Wentworth (2013–2021)
10/10
Masterfully written, gritty drama with an amazing cast (possible spoilers ahead)
25 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A brilliant remake of a classic Australian drama. If I only had one word to describe this series it would be "gripping". From the first episode you connect with the characters in such a way that their happiness is your's and their trials and tribulations have you wringing your hands with anxiety.

I loved Prisoner when I was younger and it was on reruns, but this series smashes it out of the ball park. It makes Orange is the New Black look like Sistehood of the Travelling Pants. Imagine a female version of Oz with the character driven story lines of Lost and an all star Australian cast.

It's one of those shows where the season finale ends and you're basically bereft at the thought of waiting 9 months for the next season. The international success speaks volumes to the universality of it's themes. C'mon season 4! I wanna see The Freak walk through those gates!
