Clink

Looking at the breakdown of the ratings I thought that men were just rating it lower because it's a show about women. That was a wrong assessment.

The new governess had beed the deputy governess for two weeks, but now seems to know nothing about the prison.

The "intimidating" inmate is someone you'd have a little laugh at, and would be a minor annoyance at worst. There is also no way anyone would confuse her as part of the staff.

You've got a bungling new guard who sits on control panels and can't find his way around even with a map. It's not a big prison, walking through it once you'd remember where everything is.

When I started watching this, first thoughts on the programme is that it is full of bad dialogue as they sound like they are on a playground talking to each other. I thought I would give it a chance on episode 2 but it just gets worse with bad visual effects and even more bad dialogue and more bad acting. I do not recommend watching this unless you are struggling with something to watch.

People need to understand this was made with a low budget so people rating it below a 3 clearly don't understand tv the cast is good considering it's all British actors and actresses also the plot line could be better but the show definitely has potential it's never going to be as good as bad girls,wentworth or oitnb!!! Definitely worth watching if you like prison tv shows

As a fan of prison dramas such as Bad Girls, Prisoner: Cell Block H and Wentworth, I was intrigued when I heard that a new women's prison drama would be coming UK screens in 2019. When I heard that that it was going to be an original production for 5Star and that it was going to be called "Clink", I started to think bad acting, awful writing and that it won't last beyond the first season. After watching the first episode, I have to say I was pretty surprised, as it was a little better than I expected it would be. The one thing that actually got me interest was that Alicya Eyo who played prisoner, Denny Blood in Bad Girls was going to be the governor in this series. When I watched it however, I wasn't exactly bored, but wasn't thrilled either. Nothing dramatic, no fights, not even a sense of threat. The prisoners are actually polite. The acting is just ok. There isn't that nervous build-up when you know something big is coming. It's no Bad Girls and I doubt it ever will be as good, but I think it may have potential to go somewhere. I can't exactly recommend it, but at least watch the first episode, you'll know if you want to go any further.

Loving the series so far! The actors are great choices.
