Members Cheap21 Posted June 20, 2014 Members Share Posted June 20, 2014 Anyone watch this series from the UK? Wasn't sure quite where to put it. More drama than soap but it definitely had elements of that. It was about a women's prison and got quite dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2014 Had no idea who that was so I went and googled and see you mean Claire King, who played Karen Betts, the best warden the show had. Loved her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted June 21, 2014 Members Share Posted June 21, 2014 I wanna say I watched the first three seasons when this became known in the US and I enjoyed what I saw. I plan on buying the complete series box set once i'm done with Footballers Wives. These two shows were *so* good. I'm sad neither got US remakes. I know they tried (twice for Bad Girls, a NBC & HBO pilot were filmed), but I don't see why they didn't realize how good the concept was and keep trying til it worked. As we see with Orange Is the New Black, a Bad Girls US remake could've been huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 OITNB rios off several BG storylines and characters, IMO. Guard falling in love with inmate and impregnating her? BG did it. Twice. Fenner=Pornstache. Red=Yvonne. Nicky=Denny. He'll, even Piper and her partner in crime Alex incarcerated at the SAME PRISON smacks of Cassie and Roisin.

Members Ben Posted October 18, 2014 Members Share Posted October 18, 2014 If you guys loved Bad Girls, I recommend you try Wentworth - the reboot of the classic Prisoner (Cell Block H for UK fans) - which is totally awesome, and way better than BG at its best (IMO).
