This was clearly intended as a short series, likely because the writers didn’t expect it to gain much attention. The fast pacing is noticeable, and while I felt there was room for more to happen, the story stayed tightly focused on Bell and Claire instead.

I was rooting for Kae’s character, and I wasn’t satisfied with where her storyline ended. For now, I’m giving it a 5, especially since a second season has been announced and there’s potential for things to improve.

Having watched other prison series like Orange Is the New Black, Vis a Vis, and Wentworth, I didn’t find the story particularly original, and it felt like something was missing. That said, the acting was excellent and remains the strongest part of the series.
