Review of Wentworth

Wentworth (2013–2021)
5/10
Addictive indeed but
15 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I only watched it because of Franky and Bea. People are upset cause Bea dies.

Like it or not every character, every story has to have an end and I think that Bea's story came to an end. Maybe they could have extended it for maybe another season but pretty much that's it. Think about it: she did everything: she killed, got beaten, top dog, got in love, and life sentence so there was no happily ever after for her. End of it.

But what bothered me was that they didn't replace Franky and Bea with someone as amazing and interesting. You could the new characters tried really hard to shock the viewers somehow but.... meh... nothing memorable at all .

After Franky and Bea left there was really nothing new: same stories, same tragedies.

You can tell that Bea, Franky (and maybe Bridget and Allie) are the most loved by the actors that were at Wentworth cons in the past years. I mean, who comes to the Con waiting for Ruby's character actor??? Let's not kid ourselves: everyone comes for Nicole & Danielle & Kate, pretty much that's it.

There are LOTS of bad writing and bad ideas. Like: the way Bea died is way too painful: I mean who decides to kill themselves by going into a screwdriver?

Franky confessed to murdering that officer but absolutely nothing happened, she is not charged!!! How come?? How convenient, right??

Also, Boomer kills Liz and she's not punished, Rubby kills that boy and not punished.

That girl puts Allie in a wheelchair but she is not punished. What's up with that???

Also very bad writing when Bea gets angry with Allie: Allie pulled Bea's head from that sink but then Allie is telling Bea "I saved your life, you we're lying on a puddle ". Noo, Allie pulled Bea's head from a sink. And Allie is telling Bea once that she saved her but Bea's is not listening.

But Allie is telling Bea again that she saved her life and this time Bea is shocked and believes her. Really ??

Doreen character = bleah !!! Glad she left. Last season she was just whining and whining. All you hear is "my baby my baby my baby". Also, she was very ungrateful deserting Bea to go next to the Freak after Bea saved her baby from a burning building!!! Are you kidding me!? This is very bad writing indeed.

Rita character is like "I need to protect my sister, I need to protect my sister" and that's all you hear for 4 seasons = very boring.

Again: lots of bad writing and things that do not make sense ...
