Why Wentworth Is Better Than Orange Is The New Black

That's right, I said it.

1. "Franky Doyle", AKA Nicole da Silva

While being much more adorable and badass than Ruby Rose's character......need I say more?


2. It's based out of Australia

The accents. The use of the slang "cuppa". Everyone is a "mate". -dreamy sigh-


3. Thicker romance

The love between Bea and Allie is much more unpredictable and sincere than Brook and Poussey's (Same with Franky and Ms. Westfall versus Alex and Piper's mess of a relationship).

4. The show as a whole is not as predictable

I love OITNB, but I could sense where the show was going a lot.


5. More gore

There's a lot of violence within Wentworth. Burning, shanking, brutal beatings -- you name it. (A lot of heart-strings are pulled in this series).


6. The adorable sisterhood between characters, versus everyone being so high-strung

Their friendship took off from day one, even if it was very aggressive.


7. How unbelievably trustworthy characters in this series are (especially Maxine)

And what did we learn from OITNB? "Trust no bitch". I disagree 100%.

8. The soundtrack is much better

With tracks from Glasser, Greg Laswell, and Sarah Blasko, you really can't beat it.

Mouse, Cookie, Chaos!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
