Underbelly

Post by Gezza »

Probally only Australains will know about this one as it is based on the Gangland War/Murders in Melborune.
It was a great TV show, showing the lives of infamous serial killers such as Carl Williams, Benji Venjiman, Mark Moran, Jason Moran and many more.......
The show stared actors such as Vince Collosimo, Gynton Grantly and Kat Stewart.
I personaly would of given it a 9/10 as it is a great tv show to reveal what happened from 1995-2005.
If any Aussies or any other people who have heard of this show please put down a post saying what you thought of the tv show.
Also here is a picture to jog your memory ;)-

Well, indeed I didn't know it, never heard in Italy. But, I've just read something about... and I'd like to see it. Plus, I just think that, sooner or later, they will play Underbelly here.
I've to say it seems a sorta The Sopranos, even if it's based on Real "Mafia" Events. Also some funny episode? Or just a raw "chronicle"?
Mafia right? Condello, Lawyer and Criminal, Colosimo, Williams, and all the others. I mean, are we talking about this kinda phenomenon? Or not?
Anyway a Gangland War in Melbourne from 1995-2005. Could you tell me more about that? Really OVER?

Yes, im not an expert on it but from the show there was originally just the "Carlton Crew".
Carl Williams then started making (i think) Ecstasy for the Moran Brothers and he was caught making his own by the cops and the Moran brothers shot him and said he has to get like 70Grand for the pill press or they will kill him.
He then went and kill Mark Moran and started his own like gang.
Later he hired somebody refered to as Dino who is on the far right of the picture (about to stand up) to kill Jason Moran.
So then Carl Williams then mainly hires hitmen etc.
Well i wont explain the whole series becuase you will have to watch it.  :p

This is a great show!!!!! and heres some trivia for those who dont already know--This show was cancelled in the australian state of victoria, because it apparantly might have affected the 'actual' criminals who are still on trial in that state... Though Im pretty sure people would use the internet....
