I just finished Wentworth for the first time. WHY ISNT THIS SHOW MORE POPULAR?

Posted by JamStan1978


This show is both amazing and extremely frustrating. When I say frustrating, I don’t mean in a bad way, but in a “ugh, why are these characters manipulating the characters I love?” way. Like, I know it’s part of the drama, but knowing something the characters don’t is stressful lol. But it’s what makes the show so good, because you never know what’s going to happen. I really wish Bea would have survived longer because I wanted to see her and Allie’s relationship go further, and I just really love the character. But I surprisingly liked a lot of the new characters. How the f*** could I eventually like Marie when I wanted her to have the most painful death just a couple of seasons earlier?? That writers’ room is brilliant. Even its worst season is still great TV, and I don’t even think I can pinpoint a worst season. I honestly think it just got continuously better as it went on, so by default season 1 feels the weakest, even though it’s still good. The show is amazing, and I am so excited for the sequel show so I can get more of it. I hope some of the OG characters come back like Vera, Will, Jake, Boomer, and Allie. If those characters stay, I’d be okay with an entirely new cast around them. I’d also really love to see what happens after the bomb incident.

Fully agree. I have the series on DVD, but have to pace the viewing because some of it is very hard hitting.

First, I have the last season to watch still. I was saving it for a time when I was ready to let everyone at Wentworth go. But there's a sequel? Whoa.
