I saw the first episode of "Luke Cage", and while I have to say it was about the weakest opening episode of the Marvel Netflix stuff, it was still quite watchable and I'll be continuing to watch.

We've also been watching through an Australian show called "Wentworth" which is supposed to be a remake of an earlier show called "Prisoner" which in some places was also known as "Cell Block H".

So I have never seen the original aside from late night reruns, 5 minutes here or there...but I don't know how the new one rates by comparison.
I will say this though - for me, it's one of the most solid Australian shows I've seen in years. Excellent characters. Quite brutal at times. People you feel terribly sorry for in the worst way, and then other, repugnant people you feel absolutely repulsed by among both the prisoners to the correctional staff.

It's a bit closer to "OZ" that "Orange is the new Black", but if you liked either of those shows, you might want to see if you can find a way to get your hands on this, it walks the line back and forth between them.
