Underbelly - A Fail and a Few Titties
Yep, it’s official.
Underbelly – A Tale of Two Cities – blows!
The writing/narration is on the nose, the storylines are choppier than the Bass Straight, and the characters – lead by Matthew ‘Mini-Moonface’ Newton – are less likeable than a nightclub bouncer at 5am.
And what is with Peter O’Brien’s outfit and wig? He looks like KFC’s Colonel Sanders!

The most redeeming element is the nudity – with The Herald Sun reporting that one recent episode racked up a set of bare breasts ever 73 seconds (mad props to the journalist who got out his stop-watch to determine this statistic).
There hasn’t been this much skin on commercial TV since Chances!
Anna Hutchinson, who plays Newton’s bad-boy loving girlfriend, says she had no qualms getting her gear off.
“A lot of women’s roles call for nudity and it is just up to whether you think the role needs it and this one did.”
Perhaps Anna was just happy to get out of her Yellow Fury Power Ranger costume!
No word yet on how Newton felt about getting his ‘mini-moon cheeks’ out on national TV….
Thank you, Underbelly – for proving once again that ALL SEQUELS SUCK!
