Underbelly

[Peter Parka]

Has anyone else been watching this drama series? It's on FX over here so I'm guessing its probably been on American tv too. Its one of the best things I've seen on telly for a while. I was suprised at how good it is seeing that the cast reads like a whos who of Neighbours and Home and Away actor. Its about the real Melbourne gang war of the late 90's - 00's. You really couldn't make it up, it's kind of like a cross between Goodfellas and Lock stock and two smoking barrels. I highly recommend it!:nod:

From what I can tell, it's Australian. I couldn't find it here in the US. Sounds like my kind of show, though.

Yeah, its Australian though its probably the hardest to watch over there as there were all sorts of injunctions to stop it being show because the trials are still going on from the fallout from this. This is the trailer for it.

best show re real life gangsters to hit the tv screen- you can also buy the set of each series as they end.

No it wasn't.

It was only 'banned' in Victoria (Where this whole thing occured) for the shows orignial run. Everyone in other states could watch it.
