Underbelly

[Leaping Lindner]

Haven't caught up with much advance stuff of the show (or events of the era), what year was it supposed to be set in?

Im guessing mid-80's and I was shocked to discover how long it took for wheely bins to reach Adelaide

I wouldn't take this as gospel. The producers are not known for attention when it comes to time frames. There was even a scene where the woman was getting 20c pieces out to pay for a drink and one was clearly a late Elizabeth obverse (1999 onwards). The last series was riddled with time line errors as well.

Great mo. Reminded me of the Beastie Boys video for Sabotage, Cochise I think the dude's name was

[Jimmy_041]

All in all, it was OK.

Not sure that it is meant to be a documentary so you can expect some leeway in fact

I used to go to the X back in those days - it was pretty dangerous - certainly a different place now

Nice set on Kim Hollingworths sister last night when she was giving the massage

[Turbo]

Just heard that Carl Williams has been bashed to death in jail..the saga continues

Said to my husband last night - "wonder what series 4 could/would be about"

[Dogwatcher]

Boring. I'm not warming to the characters at all.
Funny to say but they haven't much charm.
Just seem stupid.

We like gangster shows because of the bravado, charm, swagger and fearlessness they show.
This lot don't have it.

[Bum Crack]

I agree. I think it's crap. Terrible acting.

Don't think I blinked for that 20 seconds or so.

Quite enjoying it personally, finding it a fascinating depiction of stories that I followed with a great deal of interest when it first became apparent.

Was rumoured that series four will cover Sir Joh and The Fitzgerald Inquiry.

[Gozu]

I didn't even bother watching last night's episode. The first episode was boring and glorified that Ibrahim guy way too much. Sadly this is what happens with FTA networks, they stumble across something that "works" and then proceed to bleed every last drop out of it they can. The first series was good, the second was pretty ordinary and this one looks even worse.

I read that they've already come up with the 4th series concept...

[mighty_tiger_79]

Has anyone been following the YouTube series of Underbenny?

Yes - I have a very keen interest in this series as does my wife who was stationed at Kings Cross at the same time that the infamous "Chook" Fowler was in Charge of the Detectives. Prior to that she worked in Central when Rogerson was moved from Armed Robbers back to General Detectives. Some of the "stories" that she relays about both those blokes and their cronies (and verified by her collegues at the time - some who are still serving NSW Police) are very "interesting" indeed!

Anyone who can remember the "reality" expose aired on the ABC re the NSW Police about 15 yrs ago called "Cop it Sweet" will have some small insight in to the mindset of the NSW Police Force in general back in those days!

If you haven't seen Blue Murder, I recommend you watch it. Great show.

If someone other than Nine has the rights to Blue Murder they should show it in competition with Underbelly XLVIII. Nine would be screaming Blue Murder because that is the best Aussie true crime show ever and they'd take an absolute bath in the ratings.
