Let's chat about "Wentworth"! Have you watched it yet?

What is Wentworth? It is an Austrailian television drama. Wentworth is set in modern-day Australia and focuses on Bea Smith when she first enters prison after being charged with the attempted murder of her husband. Bea is separated from her daughter and sent to Wentworth on remand, where she lives in "an uncertain limbo" until she is sentenced. Starting at the bottom of Wentworth's hierarchy, Bea is forced to learn how to survive in prison.

So WHY am I blogging this show? It seriously gave me a bingecoma . I watched all 5 seasons in a matter of days. I couldn't stop. I was literally eating, breathing, and dreaming ( that was SCARY) this show. It was like I was personally invested into these ladies and their journeys. I could always put this show on pause but WHY would I? It was like a good book, I couldn't stop with "one more chapter", I needed one more episode which would turn into 10-hour binge fest and before I knew it, Hubs fixed dinner and the kiddo was put to bed.

FIRST, this show is NOT anything like OITNB. Wentworth is raw and gritty. It depicts more real life prison than the party over at Litchfield. These lady prisoners are HARD CORE.

There are TONS are great characters but here are just a few of my FAVS

Bea Smith : She's great, in my eyes. I loved watching her struggle to get a hold on prison life. Watching her transform and take charge was what made this show GREAT.

Franky Doyle: I loved her from the first 5 minutes of the show. She is the on/off again "TOP DOG". She's feisty and fun. I totally girly crushed her. No lies. =) She is a hard ass with a sweet heart.

Sue "Boomer" Jenkins: This gal has no filter and I love her. She tells it like it is but she's also got an innocence to her that just pulls at your heart. She is Franky's right hand.

Maxine Conway: Maxy is a transgender person. I love that they tackled this modern day issue. First awareness is everything. It really touches my heart how they hit home with the issues Maxine may face in prison. If ever I would want a BFF in prison it would totally be Maxine. She's obviously got the strength to have your back but she has such a GOOD heart.

Onto those prisoners, we all LOVE to HATE.

Jacs Holt: She is a BAD ASS mob boss QUEEN. Seriously she has the sweet look of Martha Stewart but don't let that fool you. She is "Top Dog" and intends to do WHATEVER it takes to keep it. She has no emotion or remorse for what she has done.

Joan "The FREAK" Ferguson: The FREAK is well the most disturbed of them all. I literally love to HATE her. She has screwed over EVERYONE guards and prisoners. She is so mentally disturbed it's scary. That makes her probably the most loved hated person. Governor turned prisoner she has all that she needs to be "Top Dog" yet the mental stability to keep it.

Let's see what else do I love about Wentworth? Oh yes the GUARDS

Vera Bennett " Vinegar Tits": Sweet little Vera. I enjoyed watching her transform throughout the 5 seasons. Personally, I HATE how she has become. I'd love to see a small part of her older personality back. She has become a 'Ferguson wanna be".

Mr. Jackson: I love him. I do. He is one of the good guys. You see he genuinely cares about the ladies yet is trying to abide by rules all while dealing with a tragedy.

Linda Miles: She is the SNEAKY one. She the guard you can and will want to be friends with to get what you need from the outside. She doesn't give two shits about her job, just the pay day. Her antics make for an interesting prison story.

Mathew Fletcher: OHHHH MATTY ! I started off loving him, then he turns super sleazy, and by the end, totally loving him again. I have such a love hate for him.

Jake Stewart: I hated him from the start and I hate him now. However, he makes such damn good story lines, and he is easy on the eyes =)

There are tons of other lady prisoners and guards worth mentioning but these are just a few of my favorite characters of the show. Love them, Hate them, regardless they make GREAT stories. This show was one of my favorites. When I finished the current season I immediately took to the internet and googled as much as I could. I NEED to know when Season 6 airs. ONLY, to find out that Season 5 just came out. I'm literally out of luck until 2018. Foxtel has confirmed a 6th season yet no date has been set for it to air. THANK GOSH because with the way season 5 ended I'd die if I didn't find out what was to happen next.

So what will I do until Season 6????????

I'm thinking a rewatch to see if there is anything I missed or maybe just to catch a glimpse of Franky Doyle ;) .
