Australian drama seems to be in the best shape it has been in in recent memory, with the top two shows on Sunday being Wild Boys and Underbelly.
Wild Boys pulled 1,674,000 for its premiere, topping the night, and giving Seven yet another hit Australian drama.
Its early time slot in 7:30pm didn't hurt it, and Nine didn't put up much opposition with a fairly weak 60 Minutes.
However, Nine wouldn't be too disappointed, with Underbelly:Razor grabbing 1,550,000 (though Seven still won the night).
But again, this is a huge vote of confidence in Australian dramas- and ones that are actually well-written, stylish and snappy at that.
For once, networks will now feel compelled to commission new dramas, rather than doing it out of obligation to fulfill drama point quotas.
