i like the idea of a soapie with its plot twists and turns, but i dont care about ramsey street, or summer bay or the dimwits that populate it, cos watching people just going about their lives is pretty dull, and old. but how many times do you get to see a bunch of women prisoners plotting an having scragfights and chainsmoking? NEVER!
and of course i love the acting and the storylines.
i also like the general look of the series. i know people laugh at some of the sets, but i love them. they don't look all that fake to me. i sigh at the familiar sight of two prisoners sitting cross legged on those old armchairs, chainsmoking, while doreen, lizzy, and queen bea play cards for cigarettes, while smoking anyway.
i was born in melbourne, so when they go on location, it's usually somewhere in the eastern suburbs, and i try to spot where it could be.
has anyone noticed how whenever they are outside, it's really windy?
