underbelly tilt.

So dozens of Lost and Prison Break loving noobs have been hassling the crap out of me, telling me I HAD to watch this new show “Underbelly”. The way these jokers were attacking me gave me flashbacks to when Lost came out - I don’t know what it is about crap shows that makes people obsessed about sharing the crapness. But nh wp, I d/l the entire series and watched it.

If you can get past the hordes of ugly girls (what is the point in being a baller gangster if you can’t at least get cute crack hoes), almost unbelievably terrible acting, and painful, lazy, awkward scriptwriting…the story itself is relatively compelling.

The show is ostensibly about the Melbourne gang wars over the last decade. If you had listened to Australian media during this time, you could be forgiven for thinking these were baller gangsters smashing each other in a titanic Shakespearian blood war. The show (which I’m led to believe is relatively accurate) paints a very different picture. There was nothing special about these underworld figures, they were just dumb idiots with access to guns. Bring in Marlo from Baltimore and his team would clean out these retards in a flash. Fuk it, Omar would pwn these dudes by himself.

Basically, unless the show is factually wrong, they’re all a bunch of dopey morons. And the hitmen, none of them are doing anything interesting. The “hitmen” are getting paid just to kill their own friends and acquantainces. The logistics of killing people you know is remarkably easy. You know where they live, where they hang out, you walk up, “hi hows it going”, bang, walk off.

But the real tilt arrives when it turns out most of these huge “underworld figures” are busto broke. You have kingpin figures who don’t pay their own hitmen (hmm, if I need to explain why this is a bad idea, you’re in trouble) - and kingpin figures who can’t scratch together 50k to order a hit on someone they know is trying to kill them. Give me a break. If this is really true, these guys are pathetic. A half-decent coke dealer in Australia should be pulling in 200k a year, and I’m talking club level dealer. These guys are supposed to be at the top of the tree - ridiculous.

What I suspect is that the producers of this fine Australian (lol) tv drama are, actually, retarded. Because the alternative is that the Melb underworld over the last decade was ruled by stupid monkey idiots, and I find that embarassing as a patriotic Australian bogan.

6. meh i dunno, I watch first episode of Rome and was almost as bored as when I watch I Am Legend. Don’t think I can risk a show “getting better”. If the writers not talented enough to make the pilot / first episode good, I have no trust in them to improve as season continues.
