Ever since watching Underbelly Razor (released in 2001) I am obsessed with researching and learning about Australia's criminal history when it comes to prostitution, prohibition etc and how things have evolved since the 1800-1900's. I love that in Sydney in the 1920's the underworld was ruled by 2 women.

The whole Underbelly series was seriously addictive. If you haven't watched them you are absolutely missing out!

Hey Shannon. I was a SERIOUS fan of this series too! I especially love how the two female leads were played by 2 kick-ass Kiwi actresses! #KiwisDoItBetter
