Orange May Be The 'New Black,' But 'Wentworth' Is Where It's At

Bea Smith is the new “Red” Reznikov. Not really, they just share the same nickname.

Everyone has heard about Orange Is the New Black and the struggles of Piper Chapman.

Speaking of struggles, can you believe Season 5 is already come and gone!? Yes, I binge watched all thirteen episodes in two days, like many other people. And I will complain for the rest of the year waiting for Season 6, like many other people. But how many of you have heard of Wentworth!? It’s also on Netflix, but not a Netflix original. Wentworth is the Australian prison show surrounding the life of women in prison. I just wanted to share some of my thoughts with you about the show. NO SPOILERS AHEAD (Except for OITNB and Glee)!

1. Where are the orange uniforms?

Maybe if they did have orange uniforms, it would be too similar to OITNB?

2. Speaking of preferring.. I prefer Wentworth over OITNB! Sorry, not sorry.

The episodes are a bit darker than we’re used to, figuratively and literally, (if you’re not sure of the difference, go check out Series of Unfortunate Events, also on Netflix. I have a problem, guys). The episodes are more gut wrenching, the romance is more developed, and nothing is predictable! Okay but seriously, IT IS JUST THAT GOOD! Seriously. I love OITNB and have been following Piper and her gang for three years now, but Wentworth is a show I wish I would have discovered sooner.

3. Why do I feel like I’m watching Chicken Run!?

We all vaguely remember that movie with claymation chickens and something about them being trapped. Maybe that’s why? They’re both in prisons! But seriously, all I can think about is these actresses voicing the chickens in Chicken Run (Especially Liza). Is it just me?

4. I miss the OITNB theme song.

Every time a new episode starts, I find myself wanting to belt out “You’ve Got Time,” but alas, this is not that theme song. Maybe I’ll learn this new song after I finish binge watching through Season 5 (Same amount of seasons as OITNB).

5. Why is my face leaking?

I’m not one to be crying over some show, except for one time in OITNB and Glee, but this show has made actual tears fall from my face not once, but multiple times!! Bring tissues guys.

6. Why doesn’t this show have more followers and media hype??

Seriously guys! GO WATCH WENTWORTH and let me know what you think!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
