wentworth( if your a fan of OITNB)


I'm normally not the type that lwatches a tv show just because everyone is now gaga over it...I don't do must see tv
I've never seen breaking bad/game of thrones/etc etc etc

and if I do get into a tv show it is usually on the back end on say netflixs after it's been on a while.
I hate to commit to a show with like 2 seasons..I get more enjoyment finding a great show and then seeing it has like 10 seasons .

SO I was just cruising on netflix and typed in the letter w for some reason and this show from australia popped up called "wentworth"..

Now some may say it is a rip off of orange is the new black...but then everyone in Australia will tell you to go fuck yourself .. it is the other way around...

But I love tight writing and interesting characters.
.
I'm a " china beach" sorta guy..By this I mean I will watch a tv show ( that normally a dude guy would never admit to watching...) just because I get a crush on one of it's stars.. I call it the " dana delaney" effect...and then end up watching the whole damn thing.

Sooo yeah...I watched like 7 episodes last night because of it.. I found myself really crushing on "frankie"...she looks alot like rashida jones from parks and recs..

I can see why people recommend "wentworth" if you like OITNB....they are very similar in nature...
Wentworth is a bit grittier and darker than orange...the women in this prison are accused of more sever crimes/it isn't supposed to be a minimum security wing like it is on orange...but it is hardly hbo's oz. ( no one is getting prison _aped with a broom handle)

Both feature lesbians that get away ALOT...both feature strong female cast/both feature strong female lead characters like Red...

and probably most important.. both give you this emotional back story on how these women came to be in prison...

and sure there is some eye candy ( of both sexes..especially on wentworth)..
BUT .there still is alot of juicy roles and storylines for say the 50 yr old female actress...so there is room for jane and joe average on this show..
it's not all just about ( insert an r cause alt won't let me use that word) _apey mc_apey weirdo prison guards with porno moustaches and hottie 20 something lesbians blonde prisoners in yoga/scrubs sorta pants

Plus on wentworth ..about 5 episodes in we get to see the hottie warden (or governor as she is called in the show) in a bdsm club...

So please watch an episode. I know you will shake your head initially and say "come on now"...really is this really the prison system in australia???
But then again you could say this same thing about "orange"....it is very " soap opera" like...sometimes you gotta shake your head as they gloss pass a few things..
But the writing is good and the characters are interesting...anyway it is an interesting comparison to orange

I've binged watched every season (currently now it's 5th) of Wentworth. Excellent show! Binge watching as I write this...

As far as women prison dramas go, it's comparing apples and oranges. they are both fruit but taste a whole lot different
