Good Wentworth Month - Season Five


Good news came to our TV sets at the start of my Good News Month, April 4th to be exact. Wentworth returned for it's fifth and most engaging season yet. Yes every season builds but season five has had to deal with the blow of no more queen Bea Smith and also early on Maxine was leaving for another facility.

Both fan favourites were out two episodes in, however Franky has stepped up, The Freak is out of control and Sigrid Thornton's Sonia Stevens has really stepped up. Liz had been drifting and mainly due to Sonia's story seemingly going nowhere, but now we are in the midst of a new serial killer.



Franky Doyle has long been a fan favourite, however on the outside it was never as existing as when she was on the inside either fighting with Bea or generally running a muck.

With a foul mouth in tow again this year and things on the rocks with Bridget, a new alliance and relationship seems a shoe in with Bea's former flame Allie Novak.

Allie has also stepped up this season and one can only wonder what will become with her and The Freak.

Missing out on any Logies this year (what a CRIME) Foxtel's other terrific Aussie mini series Secret City beat them to the post.

Wentworth is a great news story for Australia TV. The acting and story lines are top notch and the more you watch the show the more it draws you in. This is up there with any high standard Netflix or HBO show. Well done Foxtel, now please give us the news Season Six is a sure thing, please?
