I think it's a pretty bad ass series. The series finale is tonight!
"Me llaman el desaparecido
Que cuando llega ya se ha ido
Volando vengo, volando voy
Deprisa deprisa a rumbo perdido"

I agree with the OP, that it's been a bad ass series for the past 7 years. But, I was disappointed in last night's finale. I thought there could have been a better way to resolve things than the way it played out. In my opinion, last week's episode was much better.

I personally think it sucked balls. The only believable biker characters are Opie, Otto, Tig, Luann and Gemma. Even suspending my disbelief over its lack of authenticity, the plot is convoluted and dumb and the music is downright terrible.
Can anyone recommend more realistic or at least better scripted biker movies and/or TV Shows?

Agree, I dont understand the love for this show, its fking shite
Good biker movie that I recall was this about an undercover cop infiltrating a biker gang, based on a true story. Charlie Sheen is the lead and its worth a watch:

Smith enlisted in the Air Force in 1951 where his articulation of multiple foreign languages attracted the interest of the National Security Agency. From there, Smith was involved in covert flying missions during the Korean War till it ended in 1953.
After his tour in the military, Smith then returned to his studies graduating cum laude at UCLA ultimately teaching Russian there. Fiercely competitive, Smith was extremely involved in sporting activities especially bodybuilding; a sport in which he won various titles and holds several records. These include, among others, a record for discus throwing, performing 5,100 continuous sit ups, reverse curling his own body weight, arm wrestling champion and also a Black Belt in martial arts.
If all that wasn't enough, Smith had originally intended to continue his career with the US government while completing his doctorate studies. But a studio contract with MGM came calling and Smith soon found himself inundated with an incredible amount of work on assorted television programs such as THE VIRGINIAN, GUNSMOKE and DANIEL BOONE. His lifelong love of horses was a natural progression into westerns and a passion that helped him immensely in the many small screen sagebrush shows he appeared in.

...Before he was an actor, he was an intelligence officer, and had, as they used to say, a good war, attached to the Special Operations Executive, or the "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare", responsible for espionage and sabotage in occupied Europe. Afterwards, Lee stayed on to hunt down Nazi war criminals. Back in London in 1946, he lunched with a Continental cousin, now the Italian Ambassador to the Court of St James's, and confessed he had no idea what to do next, except that he had no desire to return to his pre-war job as a switchboard operator at the pharmaceutical company Beecham's. "Why don't you become an actor?" suggested the Ambassador. So he did. Two years later he was a spear carrier in Laurence Olivier's Hamlet, in which he met another up-and-comer playing Osric, Peter Cushing.

...By now, Lee, in his mid-eighties, had more work than ever. On the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, he was the only member of the cast who'd actually known Tolkien. Yet my favorite moment in the series isn't even on camera, but in the DVD commentary. It's the scene on top of the tower where Lee's Saruman gets stabbed in the back by Grima Wormtongue, for which the director, Peter Jackson, wanted Lee to let out a scream.
The actor felt obliged to explain to Sir Peter why that would be all wrong. He proposed to let out a small groan, a quiet gasp, as the air is pushed out of his punctured lungs. The director was resistant, so Lee said: "Peter, have you ever heard the sound a man makes when he's stabbed in the back?"
"Um, no," replied Jackson.
"Well, I have," said Lee, "and I know what to do.'" And from somewhere deep in the recesses of his memory an old SOE agent conjured the sound a Nazi makes when you plunge the knife in.
A full life, on-screen and off.
