Prisoner needed to end
July 16, 2005
Today was one of those days where you are glad you had, but cringe when you think of everything else you could have been doing. I spent a large part of today watching the last two DVD's of Prisoner: Cell Block H.
I'd previously viewed the first DVD (each DVD features four episodes). Today's viewing included:
The Terrorist Siege (Episodes 536, 550, 551 & 552)
A commando squad take the women hostage and ruthlessly murder one of Wentworth's most popular inmates. Also included is a bonus 'flashbacks' episode featuring clips from early years of the series.The End
The famous Episode 600 & 601 riot, and the series dramatic conclusion 691 & 692 – four of the best episodes in the series history.
Sadly, after watching episodes that I have never seen previously (I had stopped watching Prisoner after moving to the city), I didn't realize how it had deteriorated. The terrorist episodes went on too long, however the last two episodes were actually quite good (I even shed a tear).
