Underbelly " CHOPPER "
« on: February 12, 2018, 07:18:57 AM »
Can honestly say having the chance to watch TV of late, I was looking forwards to this new episode  of Underbelly .. Having watched  All the full previous series already on DVD..
Sorry channel Nine but you get a score of 4 out of 10, Obviously trying to cash in on the originals success .. The episode just came across as a very low budget under written, We'll just do the basics re enactment story style show ..
After seeing the ads lately for Home and away, I think the writers may have worked on that show once . FAIL .

I started watching it.   Thought it would have been ok to waste a couple hours of my life on,  but stopped as I just can't stand all the blocks of ads pumped in every 6 to 7 minutes....   grrr....

Finished up watching Kitty Flanagan comedy on SBS, mostly ad-free, very funny!!

Chopper was complete rubbish I thought, had the potential to be ok viewing but was garbage I thought. Wish I remembered that Kitty Flanagan was on telly, I would have switched over as I reckons she's pretty funny, we watched A4A that we had recorded earlier in the day instead.

I turned it off half way through.
I've read all his books and been to his show he did with jacko and roger rogerson.
The acting was poor and the story skipped bits and pieces. Won't bother watching tonight.

Now come on you two, We as Australians and a lot of decendendents of Convicts wouldnt do that sort of thing ... I mean just look at the way we treat the history of the likes of Ned Kelly and all the other notorious types ... Umm  on second thought..... well maybe dont look at that example ..
 But I'm quite sure we wouldnt  and lots would agree with that .................... Wouldnt they ? ...........  wouldnt they !    [ Do you hear Crickets ] Oh well .  :-*

A tv show that glorifies criminals and killers, hardly the first time that's been done now.

I must be the only that see's channel nine flogging it, talking it up as the best mini series of all time everytime they release another edition.
I'm just glad its finally on, so I don't  have to see all these effing chopper ad's that have been on for near on 5 months.

how are you the only one that sees channel 9 is flogging it?....it's blatantly obvious to many of us that is what they are doing with all the Underbelly shows they are doing, but if it was a decent show (which this isn't) i'd still watch it. Sadly all the channels these days flog ads for new upcoming shows months before they air, you definately aren't alone in having a gutful of that happening.

Didn’t bother with the second half. Was the first bit of commercial tv I’ve watched in months, terrible compared to the previous ones.

Yep, agree 100% its been around for ever, but would you watch a movie glorifying pedophiles..... NO.

Yes, of course, over the years, i have watched movies based on crimes, the Brendon Abbott one springs to mind.

I've never really understood the fixation of people like Ned Kelly and just the whole thing in general.  ???

reckon you are stretching it with pedos there....movies like Scarface and The Krays are no different really to what they are pumping out on the telly these days, plenty of people are happy to rave about those movies. Go back to the Westerns like Butch Cassidy who was a train robber and the rest of the Western movies all based on similar crimes,, then modern day like Ronnie Biggs...the list goes on

FOXTEL they advertise the ****in show your currently watching during it. and then all the pissy little ads that pop up in the middle of a show for some Shitty 'reality' show, that gets me more pissed off.
