They should do a female version of "Oz"


Set in a women's prison. A maximum security one, not "Orange is the New Black" stuff.

Of course, not literally gender-bending the "Oz" characters, just a similar concept in a women's maximum security prison.

Could take place in Texas

That would be cool. I would like to be able to see naked women at times

Thirty-Five years ago I used to watch something called "Prisoner: Cell Block H" set in an Aussie or British prison! It was all female for the most part and ran for years every night at 10 pm in the U.S. IIRC! 

Orange is The New Black

That's what I was thinking. People kept telling me to watch the Orange show and I haven't because I watched Oz during its original run. Seems like the same thing, down to the explicit nature, confronting events and violence. I'm sure it has its own thing going on but I've only got space for one prison show in my life!

Wentworth.

As mentioned Prisoner Cell Block H and Wentworth, plus the British shows Bad Girls and Clink ( although that only lasted a season)
