I'm sure the next few ep's will lay some solid foundations down so it doesn't hide in the shadow of the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 10/02/09 03:32 AM Share Posted 10/02/09 03:32 AM Haven't seen the other one cause I watch foxtel or nothing. Only turned on 9 last night because I knew Underbelly was on...Hopefully the painters & dockers play a big part in the series. They were a crazy bunch & could make for some interisting viewing!

They could of shown a little more of the bad stuff before getting the hero copper involved that 'will not stop' until he catches the bad guys!I think they could of shown a little more of the uprise of the kiwi bloke too... I mean, he brings one load of hammer back with him from Asia and then he buys a house for $150k cash? Could of shown him doing a few deals before he was a big player!Maybe im just being critical. Loved the first series, will watch this one with interest and it seems its going to get better.The gals seem half decent too which is a bonus.I know the other show ya talkin about Mat - Not sure what its called, I thought it was a bit more doco/factual than a Drama though?

Looks pretty interesting. Not sure if its only aussie based gangs or not? Interesting stuff. Bit like some of the Loius Theroix stuffConsidering he had 3 or 4 wives and numerous girlfriends in real life, lets hope plenty more cans!Considering the series is the 10 or so years from mid 70-80's, it'll surely have to take us to UK where he was imprisoned and died?Only watch about 4 hours of tv a week. This and Prison Break are they only must watch shows lol Edited 10/02/09 04:24 AM by Mat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-SPEC You are a dead set goose Silver Donating Members 3,968 Member For: 19y 2m Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 10/02/09 04:54 AM Share Posted 10/02/09 04:54 AM Yeah I didn't mind it. Definately good to watch and I think Newton's doing a good job.A friend of mine works for Mick Gatto and mentioned they all had a big whinge about him being in some areas in the show he never actually was back then, but you get that with a made up storey line about actual events...
