Those of you who tuned in to the first episode of Wentworth (aka Wentworth Prison) expecting wobbling walls and paper machete set pieces will have been sorely disappointed. Unlike a certain well known other Australian women's prison drama series from yesteryear Wentworth seemingly has a budget that stretches beyond paying for catering for an expanding cast of hungry women. But will this re imagining of Prisoner Cell Block H prove as popular with the great British public? Wentworth focuses on the plight of one woman who is held in remand at Wentworth Prison. Played to doe eyed perfection by Danielle Cormack Bea Smith is your typical fish out of water as she tries (and fails) to adjust to her time in the all-women's prison surrounded by corrupt cops, drug users, killers, angry lesbians and scary old hags. It will be interesting to see how she transforms herself over the duration of the show into the Queen Bea we all know and love from 25 years ago. The show wastes little time in getting to the action as within mere minutes of the opening credits are we thrust into a sexual encounter involving two women. Sadly for us guys this was the only such moment but it does give us hope for the remainder of the season. Call me a pervert if you like but that's why most guys - and some girls - tuned in in the first place. Once we got past the sex there was a sub plot revolving around who the most dominant female on the Cell Block was which at first appeared to be a good looking, tattooed lady but by the end of the show power had shifted to some terrifying older bird who looked like the evil mother from The Goonies. Audiences and critics alike have applauded Wentworth describing it as some of the best television to come out of Australia in a very long time. Considering Neighbours and Home and Away are about the only TV shows anyone can name from down under that isn't saying very much. The main criticism I had though was perhaps they shoehorned too much in to a single episode. After only an hour we'd had graphic sex, domestic violence, drug muling and right at the conclusion of the episode a murder mystery. Are we to believe this is a typical day in Wentworth Prison? How can the next day top it? Or the next day? Sometimes it makes more sense to start off slow but I guess the producers didn't get the memo. You can join all the mayhem and follow the murder mystery by tuning in each Wednesday night at 10pm on Channel 5.
