We have been all-in on Wentworth for 8 seasons. We’ve already seen all of Season 8, and if you are a Ferguson fan, you’re in for a treat.
If Wentworth is new to you, think OITNB without the snark. Wentworth plays it straight. Wentworth is based on the old “women behind bars” soap opera, Prisoner: Cell Block H, but all it really has in common is the original set-up and some character names. Let’s compare trailers!
Here are a few of our favorite characters!
VERA
FRANKY
WILL
BEA
And of course… FERGUSON
And a little fun stuff:
Love After Lockup
Our true guilty pleasure is this reality show that centers around romances between men and women and newly released inmate penpals. Given how overly produced (written and manipulated) this show and all of reality TV is, Love After Lockup has a remarkably high amount of hilariousness and some genuine and touching moments.
Brittany- sad story to success story.
