Dog deep down in his heart believes... and no matter if you agree or disagree with him, you have to respect him for believing.
You also have to respect people who make their living being the grease that makes the legal system run. Without bailbondsmen, the US jail system would be overflowing with people pending trial, and the bill would be dropped directly on taxpayer's heads.
These guys do a tough business with risky people, and have to protect their assets in the most basic way, by scooping up the people who are jumping.
I am rarely comfortable with people preaching god, and I am even less so when they have someone in handcuffs. These people are truly creepy at that point, making me wonder what A&E was thinking when they got into this. I have noticed though that as things have gone on, the god angle has been played down a bit and replaced with a bit more action, which is probably not a bad thing.
From a video production standpoint, there stuff is pretty darn good, they really get some good shots and some good interaction. This isn't the bullshit artifcial reality shows like American Chopper ("I told vinnie, I didn't think we could get this one done in time!". There is some creative editing in there, but few story changing punches. They rarely let a personal story arc overwhelm the main story of chasing down a jumper, which is good.
They are a weird bunch... but would you watch a show about 5 normal people?
