Underbelly *major spoilers*

Alright, lets talk about underbelly here (Brett, you better go wait outside).

What did everyone think of the premiere? I had high expectations (if you didn't already know) and for the most part, they were fulfilled. I really liked Les Hill's character (Jason Moran), thought he did a great job. Better than Vince Colosimo, (Alphonse Gangitano) at any rate. It was disappointing to see Alphonse die though, the conflict between him and, well, everyone, was good to watch. Guess it was always gonna end like that, though.

Gotta go with Carl Williams for my favourite character though. He's played so well (the actor's name escapes me...), I can't wait to see what his character turns into. I get the feeling he'll take them all down.

I like how the war is shown from every angle possible - cops/gangsters/family - I suspect the media will be bought into it as the series progresses.

On a side note, my god how many famous Aussie actors did you spot? Its not so much a story on the Melbourne gangland murders than it is "Spot the Aussie actor and tell us what show they used to be in."

Overall, I was very pleased. Looking forward to next week's ep.

8/10

If you want to download them, I doubt it. Unlike American TV shows, underbelly will be shown here first, seeing as its an Aussie program. But, you never know, these are strange times we live in.

If you want to watch them online, check the websites for Ch 9 and underbelly - they might have something up. For a 2 hour episode though, I doubt it.

Very likely. Check the TV guide on Sunday - my bet is on Tuesday, probably during the afternoon.

EDIT: By Des, Can't promote torrent sites. People will find it if they want to.
