I'm not sure it's an entirely fair comparison to make between Wentworth and OITNB; sure, both are set in women's prisons but OITNB is a quirky comedy-drama of sorts while Wentworth is a more straightforward, gritty prison drama.
That aside, Wentworth is easily one of the best TV dramas ever; just terrific stuff and with a brilliant cast.
I was expecting this to be more similar to The Orange Is The New Black. Not so. Its an excellent show. Well written, very interesting. I was hooked by the first episode. The characters are impecable, acting at its best! Just livin the Aussie accent too. Ohh that Mr Jackson, what a body on that man!!! :heart: :ok_hand_tone2:
I don't do spoilers, but if a show totally takes me in the opposite direction of what I assumed. I've got to see it thru to the end!!
Love the show! Better than Orange is the new black!
Don't even read anything about the show, just go and watch it. Amazing.
Orange is the New Black became repetitive, at least for me, after the first season -- wound up skipping to the end of the last episode of season 2 only to see if it was finally going to resolve as it wasn't worth the time if not. Gave up on it after that, would have made a better 1 season story limited to 8 episodes. It's a Saturday-morning cartoon compared to Wentworth. Wentworth packs a lot of punch into the first episode, and from there it snowballs -- gathering more vixens and plot twists along the way. I should never have started watching at 11pm, it's so good I watched through sunrise ;-) Excellent storytelling... engaging... addictive...
This is a series definitely binge worthy. Better than ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK (in my humble opinion) and based on PRISONER, which ran on Network Ten (AU) from 1979 to 1986. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10 and have become very attached to it's characters. [Drama and Intrigue in a Women's Prison]
Love this show!! The Bitch(Frankie) is Back!!!
Pretty good. Can't Wait for season five.
Excellent show. I was a fan of Prisoner way back when so was a little worried about a remake, but nothing to fear this is an excellent version for a modern age.
Seasons 8 and 9 ruined a pretty good show.
Seasons 8 and 9 ruined a pretty good show.
I'm really going to miss this show.
if episode 9 was the finale , then it was a let down...at any rate , I have loved the show from day one! I will miss it !
Grabbed me right from the first few minutes and now I'm hooked!
Wentworth is the BEST ever this series (7) was a cliffhanger each week. I am watching it again
Makes me wanna go to prison to get my shit fucked up.
I just watched the finals of the fourth season, and that was the last episode I'll watch! You killed Bea! She was THE character! We love her the most, her life, her struggle, her change of personality...her pain! I'm sorry, it was pretty good until this moment, but I can not get through this! This is just MY oppinion, and maybe it won't matter to you...but for me...I don't have a reason to watch this anymore. Doreen and Booms are annoying, Kaz and Allie are not that great and are new characters...and The Freak!! She is still alive, and that's bad enough!
Best show I’ve seen yet. If you haven’t watched it, you are missing out. Binge watched this show like crazy.
Pretty good. Can't Wait for season five.

Oh...my....god.

Just watched all of these seasons back to back....OMG...Roll on season 5! Gripping programme!!
great show great start to season 2 which started last night in uk
Please please let this get a second season!!!
Way too similar to Bad Girls. Plot just a bit different, and characters are copied too. I can only asume that same stuff goes on in every single prison, or?!?

Excellent show. Puts "Orange is the New Black" to shame.
