I'm in.... Australia's answer to The Soprano's...

Very impressed so far. The whole Gangland Murders story is crazy

In Melb - so NO.
Perhaps tomorrow ;-)

nah just think it will be poor mans soprano's. Generally dont like the quality of oz drama so i guess i have a biased view before watching it.

Well wicked. Kinda reminds me of the night I went out drinking with TR........

Not watching it, but does anyone else get a bit bored of every new show having Colosimo or Dimitriades in it? Maybe we need Aussie Actor Bingo - you could tune into an Australia drama and be smashed by the second commercial break.

I like it Isaac, I'm in..

Add to that, Martin Sacks and Lisa Mclune...Half a card alredy!

This is a good show, just missing Shaun Micallef (spelling?)

....and Mick Molloy!

TR, you got a guest role in the show??

He he Sturty, also Ray Martin ; )

You remember that night Sturty??? All I remember is the Jaeger chic's and vomiting my ring out in the morning...

If anyone has read Choppers' books, they seem to have Carl Williams down pat........

For you DJ......

Ganster guy kills lowlife. A couple of witnesses. They get paid off and leave the country.

Ganster beats murder wrap.

Ganster guy tries to collect on a debt but the lowlife isn't forthcoming wih the funds. Lots of people get roughed up. Gangster gets caught by the pigs.

All the time the Police are trying to build a case aginst aforementioned Ganster.

Pt 2 follows tomorrow night........

Oh no. I hope there are no jury members from Melbourne reading this topic.........

Yes I do remember most things.....

Jaegermiester chicks
Boobs
Jaeger Lanyards and Beanies
More boobs

...and working the next day, vomiting at Smoko, just after smoko and at Lunch.

they could have condensed it down to an hour, kind of went on.

And how about the ads! there was at least 40 mins of ads

Any chance anyone knows if they're repeating it?? Missed it...

Liked it .....but was it me or was there an Ad break every 5 minutes or less.

There's bound to be a torrent out there on one of the AU TV torrent sites.

Yep it's all over the net - from what i've heard.

Cheers for the recap sturty.

Of course they are going to put heaps of ads in like that. They know a lot of people are going to be watching the show so the advertising companies make the most of it and plenty of ads get played.

Superbowl is the same. Every time play stops there is an ad break. They pay top $$$$ too to get airtime.

Don't forget the old guy from the Castle - the barrister.. what's his name?

I watched Dr House instead. I like Kumar aka Kal Penn.

This show looks good, but clashes.

Keefy you are as sharp as Carl Williams

Superbowl is 1 day a year and a footy game this is a TV series that will run for weeks.

I never would have thought that the reason so many Ads were on is because a lot of people are watching and people are willing to pay top $$$. (breathtaking evaluation)

Tonight Jason Moran may even take a TV time out if there is no stoppage in play.

I just felt like they had alot more than usual.

lockstock - Bud Tingwell.

Trivia:

The family was named Kerrigan so the filmmakers could borrow trucks from an actual tow-truck company, Kerrigan's Towing.

The shooting schedule was cut from 20 to 11 days -- the number of days the filmmakers could afford to feed the cast and crew.

Was quite fluffy in parts but decent enough drama. Would have liked it be a little more gritty and little less hollywood .
Mark Moran was probably the best portrayal and likeness of character .
Big fan of Colosimo but didn't like him as Alphonse Gangitano , should have gone with lesser names .

Cheers Isaac. Found a link if anyone else wants to download it - http://www.sumotorrent.com/details_875207.html

Well I thought it was pretty average.

Vince Colossimo giving a great performance in this drama? Give me a break!

Still using his same "cardboard cut out" style from his Street Hero days.

I will be voting with my remote next week.
