Wentworth [Soho - AU]

Richard Dower

Some new version of Prisoner Cell Block H

http://wentworth.sohotv.com.au/

We all know Bea Smith ruled Wentworth Detention Centre. She was gutsy and fearless. But who was Bea Smith before prison? How did a wife and mother from the suburbs become a top dog without rival? Where did the confidence and fortitude come from that enabled her to get there, and what injustices and misadventures fuelled her determination to do it? Wentworth is a dynamic, often confronting, drama series that begins with Bea’s early days in prison. Set in the present day, it’s a modern re-imagination of Prisoner.

I can't see it having the cult following that P:CBH has, though...

Prisoner Cell Block H was awesome telly..

.. this just looks like a cash-in.

Oz version of Bad Girls

Has anybody been watching this? Its a brilliant show and a not a shaky wall in sight Im up to episode 9 now. Its a very dark and violent show.

Mr E

I just watched the first episode. Seriously good TV. If you're not hooked by that fantastic final sequence (from the fight onward), then there is something wrong with you.

10 episodes in total and all have aired in Australia.

Really looking forward to this especially as it seems to have been very well received.

It is really really good. I watched all 10 episodes in the space of a week.

TV3 acquired it for Ireland.

I've watched all of Season 1 now. Really liked it. Used to watch Prisoner with my mam when I was younger. This doesn't feel like just a cash in. Watchable even if you didn't watch PCBH. Would love to watch the old ones again.
Roll on Season 2!

You can watch the older eps on YouTube . I'm working my way through them .

Never watched Prisoner: Cell Block H but loved the first episode the other night. Hope it does well.

I've recorded these from Channel 5 since in started in August and binged on five episodes yesterday while sprawled on the sofa eating chocolate! This is a seriously good show and some of the characters (particularly Franky) are just brilliant. Can't wait to see what happens! Has a second series been commissioned does anyone know? I do hope so, this has far exceeded my expectations.

If you are referring to TV3 then it is repeated on Sunday evenings at 11.25pm

Season 2 on TV3


I missed it on Monday night, didn't know it was back!

TV3 Player has it airing on Monday night, but looking at the listing it wasn't on.

Lucky it's been repeated/shown tomorrow night!

I don't see it listed for next Monday, so what night of the week are they showing it?



From a TV3 Press release, Thursday Night is the Night it is on.

I edited my post!

Unearthly

Bit of a hidden gem this one. It's on American netflix.

Really addictive show.

tafkach

I caught this by accident the other night.. It was quite good, but some bits didnt have much credibility... The old woman who runs the jail was just laughable, and her ordering the other prisoners around like some mafia Don. And the physical fight scenes were not very good either...

Her husband is some leader of an organised crime group, and that's how she had power inside. Not sure if you seen the rest of the season, but she has power struggles later on cause of this.

No prob!! Only saw it being advertised meself today and then I checked the guide.I'm gonna have to watch it on +1 though coz tis clashing with Aprés Match.

@Corkie,ssssshhh....pleeease don't tell anything,I've already missed most of it on Channel 5!!

An Riabhach

Havent seen the Sindy Lu gang for a while...
"Sindy Lu says she is here".
"Sindy Lu says she is tired".
"Sindy Lu says she is not happy".
"Sindy Lu says yes".
"Sindy Lu says you're dead".
"Sindy Lu says kiss me arse"!!
:-) :-) :-)

Actually,did I miss this last week,or was it even on?

Merkin

What an epic finale to Season 3. Did anyone watch it?

Yep..,very good.

But I'm gonna miss Frankie-if there is a 4th season I don't think tis gonna be the same without her.
Unless she gets done for Miss Jackson's murder and ends up back inside...
I'd love to see The Freak end up on the other side of Wentworth's bars-Vinegar Tits and everyone else will get a great kick outa that.I'm gettin a bid fed up with Red,and I'd like to see someone really challenging her.

And Sindy Lu won't be sayin much anymore....

Merkin

Franky is coming back so don't worry. Check out @FrankyDoyle on Twitter! She's a great character and the show just wouldn't be the same without her. Same as The Freak! It's a brilliant programme and hasn't lost momentum at all, in fact it just gets better!

An Riabhach

Any idea yet when Season 4 is starting on Channel 5?

It usually shows on Channel 5 long before it comes to Irish television.

Merkin

I lived in the UK until recently and it used to come out late July/early August as far as I remember! Make sure to post here if you find out and I'll do the same!

Agent Coulson

Finally got around to watching this over the last couple of weeks and watched all three seasons what a great show.

I fondly remember Cell Block H and they did a great job reimagining it for a modern tv audience.

It's absolutely brilliant isn't it? It's fairly gritty. The acting and scripting is second to none.

An Riabhach

Just noticed that the one who acted as toughnut "Simmo" is now acting in Neighbours!

Season 4 kicks off tomorrow in Aus.

OMG I cannot *wait* for this!

Agent Coulson

"I can smell her on you" such a Silence of the Lambs feel to that.

A great opening episode and what looks like will be another great season if the can keep all the storylines going.

Unearthly

Good start

Frankie to get put back in prison for breaking the terms of her parole? Can't see how she can contribute to the show on the outside.

Disappointed Fletch is gone

I had no Idea Fletch was going out of it.

Doesn't Frankie still have to get done for killing Mrs.Jackson?The Freak will make sure that happens.

This Kaz Proctor could be a force to be reckoned with.Watch out,Red!!

Do Bea and Will Jackson ever get together
