I can live with that!

I liked this documentary is because I am originally from that area and I know how life is for a bail-bondsman. Tom Evangelista, the hard-core tough tempered, but very understanding boss of his own company knows how to get the job done. Flo is the boss of the household, who can easily tame Tom in a single heartbeat. And I wonder who I should fear first? Having the older son and nephew working with him will definitely making things easier for him right? Wrong! His in-laws help but sometimes wanting to strike out on ones own can complicate things in the process. When you're family, things will always work out for everyone. The family can party, wisecrack, spat, but love is always the factor, and that what keeps the family together. And as for Tom, "Get another van!" and use the original as a back up. Never sell it or junk it. If it's beyond saving. This is one of favorite do-cu-dramas HBO has ever made. I can't wait for the second season of it!
