There is a reason Underbelly Season 3 keeps coming up in conversation. Underbelly Season 3 trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. This series is loosely based on real events that stemmed from the nightclub scene of the Sydney suburb of Kings Cross. The timeline of the series is from the years between 1988 and 1999. It primarily depicts the running of Kings Cross and the corruption of police leading up to the 1995 Wood Royal Commission. Emma Booth and Firass Dirani lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2010. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers drawn to character-driven storytelling will find plenty to sit with in Underbelly Season 3. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Emma Booth anchors a cast that never overplays its hand. The kind of drama that stays with you well after the finale.
