It's “unashamedly, ludicrously implausible” but Wentworth is great

The Televisionaries

Host Louise Rugendyke is joined by Green Guide and Guide editor Paul Kalina and Spectrum deputy editor Kylie Northover to discuss the women of Wentworth Correctional Centre, they wonder if killing central characters off is wise and look back at one of the most controversial, legally fraught and popular crime series Australia has produced - season one of Underbelly. The critics also play a game of Career Criminal and, as always, they reveal what they’re bingeing when they’re off duty.
