Two-week non-ratings period over Easter, so the station not wasting first-run episodes out of ratings. As such, look forward to about 76 hours of funniest home videos over the next 10 days


Or even worse "20 to 1". WTF is that S**t? Re hashed old TV footage with "celebrities" making zany comments about it.

Straight after last night's ep, whacked on Blue Murder.

Just to compare the two scenes where Brian Alexander gets knocked off.

Similar in content but miles apart in execution.

But I have to admit - I might've got it all wrong about Underbelly.

Last night's ep made it crystal clear: it's a comedy.

Isn't it? It isn't?

I reckon the story is actually more intriguing in season 2. Season 1 was 'cooler' and as the events were more recent and the names better known I can appreciate why some people preferred the 1st to the 2nd...

The level of corruption in the current series is mind boggling... :shock:

I am wondering if there was a straight cop in NSW at all in the 70's

Well series two comes to an end.

I actually ended up enjoying it as much as series one, once I got my head around it.

I think the last line there last night is a hint on what the third series will be about (If there is one)
As the voice over says "But that's a whole other story"

I missed the very end because my recording ran out :roll:

Last bit I saw was the cops talking to Donald Mackay's widow with footage of them tracking down "Fred".
Was Fred arrested and was there much after that?

I was a bit disappointed with the final episode. Lacked any real punch... Hopefully the next one tells the story of the corrupt NSW cops coming undone....

Overall though, a brilliant series once again. Chwis Fwannewy was my favourite character... ;)

I thought the series was a bit weak and clearly inferior to either the first series or Blue Murder. Supposedly the third one is going to be subtitled 'Chopper vs. Gangiatano'. That would be interesting.

Im pretty sure the next series covers the 'end' of the corruptness in NSW police, demise of George freeman and links in the 1st series. Via the Carlton krew etc
