is that it? Its finished?


it seems like there was this massive gap between the last episode where he was in prison and the final episode. It's like they ran out of money and missed 2 seasons of episodes or something lol

Yeah - episode 6 seemed really rushed. I heard they were only approved to shoot 6 episodes though. I saw some speculation that there will be a season 2 about Falco infiltrating the Mongols.

They definitely left it open at the end. They will probably look at TV ratings before deciding on a Season 2.

It does amaze me that Charles Falco was able to infiltrate the Mongols and Outlaws after being in the Vagos. But if you've read the book, turning this season into 12 episodes may be a bit difficult. A large chunk of the Vagos part of the book dealt with the boredom and stupidity of prospecting. By stupidity I mean the dumb things they have to do, not the stupidity of the idea of prospecting.

If I remember right the Vagos were basically defeated following the convictions based on Falco's evidence. If I remember right from the book, I believe some chapters defected to other 1%er MCs. Granted, I may be confusing Jay Dobyns's, Billy Queen's and Charles Falco's books. The reason I say this, is that I know the Hells Angels have a copyright on the Death Head insignia and actually go to court to get trademark infringement suits settled. So it could be that since the Vagos are basically (or maybe entirely) dead, there is no copyright for their logo.

However, the Mongols are still quite strong from what I know. So I would assume that they have a trademark on their logo and the Outlaws are strong in certain areas still and likely have the trademark on their logo. By presenting this as based on a true story, to continue with the rest of the book, you either need to have permission to use their logo (which since it makes them the bad guys, I doubt you'd get it) or make up fake MCs for him to infiltrate which then further deviates its from the based on a true story.

Though with it being a Canadian production, I do anticipate it will somehow continue right through to his move to Canada to work with the RCMP. I forget the details and I'd rather not spoil the entire story, but he did have involvement in the Quebec Biker Wars to some degree.

Yeah, plenty of story to tell.

What's the name of the book your talking about? I've read a couple of other posts on here talking about how the show was different from the book, so was just wondering what the book was called.

reply

The book that this show is based on is called "Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws". Written by Charles Falco himself and Kerrie Droban. Cover price is $15.99 US and $18.50 Canadian, but you can find it cheap on Amazon, with used copies being even cheaper.

It's a good read. Fleshes out what we watched on TV a hell of a lot more.
