Is anyone watching this on Discovery? It is a show where Discovery follows some of the Boston underground sports betting crew. The South Boston crew is tied to Whitey Bulger. When they asked about the connection, they got kicked out of the meeting with the head guy Pat.
It is awesome and so stereotypical of Boston.
Good stuff on the underground sports betting world.
I have no idea how they got this much access.

Haven't seen it, but entirely possible you are actually watching re-enactments. DSC is fairly notorious for doing that. But from my perspective, fact-based re-enactments are still far more truthful than scripted reality shows.ptown_trojans_1;1481884 wrote: I have no idea how they got this much access.

Reality TV isn't really real.

Ehh, some of it is. Much of it is reality with staged situations, which IMO isn't entirely dishonest but actually a notch below re-enactments.said_aouita;1481926 wrote:Reality TV isn't really real.
