"Nobody likes whistleblowers, especially not in organizations like this", says the Police Commissioner in one episode of the Australian mini-series "Underbelly", a docu-drama series that captured our attention.
Wikipedia says it was a critical and ratings success, and we can see why.
Even when the dialogue is at times hard to understand for non-Aussie ears, for instance "some piper" is not about music, bagpipes or rats, it is a request for "paper".
LOL'ed and continued to watch.
After the first two or three seasons, the K-Landnews culture critic made an astute observation: there are a lot of strong women in the series.
A surprising number, once you notice them in all their breadth and depth.
There are cool female detectives, as you might expect, but there are also very strong, loving, upright prostitutes and drug couriers.
Our culture critic highly recommends you check out the Aussie series.
