Video : Wentworth
Fans of the iconic Prisoner series which pushed boundaries over three decades ago and still today boasts a loyal following worldwide, will remember Bea Smith as gutsy and fearless, ruling Wentworth Correctional Center with an iron fist.
But who was Bea Smith before prison? How did a wife and mother from the suburbs become a top dog without rival?
Wentworth is a dynamic, often confronting, drama series that begins with Bea’s early days in prison. Set in the present day, it is a modern adaptation of Prisoner contemporising legendary characters and their stories for today’s audience. This ten-part series takes the viewer inside to an uncompromising environment exploring the politics of women in a world without men, and how such a threatening experience both challenges and often changes those confined and working behind the razor wire.
In the realm of gripping television dramas, few shows have captured audiences quite like "Prison Break." Premiering in 2005, this action-packed series takes viewers on an exhilarating ride filled with suspense, mystery, and heart-pounding moments. The first season introduces us to an intricate web of conspiracy that leads to one man's desperate attempt to save his innocent brother from death row. With its compelling narrative and richly developed characters, "Prison Break" sets a high standard for storytelling that keeps fans coming back for more.
At the heart of Season 1 is Michael Scofield, played masterfully by Wentworth Miller. Scofield's determination to break his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) out of Fox River State Penitentiary is both commendable and harrowing. The political conspiracy framing Lincoln adds layers of complexity to their plight, making every episode a nail-biting experience as viewers witness Michael's elaborate escape plan unfold. As he navigates through prison life filled with dangerous inmates and corrupt guards, fans are drawn deeper into the emotional stakes surrounding family loyalty and sacrifice.
The ensemble cast further enhances the show’s appeal, featuring notable actors such as Robert Knepper as Theodore 'T-Bag' Bagwell, who brings an unsettling charm to the character; Sarah Wayne Callies as Sara Tancredi, whose role evolves significantly throughout the series; and William Fichtner as Alexander Mahone—an FBI agent obsessed with recapturing escaped convicts. Each character contributes uniquely to the story's tension and drama while also presenting moral dilemmas that resonate with viewers on various levels.
