Bad Girls

Christmas special aside, it's almost certain we saw the last of Bad Girls tonight. And what a pitiful swansong.

OK, so the show is known for its surreal plots and (dare I say it) escapism, but compare this series to last year and you'll realise just how poor it was. A screw who falls in love with an inmate and gets her pregnant, too much emphasis on the sordid lives of Lou Stoke and her sister, and, most disappointing of all, one inmate murders another, disposes of the body with no repercussions.

All a far cry from the very beginning when graphic de-crotchings, inmates being bullied to death or stabbing officers was the norm. So who's to blame? ITV of course, who in their wisdom ordered major changes this year because of disappointing ratings last time.

The result was a pantomime of a series, so the time is right to put this animal down.

I actually loved this series. I thought it was one of the best series of Bad Girls.

I liked this series all so, I hope Bad Girls stays for at least 1 more series to wrap up loose endings.

Therein lay the problem. It did anything but tie up loose ends...it was as if the events of last year didn't happen.

I enjoyed this series, but I agree, it simply doesn't compare to the earlier series.

This series may not have been one of the strongest of the show, but I did enjoy watching some of it.



I don't think there should be another full series; perhaps a 1 1/2 hour special?

I also thought this series of Bad Girls was good, especially towards the beginning and end. The middle episodes with the Dr Dunlop, Lou and her sister storyline were boring, but still, I would be sad to see Bad Girls go.

That wouldn't be a bad idea.
