i understand that they are involved in criminal activities and have watched a lot of media content relating to clubs with criminal activities, actually even the "good" clubs are looked at that way in america... but i am talking about the "story" twists and what not... every episode has a super twist and they are in constant peril... no sane man would call that "easy" money and would either quit or be dead... it is not that "real" tbh... it is gritty but insanely unreal when it comes to storylines.. watch "the wire" and "deadwood" or "oz" for some actual deadly gritty gut wrenching realism... SOA is good but i consider "justified" better both in terms of realism and storylines as the twists are slightly in more check... my point is that in real life you do not get that many "twists" in ones life, criminal or not... they are going to jail but cia approaches them and saves them with insane deals... someone runs off with the vp's baby... there are murders revolving around diaries and what not... it is a little too "vampire diaries" for me in terms of storylines... i hope i got my point across, i wasn't saying that this is not how a motorcycle club handles themselves in terms of activities and what not... the "gemma" stuff and many things like that are highly unrealistic i would say, basically things that don't make sense in real life(talking plainly about character development and storylines)
