Wentworth Review

This episode of Wentworth was decent. It could have been better though. It is becoming clear that Boomer isn’t getting out. Now, we have Boomer and her mother. We already have too many characters. I am not sure why they felt the need to add more. Of course, there is always a slim chance that Ruby is going to die. I doubt it though. That would be too positive for the series.

I enjoyed Boomer outside of the prison. Sadly, the writers ruined that with May’s thievery. Still, the episode wasn’t horrible. It was just slightly mediocre. It scores a 6.5 out of 10. Catch up with previous recaps of Wentworth now.
