Prisoners Wives

This some of the finest TV programming you will come across today.. with numerous performances that just leave you in awe of the talent exhibited. Look at most any actor in this show, and you will see something special. It could take a couple episodes to get 'hooked'.. but once you're 'in'.. you will NOT think of leaving again. There are so many top notch performances, it's hard to single out any one of them, but go on Bing.com and view all the images for Emma Rigby. She's not only got acting talent (proven by her outstanding performance in PW.. more than holding her own alongside the amazing Polly Walker).. but she is in addition without question, one of the most intensely alluring women on the planet. The list of high quality work goes on and on, involving almost every cast member. This is truly what all TV dramas should be striving for.. and what viewers should understand is made to look so easy, but only comes with much talent, hard work, and extreme dedication.

I was surprised to see so few reviews for this. The basis of the drama, focusing on the wives/mothers of male prisoners, was promising. Very gritty, exploring the tensions within families arising from crime, or accusations of crime.

I binged my way through both series, but by the last episode it was becoming tiresome. The story lines are often unrealistic and the dialogue is often weak. Nicola Walker is outstanding but some of the other actors are not so good, but probably making the best of the material they are working with.

As the episodes progressed, some of the excruciating scenes became steadily more so. In particular, I found myself wanting to skip all the scenes involving Harriet. No criticism of Pippa Haywood who played her, it was just the way the character behaved.

Overall, I'm not sorry I watched it but there are many better dramas.

What a brilliant series,

Superbly acted and directed.

One of the best TV series I've seen in the last 5 years.

Riveting. I can only hope there is another couple of series coming. There is no a single weak acting performance. Its realistic, its gritty yet tender. This series has hooks pulling you in from start to finish. Some of the acting is stellar. i cannot rate this show highly enough. Do yourself a favour and download the whole series. Like The Walking Dead...its one of those shows where one episode is not enough. English dramas are generally good but this is top shelf.

What an amazing show I just binge watched the first season and it was amazing very realistic and very character driven. I can't believe t th is show was cancelled so soon. I'm confused I've just started the 2nd season and am all ready dreading that it will end so soon.

Well made with great plots. It is a very good show I'm worried now that I'm at the end of it I hope they have more episodes and hopefully seasons.
