Fans of the iconic Prisoner series which pushed boundaries over three decades ago and still today boasts a loyal following worldwide, will remember Bea Smith as gutsy and fearless, ruling Wentworth Correctional Center with an iron fist. But who was Bea Smith before prison? How did a wife and mother from the suburbs become a top dog without rival? Wentworth is a dynamic, often confronting, drama series that begins with Bea's early days in prison. Set in the present day, it is a modern adaptation of Prisoner contemporising legendary characters and their stories for today's audience. This ten-part series takes the viewer inside to an uncompromising environment exploring the politics of women in a world without men, and how such a threatening experience both challenges and often changes those confined and working behind the razor wire.

After 8 Seasons, it is ultimately the caliber of the outstanding acting, and transitional phases that these women would realistically go through, that keep this show in a number one slot. No one, NO ONE, stays the same, they all evolve and do so with conviction. This show has it all; gore, horror, betrayal, love lost, love found, drug use, recovery, and “top dogs”. I couldn’t possibly illustrate adequately what a quality show this is. It is not a melodramatic piece of goopy, nonsense pie; it is a delicious array of savoury elements that leaves the viewer wanting more…even if their favourite is killed off/or otherwise. Highly recommended. Start from the beginning and watch how it evolves. It’s binge-worthy and contemplative. 5/5

One of the best shows to come along in quite some time.

A terrific show! Thankful that a friend of mine from Australia mentioned this series to me after I made a comment on how I binge-watched “Orange Is The New Black” a while ago. I know that OITNB is a Dramedy set in a woman’s prison and Wentworth is a serious drama…but still…this show is much better, better actors and a MUCH better set of storylines.

I love this show I have been tuning in since the beginning, some things to ponder.. you’d think they would ban hoodies eventually! LOL!

I thought the exact quote to describe it! lol

I thought this was supposed to be back in early July 2021. Now I have to wait until August? Arrrrrrrrgh.

my fav show ever

greenguy86 2 points 3 years ago.

I just want to say that I love this show. I was a little late to the party and discovered it originally when season 2 had started. It opened up my world to all the brilliant Aussie tv shows. I’m sad that it will end with season 9. No premiere date yet but more than likely will air in July. Very much looking forward to the last season!

Wentworth has changed piece by piece over the years, but always has its redeeming qualities. I’m not sure how I feel about the current top dog, but what I have learned over the years is that Wentworth does not let you down. So excited to see where season 8 goes from here.

victorynus 2 points 3 years ago*.

Since this is the last season, for those liking this kind of drama, you can get your fix with the Spanish Vis-A-Vis (Locked-up), it is as good. I would say it’s a mix of Wentworth and Prison Break but in women’s prison….and you have 5 seassons and a sequel…

Gothic 2 points 5 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Not only yeah, BUT HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I remember Prisoner Cell Block H, thanx uploader WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO Binge watching time, again thanx…..

8STORY8 -1 points 5 years ago*. 4/5 stars.

Thanks Gothic, that’s what I needed to hear in order to delve back into this again where I had left off (which I think was S5 finale). I wanted to know if itcontinues to be as awesomely ridiculously engaging as it had been. I think you expressed HELL YEAH!!! and WOOOHOO that it is. :D haha couldn’t be more expressive me thinks! LOL love it.

Gothic 0 points 5 years ago. 5/5 stars.

Lmao, I’m still binging on it lol, then again I watch weird stuff. O.o

SYLCollective 1 points 5 years ago. 4/5 stars.

This show is awesome, but I liked “Prisoner : Cell Block H” better, which is the show that inspired this one, it’s an oldie but a goodie :) you can find it on YouTube.

Brilliantly written Powerful actors

Pookabean 1 points 3 years ago.

I just started watching “Prisoner cell block H” Considering the year it was brought out, it’s ok so far. The actors back then weren’t nearly as good as the actors in “Wentworth”!!! It’s too bad the Wentworth series wasn’t a weekly one like the old series apparently was. 89 to 100 episodes per season!!! That would be totally awesome!!!

I’ve never seen the original, after watching this, I just can’t imagine the characters being played by anyone else lol

Pookabean 1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

There are a couple of people from our Wentworth, that played in the Prisoner cell block H. I dunno, to me it’s like watching a soap opra… but not as good of acting as even today’s soap opera’s! I so totally love “WENTWORTH” and wish they would come up with a way to keep it going!! The one they have playing “Frankie” in the old series…….”BLAH” just doesn’t work.

mary 1 points 3 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

YES! And in the new episode, they’re gonna introduce a character that was in the original one “eve wilder” (i think, that’s her name) Really excited about that!

This will always be my favourite show. Had the honour to meet Ferguson, Bea, Boomer and Allie in person at a Wentworth Con. Best day of my life! I recommend this show to everyone and I have never heard negative feedback. I love my Wentworth <3

greenguy86 1 points 6 months ago.

Lucky! By far one of the best shows ever. It wasn’t always good but highly entertaining.

greenguy86 1 points 3 years ago.

We are looking at Aug. 24 for the premiere of the second half of season 8(some say its season 9). But that will be the final season.
