Damn, that sounds good - I wish we could get that here!

Maybe Netflix or something will pick up that show after another season or two - Netflix sometimes has shows from other countries, so maybe they will pick this one up so we can see it as well.

Some info for the curious ---> Wentworth, aka Wentworth Prison.

Ha! Another example that shows that I don't always know what I'm talking about. Yay! An opportunity to gain more knowledge. Now I have to look up that show!

With the star of Prison Break being Wentworth Miller, it isn't hard to see why that would have confused me.

I was confused as well because when I Googled "Wentworth," all that came up was him and his prison show and I was all, that cant be what puddin' is talking about; so I Googled "Wentworth TV" and found it!

Tricky. Very very tricky.

I may have to check it out. I almost never watch anything set in prison. It breaks my heart thinking about the ruined lives. But it does sound good. I heard an interview on NPR with the show's creator too, which piqued my interest.

I did watch Prison Break because of the comparisons to 24, which I had loved. I skipped the season set in the Panamanian jail. Couldn't handle it. I normally cannot take it when people are falsely accused either -- Fugitive-like narratives. But I watched Prison Break. I can't say it was great, but I watched it gluttonously.

If you're talking about Prison Break, I don't think there is much comparison there. To me, it is a different animal entirely. OITNB is based off of a true story, Prison Break is not. Prison Break has the flexibility of being able to take extreme changes in plot/story direction. OITNB doesn't have the ability to change like that.

On a side note (off topic), in my opinion, the actor that I didn't feel received enough credit for his skills from Prison Break, was Robert Knepper.

I loved The Prisoner so I am very interested in finding a way to watch this in Canada. Its often tricky to see some US shows on the computer in Canada unless they are already shown on Canadian tv or Canadian Netflix. Or unless you have one of those programs that allow you to look like your in a different country of your choice. But since this is an Australian tv show I am hopeful...
