Wentworth Review

This episode wasn’t as bad as the last one, but it wasn’t much better. The show doesn’t have a direction any more. It feels like things have been pieced together haphazardly. Little was said about Sonia’s murder. Vera’s stalker sure popped out of nowhere. Allie, Kaz, Ruby and Rita aren’t interesting in the least. Liz’s dementia is a bore too. Sadly, the series is going nowhere.

Sadly, Wentworth started out with a bang and is dying with a whimper. This season doesn’t even have a strong storyline. What is the point? Is it supposed to be a battle between Kaz and Marie? I am quickly losing interest. Perhaps it should have died with Bea? The episode scores a 5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Wentworth now.
