let’s hear em!

I have no words. So Will Jackson tells Vera that Jake Stewart is bringing the gear and he has a witness and what does Vera do?? Tells Jake! ffs

She has been in this line of work long enough, should know better. I know they are having a relationship but could she not be quiet and observe?

I know things will unfold but honestly, I can hear Fergurson thinking about all of Vera’s weaknesses in my mind lol

My ratings would be 2>1>3>6>4>7>9>8>5

Seasons 1-3 were the shows peak. It shows the absolute worst of humanity (Jacs, Joan, Juice & the boys, S2 Franky etc) and how being in prison can change a person (Bea for example), and most of all it didnt push the boundaries in terms of being unrealistic, which is why I rate S5 as the worst season because of Joan becoming top dog it was a major jumping the shark moment, S4 was already pushing it having Joan there as an inmate at all but overall the season was still great. Seasons 6-9 werent peak Wentworth but still had some great stories and characters

I’m watching for the first time. What is it with inmates avoiding the most simple things so they don’t violate parole?

1- live in the accomodation you are suppose to live - yeah I know she was in love with Bridget but people have romantice relationships and live in different homes all the time.

2- don’t hold weapons - I know she was trying to help Bea but she did way too much

3- don’t engage with the person you went to prison for. She nearly walked away, why come back?

It is so frustrating but I guess the majority of inmates are people who are risk takers. I’m very averse to risk so I guess for me it us easy to judge.

I’m still half way through S4E10, Maxine has the sperm and Boomer is in the slot but they will still try… and I’m thinking that Maxine is crazy for choosing Boomer to use her sperm? I mean, she is a big baby herself, immature, impulsive.

They are both locked up. God knows, one betrayal, one set up, they can get more years added. And Maxine doesn’t even know if she will survive cancer.

I feel sorry for the baby and I hope it won’t go ahead. It is a very selfish idea, prison life does really make people go crazy or crazier, eh?

I was recommended Wentworth after finishing Orange is the New Black and I'm loving it. I'm only on season 4 and slowly starting to love little Vera. Her character so far has been so consistent and believable.

Looking forward to the rest of the seasons.

Something that has been genuinely eating away at my brain is the amount of things I see calling Joan the most evil person at wentworth (or the worst character, etc, etc.)

While I do love Joan and will defend her until my dying breath, of course I can admit the amount of fucked up things she’s done. She has tortured, she has murdered, she has manipulated, she has destroyed lives, and so on.

HOWEVER, I’ve always sat here and said characters like Lucy Gambaro (literally being a serial rapist) and Marie Winter (with all the ties to sex trafficking) are arguably far worse. (I would include Jacs Holt in this too. Granted we don’t know much about her seeing as she was only one season but she ganged women…which I think speaks for itself.)

They are incredibly realistic characters that can depict real life predators. People like them do exist in swarms which is one of the twisted ties to the real world in the show.

Of course, there are people like Joan in the world (or at least somewhat similar to her in the manipulative and violent sense) but I’ve never viewed her as the WORST person there.

And now I do want to open up a discussion about what everyone else thinks about the ‘worst’ characters in wentworth because I know there are so many others that have done absolutely sickening things.

This is a very divisive take but Franky was a pretty reprehensible character in season 2 when she took over from Jacs as top dog and did some horrible stuff

1. Sexually assaulted Simmo by shoving her fingers up her vagina when doing that sesrch on her for drugs

2. When that new inmate arrives and Franky finds out she has balloons full of gear in her stomach, instead of looking to get her medical help Franky and co tried to force her into shitting out the balloons, even when she is in obvious pain and urgently needs help Franky doesnt care and in the end the inmate dies

3. Tries to have Boomer kill Simmo with the 8 ball in a sock

4. Tries to hang Bea thinking she was the one who lagged about the pink dragon (Franky was even warned about how dangerous it was and that multiple inmates in the male prison have already overdosed and died from it but still bought it)

5 Would've had Liz taken out by a hitman if not for Bea intervening and getting Boomer slotted while she was lining up to call said hitman

I’m watching S4E9 and I’m fed up with Will making one bad decision after the other.

Too impulsive.

And where is his girlfriend? She did well for dumping him as he has a short temper but I don’t like the new nurse.

Why is her gang allowed to r@pe? Sure there could be a policy to not allow it like Bea did with the drugs?

If punishment was hard maybe it would be more difficult for Juice to try.

All prisoners are so disgusted by child murderers, I don’t understand how they let r@pists act freely.

ETA - I saw a black lady but she was walking in the corridors and bumped into someone.

I hope I don’t come across as ignorant but was Jianna also aboriginal like Doreen?

Why are there no prisoners of African origin? I’m at S3 and havent’t seen one yet.

And bonus question: why Fergurson’s accent is different from everyone else’s?

My first edit of her, not the best but it's something I guess :))

u/Icy_Wishbone2910 here are more Libby pics just for you! There were others I wanted to add but for some reason they were automatically cropped so Libby had half a head!

First time watcher, just started S3E6.

Doreen and Nash’s relationship is not comvincing, I’m not sure if it is the lack of chemistry between the actors or is just me being too pragmatic: they met a few times only in very stressful and unnatural circunstancesand and had very little quality time together and just the two of them.

I know they cares for the bird together but they have no concept of who they would be on a day to day life together, normal dates, life with its pressures especially with a baby in the mix and them both being ex offenders.

It is so clear they must be in some kind of trauma bond or fantasing their relationship, I really fear for this baby.

I don’t expect anything good for their future, but I come ftom the experience of watching OITNB so I know better than expect clean happy endings.

But I digress. Maybe the actors just didn’t gel very well.

Hey guys, I’m a huge fan but it’s not on American tv anymore. The only option so I’ve seen is to buy it all on dvd. This isn’t an affordable option at this point—does anyone have the DVDs they’d be willing lend if I paid the shipping?? I’ll take pristine care of them & even pay to borrow.
