Wonderful character development!

recommended

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I have watched the entire series since the beginning. It used to be a great show, then all it was was screaming, yelling, fighting and stupid deadlines. The newest 2018 episode starts out with Paul Sr. not being able to assemble a set of front forks. So he calls up Paul Jr. and asks for help. WHAT? Just 3 minutes earlier they were talking about how Paul Sr. had been in the business for 40 something years, owns one of the most successful (independent shops) in the motorcycle building business world, and he can't assemble some forks? He doesn't have an employee on staff in his huge shop who can assemble forks? And they "conveniently capture this moment on camera? Later in the episode Sr. is showing his latest build to the Casino managers who ordered the bike and they have a look of concern on their faces, and one of them says.. "We need to talk"... then they go to commercial... Oh the drama, I was so glued to the TV... geesh,, when they came back the casino manager basically said, We love it, we love it so much we want you to build us a second bike. Sr, also decides to pressure test a gas tank, WHY? Why Sr, at that moment when the cameras are rolling? Of course disaster occurs and the tank over-expands causing more drama and more time crunch issues. If Sr. doesn't know how to pressure test a gas tank after 40 plus years in the business, an isn't smart enough to let his people do the work they were hired for, he shouldn't be on TV. Especially when these staged/scripted scenes go on and on. And yes, in the upcoming episodes, we see Sr, yelling, screaming and threatening his staff. Whether it's real, staged, fake or whatever remains to be seen. Just not by me. I have already programmed my DVR to no record any more episodes. Just show some cool bike building and reveals. The Paul Sr. yelling, got old 10 years ago.

All of their designs are great. Most of the people who vote on this kind of thing are wannabees, but not me or other people who gave you good ratings. The show is about a family that builds choppers. The stupid thing is that every idiot thinks that they are located in Orange County, California. When really they are located in Orange County, New York. They have designed many awesome bikes including one for Wendy's. Who ever thinks that this show sucks is a fat, nut-job person that's 40, and lives with his mother. Only true lovers of choppers will really understand, and admire this show. I do think though Paul Sr. should retire from the shop.

The Discovery Channel provides great insight to creativity and mechanical fabrication. So the hosts are Simpsons-like in their family dysfunction, but look at the wonderful creations that are assembled, the use of design tools, and imagination (how ever it is induced). Though I am not a cycle rider/owner for physical handicap reasons, the show offers a fine view of the custom fabrication shop environment that can be enjoyed by anyone with a notion of mechanical fabrication curiosity. Justice is served well by the Discovery Channel for bringing the the Teutul's obnoxious creativity in to our living rooms. Personally having a background in fabrication (auto & aircraft) it is a treat to see the Teutul family dysfunction coupled with mechanical ingenuity displayed in one hour vignettes. Ride on boys!

I love "Orange County Choppers"! I was channel surfing one day and noticed Paul Sr., stopped on the channel and decided to watch it for a bit. I haven't missed a show yet. I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching the crew work together. Paul Jr. and Dad. They are the best. The bikes are beautiful, such a work of art. When I know a show is going to be on, at a time I can watch, I rush home and turn on the TV. It is like watching friends. I feel like I know them. Reality shows are not me, but this one, what can I say. It is different. I am your "PR" gal. I tell everyone about the show. The only thing left for me to do is meet Paul Sr. I have always loved bikes. Thank you again, for this great show.Sharon Grass Valley CA
