DiO 4730 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 So a friend told me to watch this show. Done the first 3 seasons. Its about crime in Australia. Based on actual events. Each season is a different case. A lot of killing in it. And since its based on real events it is very unpredictable. Pretty often there is a character that gets a lot of screen time and you think like any other show they will be the lead. But then they get locked up or killed. I was wondering if anyone has seen it. Surely our aussie members Darth Sexy or HWB know it. Underbelly is a 13-part Australian television mini-series that retells the real events of the 1995–2004 gangland war in Melbourne, and is the first series in the larger Underbelly Franchise. It depicts the key players in Melbourne's criminal underworld, including the Carlton Crew and their rival, Carl Williams. The series is based on the book Leadbelly: Inside Australia's Underworld, by The Age journalists John Silvester and Andrew Rule,[1] and is produced by the Australian Film Finance Corporation,[2] in association with Film Victoria.[3] The executive producers are Des Monaghan and Jo Horsburgh.[2] It's like an Australian sopranos. My only problem with the show is there is too much sex and boobs filler. Might make me sound gay but If i wanted to wank I'd watch hardcore porn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 1st season was great, the 2nd season was full of waaaay too much Matthew Newton arse scenes, and the 3rd season was decent. I didn't see much of Underbelly Razor (the 4th season), but it was set in the 20's, I think. There were also a couple of movie length Underbellys, but they weren't very good, imo. True Story: The 1st season wasn't aired in Victoria (where the 1st season's events occured) because there were ongoing court cases involving the characters on the show. Also, if you're interested in Australian crime drama, check out 'Animal Kingdom' and 'Snowtown', two really good movies released in the last couple of years. You sounded gay long before this topic. Also, I haven't seen Sexy around in ages. Yeah, he hasn't been here since January. He added me when I sent him a friend request on xbox live the other day, so he's still around. Is it any good though? Like D-O said, there is a bit too much sex in the show. I think they took on HBO's mantra "Sex scenes every 10 minutes = more in depth and intellectual". Once you get past that, it's a pretty decent show, especially compared to 95% of Australian "drama".. It's not going to change your life, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustAn808 130 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 I've only seen the first season when the series premiered a long time ago. After that, I couldn't get into the second. They showed it in the US on a network exclusive to DirecTV...can't remember what it is though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IDK if it is airing but I watch it off the internet. I ask friends what are good shows to watch and he mentioned it. And yah I heard how it wasnt aired in Victoria. And a couple of times they show the mug shots of certain characters after they get locked up and there is a caption at the bottom of the screen saying some shit about how legally they wheren't allowed to name the characters. Is it any good though? yup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
