All fictional crime groups are likely to have some basis in reality, or at least have several points of similarity. That’s exactly the case with the gang at the center of the hit series Peaky Blinders, which follows the Shelby crime family based in Birmingham, England. Though loosely, the Shelby family is based on the real-life street gang from whi...

Narcos: Mexicowas meant to be the fourth season of the parent series, but an executive decision was made to produce it as a separate series entirely. Where Narcos outlined the rise of the Colombian drug trade, Narcos: Mexico did the same for, well, the Mexican drug trade.

FX’s Sons of Anarchyis a bit of a different one from the previous shows on the list; the group at the center isn’t the type that’ll pop into your head immediately despite their intimidating presence both in the United States and around the world. The group is called the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Original, or SAMCRO, a gun-running vigi...

Even after Sons of Anarchy ended its run on FX, the show had garnered a big enough following to warrant a spin-off. Thus came Mayans M.C., which takes place in the same fictional universe as its predecessor series and is set to premiere its fourth season in 2022. Taking from its name, Mayans M.C.primarily follows the Mayans Motorcycle Club, which f...
