Stunningly good TV drama which deserves all the praise it gets. Going to gaol at first doesn't seem too bad - its reasonably clean, there are lots of programs, and a cafe, and chapel, and courses and library, etc. But every day, every hour are things that break the soul: rules and regulations, petty Hitler guards, the complex world of prison politics, over sensitive chefs, manic depressives, drug dealing exes.
There is not a bad performance among the incredible cast. The writing does admittedly fall into the trap of over-zinging instead of realism at times, but the zingers are pretty awesome. Grippy on a simple melodramatic level too. Bound to change how you view women in prison.
