If you like OTNB then you should check out "Wentworth". Just watched the first two seasons and they just approved season three. Can't wait!

Wentworth seems more like the Spanish HBO series Capadocia than OITNB. Capadocia is a women's prison story told like a telenovela - super dramatic - and probably jumps the shark in the 3rd season - but it also address women's and poverty issues.

Wentworth is ace! It's a contemporary take on the old Prisoner Cell Block H that many of know and love from yesteryear.

I see the latest season of "Lilyhammer" (3) just released on Netflix. It's been a while but I laughed my arse off with this show. Looking forward to the latest.

Let's just say Prisoner had dodgy 80s production values; the set could be as creaky as some of the dialogue but to us it didn't matter we loved it all the more.
There weren't, and still aren't, many shows with mostly female casts so they stand out in the memory. Prisoner was cult telly for every dyke (and many none dyke women) I knew back then.

In Prisoner, Bea is Top Dog and young upstarts like Reb don't last so long. Lizzy Birdsworth was always a favourite character with her grizzled old face. It's really weird as an original Prisoner fan to watch other actors playing the characters we knew and loved.

That sounds like fun! Are you from Australia? I wonder if the Prisoner is available any where.

I am a bit um, never mind but does anyone else watch Wentworth?

It is a spin off- sort of new continuation of Prisoner - Cell Block H which I began watching in '79.

Nah I'm not Aussie...UK got a fair amount of Aus tv from the late 70s through the 80s. Who could forget The Sullivans and Young Doctors. Not to mention the suburban horror of Neighbours!! Kylie and Jason anyone?!
Check the streaming sites for Prisoner.

Thanks guys!

We would have never watched Wentworth, had I not read about it here.

We loved it and tried to limit ourselves to 2 episodes per night (it was difficult!).

We finished the 22 episodes last night. The GF did some research and found that Wentworth was a real prison in Australia that was closed in the 1920's. <<< Just a little trivia for you.

New episodes are supposed to be out sometime time in 2015.
