Omg! Wentworth!!!

It is must see T.v. Esp for the people who love Orange is the new black. Wentworth is an aussie series supposed to be a prequel to a television series in the 80s called prisoner. It has some simular plot lines as Orange is The New black but very different just the same.it has two seasons on netflix with the third coming out on April 7th. I marathoned straight through both seasons.and I have to say the arch villain in the first season must be based on an evil Martha Stewart clone! Rofl! Sigh. I am now doomed to try and find something else to watch on netflix that is as interesting and energetic with twists and turns. What a wild ride. I am jealous of those of you who get to sit down and watch it for the first time.

I watched all three seasons. It's quite different from OITNB, which is sort of a comedy. Wentworth is more serious and dark. Ferguson is a truly frightening character, as was that woman with the Martha Stewart hair.

The actress that played jack was very evil but looked very elegant. The arch villain they have set up for season 4 is going to be interesting too. The vigilante that red used ,dumped,and turned in. It is a really excellent program. The aussie know what they are doing.

Don't think Frankie is going to be in the next season. I read somewhere that the actress moved over here. (She should have brought Liz with her, so i wouldn't have to put up with her anymore. lol)

It seems Frankie drove off into the sunset with a hot car and hot girl like her dream. Man! The really bad day she had hiding the planted ballons,having to swallow the two that wouldn't flush locked in solitary,having to drink veggie oil to help ballons go through her system,getting cramps while having to address parole board, then heading for the bathroom when confronted with killing meg. Cracked me up.

Looks sick to me. The last shot when the newbies were coming in red had really dark circles around her eyes.

Isn't Red a character from OITNB? Or are you thinking of Bea - the redhead with the Sideshow Bob hairdo?
