Bad Girls Reviews

Newest Review: ... Lahbib had great chemistry which proved very difficult to copy. During the time when 'Bad Girls' was still considered a serious drama, it covered some very dark storylines, such as one officer's abuse of her elderly mother who she was meant to be caring for, domestic violence, and suicide, as well as screening some pretty harrowing scenes. Amongst all this high drama, the occasional bit of humour was very welcome, and some of the inmates schemes like operating an adult chat line from their cells, and making a 'special brew' using rhubarbs from the prison allotment, provided a light-hearted foil for some of the more grim events taking place.... more

'Bad Girls' was a British television drama, shown on ITV between 1999 and 2006. The show lasted for 8 series and centred around Larkhall women's prison, and the lives of the inmates and officers on G-Wing. 'Bad Girls' started out as a gritty drama with hard-hitting, socially relevant relevant plots, but ended as a farce when one of the prison officers was visited by the ghost of a former inmate. Over the first 3 series (when the programme was at its best) the storyline which attracted the most attention from fans was the forbidden love story between inmate Nikki and prison officer Helen. Mandana Jones (Nikki) and Simone Lahbib (Helen) acted their parts ... Read the complete review

Bad Girls was a discontinued series which ran for eight years and was set in HMP Larkhill on G Wing. The show was based on the every day events that went on in the prison, and covered almost every possible thing which could be a problem in a womens prison, from drug smuggeling to murder, sexuality to rape, and everything in between! Most of the prisoners on the G wing were going to be in prison for a very long time, and had been sent there for everything from child abuse to fraud. Anyone who watched bad girls could probably never forget Shell Dockley's (Played by Debra Stephenson, also used to play Frankie in Coronation street) affair with Jim Fenner ( Played by Jack ...

Bad Girls was one of the best drama's on TV that was on at that time, and I couldnt believe it ended. Set in a womens prison, it showed the lives of both the inmates and the officers, and each and every character was brilliant in their own, and I couldnt fault the acting, they made it seem so real. There were so many big storylines in this show, and every series had a big episode, like the one where on of the officers got stabbed, or when an imate blew the prision up in and escape attempt, they were all very dramatic. Throughout the seven years that it was on our screens, the characters changed so often. You have th long timers who were in it from begining to ... Read the complete review

Bad Girls is a prison drama series that ran on ITV between 1999 and 2006. It featured the fictional Larkill Women's Prison, and each week focused on the main inmates and wardens invovled with the prison. The storylines were at times harrowing, and often bridged a numkber of episodes. As such, it is a hard drama to just watch a random episode of. There are those that have one storyline featuring all the way through, but the constant plots and character development throughout each series is lost on those who don't really watch it from the beginning. I first started watching it when I borrowed the box set from a housemate, curled up one afternoon while ... Read the complete review

Bad Girls is a television drama that is set in a women's prison in the UK. The show has been through several series (about six I think) and I do believe that they have finished filming it now. Most of the cast are female, and include stars from other shows. Of course, the characters changed throughout the series, but long term and popular characters included Nikke Wade, Helen Stewart, Bodybag (one you loved to hate!), Shell Dockley, Denny and The Two Julies. One of the meanest characters was Jim Fenner. My personal opinion is that the show was better in the first three series. I think that the characters were more believable, and that ...
