Wentworth Review

This episode of Wentworth was hit and miss. It had some good moments, but they were quickly ruined by bad moments. The Will, Vera and Jake storyline is pretty good. Unfortunately, it isn’t realistic to believe that they would dig up the body just to make sure it is still there. It is also dumb to think that someone would care enough about Ferguson to seek vengeance. Marie and Drago setting up Rita was great. That too was ruined. There was no climax.

Instead, Rita found an easy way out and a character that mattered very little was killed or at least beaten to death. It was just piss poor writing. If Liz is going to be an invalid, they need to get rid of her. I am already tired of that storyline. It adds nothing to the show. The episode wasn’t a total bust, but it could have been much better. It scores a 6 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Wentworth now.
