Wentworth Review

This episode of Wentworth was okay. I am really surprised Franky was able to clear her name so quickly. The best part was the preview for the next episode. Marie Winter was one of the best characters in the old Prisoner. Hopefully, she’ll be just as good in Wentworth. We shall see. The boxing scenes are pretty predictable. The episode wasn’t bad. A 7 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of Wentworth right now.
