Wentworth
Long, long ago on Australian television and later on world television there was a show called Prisoner. The world knew the show as Prisoner Cell Block H, and Cell Block H knew Bea Smith as the intimidating Queen Bea. Meanwhile, in a bid to find a series worth investing in, I have stumbled across something recent, this show called Wentworth, which first screened in 2013. It's set in current times at Wentworth prison and follows a battered woman called Bea Smith as she's processed into H block on remand for the first time. Back when it started they were comparing it to Breaking Bad. I've watched the first two episodes and I'm ready to say that in some ways it may be better. Right out of the box, it is certainly the more intense. The characters are familiar from the old show, but this one is definitely worth watching on its own.
