Underbelly is an Australian television true crime-drama series that depicts real-life events. The program first aired on the Nine Network on 13 February 2008 and concluded its initial run on 1 September 2013, before being revived on 3 April 2022. Each season of the series functions as a standalone story, focusing on the rise and fall of various Australian underworld figures. The narrative perspective is presented from both sides of the law. The first series consists of thirteen episodes and is loosely based on the real events of the 1995-2004 gangland war in Melbourne, documenting one of the bloodiest crime battles in Australian history. The production features a cast including Caroline Craig, Paul Tassone, Dieter Brummer, and Daniel Roberts. As a multi-award-winning series, it explores the sordid and corrupt aspects of criminal activity. Viewers can access the episodes through various streaming services, with options for high-definition viewing available.
