Solid Aussie drama. All actors in good form, but top marks go to to Kat, who plays Roberta - hilarious. Vince Colosimo as the Black Prince was also a standout.
The direction and editing may upset the purists, I reckon its edgy and appropriate.
There are some cheesy moments, like at the end when the Purana mob are all walking over the hill in slow mo to arrest Carl (scene saved however by an angry Roberta mouthing a slow mo "f*** off"!).
Much has be written about the "reality" of the show and the gratuitous sex scenes - but all in all its crackin' good tele!
Comparisons to Blue Murder and the Sopranos (and Scorsese?) are a given, but Underbelly stands up fine on its own.
PS - Loved the soundtrack.
