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.
