The script by Evan Wright, Seth Fisher and Nick Schenk bristles with appealing gee-whiz energy, and the performances by Huisman, Aramayo and Hall, as well as those of the supporting cast, are perfectly in tune with the retro sensibility of the film. Read full review

The series does a competent job of setting mood and character--notably that anything is possible, the sky’s the limit drive of the early 20th century that animated great inventions, and consequently great fortunes. Read full review

The miniseries, allegedly based in fact, is one great big advertorial for the company, not that it doesn’t have its pleasures, chief among them some thrilling road contests that suggest the chariot races of “Ben-Hur.” Read full review

This is hog hagiography, pure and simple. It's three nights of American vehicular heroism. Read full review

Strong performances and an ambitious scope are underserved by disjointed pacing and a scattered focus in Discovery Channel's new miniseries Harley and the Davidsons. Read full review

Everything else is kind of a mess: The story never fully makes sense, and the characters are rarely fleshed out. It’s hard to begrudge the motorcyclists their fun, but Harley and the Davidsons is a historical production that doesn’t feel authentic in any capacity. Read full review

The series drops plot threads faster than the Harley prototype leaked oil, but it makes up for a lot (including hokey dialogue and predictable story turns) with thrilling race sequences. Read full review

It isn't all that bad as some would make it up to be; the problem was that it gave too much focus on one thing e.g. racing while leaving one key founding member, in this case "Big Bill" Davidson, by the wayside, as I expected all four of them to be given equal focus in the story.

Another thing was that I did notice a number of inaccuracies, like when Robert Aramayo's character nicknamed their new engine the "Knucklehead", even if the latter term wasn't actually used by the company at the time.… Expand
