I tried Devs but fell asleep about halfway through the first episode. Still enjoying it LMA?

Interesting storyline but interest has waned after 4 episodes, I doubt I'll continue. Giving Westworld another crack, couldn't get into it a few years back.

'Based on true events produced by the ABC.
Watched it anyway, does the AGC have a core of 5 actresses that star in 3/5 of all their series?
Cornelia Rau was going to Rooster games around 2008 or so, still spoke with a German accent.

I've watched this, Secret City, Pine Gap, Glitch, Les Norton and Mr Inbetween fairly recently and can't recall seeing the same actresses in too many of them. Some were Foxtel though.

Halfway through it, pretty engrossing so far and some very good performances from a pretty damn impressive cast. Good to see plenty of Adelaide locations as well.

I finished it - really good show
I'd forgotten about Cornelia Rau until the Sheik mentioned her

Informer 3838.

I have never watched any of the underbelly/Fat Tony things before. I did tune in however to Informer 3838 on Monday night.

Really enjoyed it. Has it been made in a similar style to the other under belly series"?

From what I've read, it adopts the same approach as other Underbellies. I'm not sure Nicola Gobbo ever looked as skinny as the lass who's playing her, though.

I tend to agree with you on the skinny bit. I am sure Gobbo would be fairly happy with the actress selection process that saw the girl who is portraying here appointed!

I think living over here has sparked my interest..... one of the gangland hits was in Templestowe.... that about 3 suburbs over from where I live. Makes it seem very real.

Just read a bit about this show, profiles the Thorpe affair in the UK, looks interesting.

Jimmy, dunno if you've seen this related sketch by Peter Cook - absolutely hilarious.

Yes - they showed it at the end of the programme so I checked it out :lol:

The series is as nutty as the Peter Cook parody

Finally got around to finishing the last two seasons of Ray Donovan. Season 5 had started to lose me a bit but 6 and 7 were awesome.

Now I read that Showtime have cancelled the series, when 1 more season would have wrapped it up anyway. Given the show was still rating well it seems an odd move, although no doubt thereā€™d be reasons.

Bloody annoying when you invest in a half decent show and the producers cut it short :evil:
