Info

This drama series is a fictionalized retelling of the story of meth dealer-turned-ATF informant Charles Falco, who spent three years inside one of America's most dangerous motorcycle gangs, the Vagos. Although Falco originally took on the assignment to avoid spending 20 years in prison on drug charges, it eventually evolved into a quest for justice for him. “Gangland Undercover” documents the lives of outlaw bikers, who live in a world in which respect is earned through fear. The series is based on Falco's memoir, “Vagos, Mongols, and Outlaws,” and documented historical research of gang rivalries.

Gangland Undercover Audience Reviews

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Sof Rex It's the first time I write a review, and believe you me I did not see any series more Perfect than this show at all. Sure there is ups and downs for every TV-show, but this one is just so "PERFECT". The acting is "PERFECT", the production is "PERFECT", through the whole show you feel like you're living the story, the music is on point, and this show as a whole is a "MASTERPIECE". I'm really hoping for a 3rd season.
jpkinf I think the actors all do a great job getting into character. Thanks to everyone for showing support for our veterans and service members. Episode 1 season 2. It means a lot to us veterans and military people when actors include respect and support in shows.Especially in biker clubs I have never met a member from any club that when they heard I was a veteran didn't come up and give there respect to me. And are always looking to do military benefit rides and for the fallen soldiers. Oh and just wanted to say spider( Justin Mader) and crowbar (Shawn Benson) you guys are great at these roles. Thanks again the veteran..... Just a thought Maybe put a episode together where the clubs or club do escort a solder to his final resting place.or something just a idea.
Gretel1006 I ended up watching episode 1 only because it came on after Vikings. I enjoy watching TV shows/movies that are based on true life. (I do go into these knowing that some leeway has to be given to the facts so that it can make for good TV viewing.). So I was pretty interested in checking out "Falco's" undercover life to see real-life danger and a world that is completely different than my own. (I say "Falco" because he can't actually share his real name due to possible biker retaliation.)As I watched this episode it kept cutting away to have the real Falco narrate the story. It seemed quite disruptive and irritating especially when it happened during a tense action scene. I just wanted to be able to watch the characters interact - to get to the meat. I remember thinking that The History Channel really messed up what could have been an otherwise great TV show. I ended up giving it a second chance and I am glad I did. The show continued to have Falco give a personal accounting, but they were able to make it flow more smoothly into the story. And actually, I appreciated having more insight into what he was thinking and feeling. The show really picked up.I just watched episode 6......What?! That's it? Even though Falco spent 3 years of his life infiltrating this often vicious gang it gets condensed down to 6 shows? What a disappointment. I would think that given the huge success of Sons of Anarchy that there would be tons of people wanting to see into the real existence of a Biker Club/gang. It's confusing that they only put out 6 episodes. But, 6 episodes is all we get. Irregardless I do really like the TV show and obviously wouldn't be disappointed if I hadn't enjoyed it. Setting aside my sadness, when I look at the cohesiveness of the episodes, they seem to be lacking some key information. If this wasn't based on a real life story and was a work of fiction, it would seem really lacking. It was pretty incredible to see the dire situations that Falco got into and to see how well he thought on his feet and how he managed to get out of the hot-seat. It was good to see a more realistic view on the biker lifestyle. Another positive is that it didn't portray a romanticized version of being an outlaw like SOA often did, but made sure to point out the criminal activities. I would be happy to find out that The History Channel is going to have another season and show Falco's next undercover assignment. I believe he infiltrated biker clubs/gangs a total of 2 or 3 times.
margosanci There is a chance that these series could give something different in the field of TV screened undercover stories. You have a person with real problems, a drug dealer who hits rock bottom and you have a fear, a lot of fear that this bottom has a hole. Potential 20 years in jail is wasted life time in hell, pure punishment with no other meaning, no future. And there is another way - through the bottom of the very dangerous people and his own. This pit is dip, dipper than his worst nightmare dreams, but there is no easier way out. He chooses to face the demons right away, in order to make amends for his mistakes from the past. In the end, there is one question left to be answered: if he ever comes back, who will he be... in the end. I am eager to find out!
