice with others. The men on this television series are nothing but a bunch of suburban sissy's who got together, bought little leather vests, put on some patches, tattooed some dumb ass coy fish on their arms, and want to play hells angel on the weekend. The number one rule of any "real" criminal organization is secrecy, because without it most members would be behind bars. This show just shows these bent men engaging in gossip behind closed doors about who should be the leader of their obviously fake biker gang. Every aspect of the show (as much as I saw) was obviously staged, a conclusion that I am positively sure about because if these D-bags were a real gang then it would take about 1 day for the hells angels, sons of silence, pagans, outlaws, or any other organization to wipe these people off television forever. Overall this shows brings me back to my overall opinion of current network television. The people who think of these shows on discovery, history channel, true TV, and spike are now unable to generate any original ideas of there own. The original purpose of these networks can be derived from their names. Instead of teaching, exploring, and entertaining citizens around the world, they have resulted to making spin offs of shitty reality t.v. shows because somehow there true passion for television has been lost. Overall, do not waste your time on this show, IT BLOWS!!!!

I give it a three points because if you ride anything, you're better than 99% of the haters who just flap their lips and talk trash, so they get three points on that alone. But that's it. The show made me embarrassed to watch. From the "old ladies" imagining themselves rubbing shoulders with Mafia Wives at some imaginary reality show dinner, to the guys themselves who, despite their dangerous looks, would be quite at comfortable walking through the mall buying school clothes for their daughters and shopping at Costco for bulk rate toilet paper. All the posturing and "keep it moving copper" talk is like high school boys who smoke cigarettes and imagine themselves dangerous. Any one of them act as if they could bounce me from here to Tijuana, but that's the thing...it's an act. Flying colors and getting 86'd. Oooo! We got some bad asses over here! Guys, ride home, fire up the BBQ and drink in the driveway while your kids ride bicycles up and down the cul de sac. The tough biker guy thing isn't working and you should be ashamed to sign onto that show. (ps_ I rode with some guys back in the 90's, called The Flying Squirrels. We weren't tough but then again, we never pretended to be.)

These guys should be embarrassed to even consider themselves as a motorcycle club not to mention being on national TV and showing everyone how much of a joke they really are. These guys try to act big and bad but you can clearly tell by watching them that they are all talk. There has never been a TV crew to follow members of The Hells Angels, Bandidos, Pagans or the Mongols because they are not dumb and do not want the public to know so much information about their motorcycle club. I will be really surprised if the Discovery Channel gives these guys a 2nd season but if they do get a 2nd one then their must be a lot of gullible people out there that would find anything exciting that they watch on TV.

Do yourself a favor and do not even watch it to see how dumb it is because it's not worth it.

This show is absolutely ridiculous! Do not watch it if you're not into totally fake reality biker gang shows! This is the DUMBEST show I've ever seen! Their talking about killing people on camera? Do yourself a favor and watch it one time for a good hard laugh. The thing about this show is, it's supposed to be real... Why the heck is this even allowed on television? Their all just a bunch of wannabe thugs or really bad actors. Their all white and one guys name is White Boi... Not really sure whats up with that but ya a bunch of clowns!!!! Like it's not even semi believable. The lowest level guys back talk their leader, raise their voices, and go against what he says with no repercussions! Loyalty does not seem to exist in this "gang". THIS SHOW IS A REALLY BAD JOKE
