Almost everything about the show is just perfect. The characters are great, the storylines are great, the arcs are great. I love how real and cinematic the show feels while still being fun. Is it because its an Australian show? Bc i was one of those people that always put it off bc of it being Australian and it blew my expectations. Just wish more people gave it a chance and it become more known. It definitely deserves to have more love
>Is it because its an Australian show?
It is, and isn't marketed because of it. And it was airing at the exact same time as another much more popular show with a similar premise, Orange is the New Black, was showing.

Which is too bad, as Wentworth is a FAR superior show.

Agreed! I like both wentworth and OITNB but wentworth is gritty in comparison… which I love but maybe others don’t?

I agree with this and in fact had made a post about this exact situation some years ago, lol. Although Wentworth/OITNB never came up in that … but wholly agree

Yes, because it's Australian and not marketed.
I loved that show, deserved more love

Were you aware that it is a reboot of *Prisoner: Cell Block H?*
The original was known for wobbly sets, The Freak prison officer, and that theme song. Possible people were put off by that, as it was a bit of a joke, late night tv show.

Wait, this is a kind of remake/reboot of Cellblock H? Never heard of it, but I watched reruns of the original as a kid.

The name alone makes it a great show.

Great show. Not always accessible for free with US streamer subscriptions. Not promoted enough. Australian tv.

It’s ok. It’s pretty soapy.
I watched the first season and stopped. Too absurd for me

Online, Outside of the US, UK and maybe Canada most popular shows don't get love.

Both that show and the spanish Vis a Vis are way better shows about women prisons compared to OITNB.

It was good, I watched it years ago. Can’t recall a single character, just that I remember I liked it.

On principle, I don't watch shows titled with just a last name
