minjaandjelkovic I must admit that I have not been much of a fan for Australian TV shows since I was a teenager when I was absolutely in love with Heartbreak High in the 90s. And I decided to give it a try, and here I am binge-watching it, season by season, in just a few days. Main characters are portrayed very well although I think that Miss Miles' personal story should have been developed. She's there, she is involved in some moments in the story but , again, that's it, our knowledge concerning her story is limited. AND...my fav character and actress is Liz or Celia Ireland..., the way this woman acts...I give credit to this woman, I absolutely love her. She's gorgeous.

JimAsimenios I very, very rarely watch any of those TV series shows because I find most of them boring and tedious. One night my wife started watching Wentworth "Season 1 Episode 1" and I sat next to her and started watching it along with her. I got Hooked! It drags you in and keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what is going to happen next. The actors/acting is AMAZING because every cast member makes you feel like things/events are really happening. One of the cast members who played Ferguson the Governor "Pamela Rabe" was outstanding in her role playing mind games with everyone. Looking forward to Season 6!

Bzb I've said for years the British are, on average, better actors than Americans-now I will have to include the Aussies. The thing is, I almost didn't bother to watch this, until after exhausting all seasons of lesser-quality shows. I didn't know then, but now I am better for seeing it. Excellent. Consistently surprising. Inventive yet believable. 'Orange' was fine the first two years; now it is simply a sexual cartoon fantasy-there's little to watch, and nothing to learn, or enlighten. The comparison is there and so must be made: two women's prison dramas. Well, that's all they share, at this point. Wentworth grows. Orange festers...now it's a barely watchable soap opera. Anyone who feels HBO, Amazon or any other company produces the best show, better take a look at this jewel. Sure, a few things are unlikely..but far more credible than depicted elsewhere. Real people, not caricatures. Real problems, in a realistic prison. Doesn't pull punches-prison is never 'fun', but the women have realistic conflicts, resolved within the rules set, again realistically, by both staff and inmates. The top actors are brilliant, with ASTA and as far as I'm concerned, Emmy-worthy performances from Pamela Rabe and Nicole da Silva. da Silva is masterful at showing guilt, and facing dilemmas in and out of the slammer. Ferguson (Rabe) may be the greatest character in prison TV history. So psychotic, yet so plausible. Unpredictable, yet believable scripts. It's simply a wonderful creation.

Jemae This is easily the best Australian TV show ever. The writing is excellent, it's drama, meets comedy, meets romance. I love the homage it pays to the original series. The characters are different but almost the same. Wentworth also looks cinematic, every episode draws you in, every character is amazing. It's such a shame. Aussie's can only watch the show if they have pay TV. More Aussie's need to see this show because very little know of the it. The freak is a better character on Wentworth, than the original. If you never liked the original, give the remake a chance because I guarantee, you will love it.
