My Wife talked me into catching an "episode or two" of the Netflix Australian show "Wentworth". By the time we were done - I had watched 3 seasons out of 7......

Basically it is an Aussie version of "Orange is the new Black" but, in my humble opinion, blows that show out of the water. Easily 10 times better.

The cast is absolutely fantastic - great actors all of them. There are NO weak links and the story line is great.

Look, when a women's prison show can keep this old assed combat veteran enthralled - you know it's good. I HIGHLY recommend it. 7 Seasons and as I understand it - more is coming either later this year or early next year. Check it out if you like - but be forewarned - it WILL hook you! :-)

Here's a review of the show:

" But Wentworth isn't a vaguely inspiring dramedy; it's a ruthlessly dark drama, more like Breaking Bad with ten Gus Frings, or Deadwood but with competing Swearingens. It's tragic and gripping, and one of very few recent shows that has truly shocked me."

Time to order another pizza this evening and get back to it.........
