DVD Review: Don't let the title scare you
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best brit series I've seen since "Upstairs, Downstairs" so many years ago. And it actually has some things in common with that venerable high-class 'soap.' Great storytelling and fascinating characters on both sides of the prison bars that you come to care about as if they are very real people indeed.
Not only is this series a 'best-kept secret' on this side of the Atlantic...I thought I was always up on brit tv thanks to PBS, etc. but I had never heard of this series until quite recently and it's been running for almost 8 years! ...also virtually unknown over here is one of the best british actresses I've seen lately, the divine Simone Lahbib. An actress of rare nuance and sensuality who makes the admirable and, at times, maddening Helen Stewart one of the most fascinating and complex characters I've ever enjoyed watching in any series. Who knew a scottish accent could be so sexy?
Lahbib and the superb Mandana Jones as lifer Nikki Wade who is serving time for killing the corrupt copper who was trying to sexually assault her girlfriend have a chemistry together that transcends most working relationships and borders on telepathic. They make sparks. This is one of the most romantic, despite its setting, and angsty, because of its setting, love stories ever filmed for tv. Such a welcome alternative to the sheer silly weirdness into which "The L Word" has descended.
The Love Story is the Heart of the first 3 seasons (I had to send to the UK for series 2 & 3 and get a region-free dvd player in order to watch...and I wanted to see it that badly...and it was bloody well worth it) but the other reviewer is correct, all the characters and storylines are fascinating and the acting uniformly superb across the board. I heard of this series, finally, and wanted to watch because of the lesbian love story, but everything else about it engaged my attention and emotions as well.
Jack Ellis as Jim Fenner is one of the great screen villains.
With a title like "Bad Girls" in this day and age I expected sleaze, like the Aussie soap about women in prison from several years back, but instead I got an insightful, down-to-earth, well-written, beautifully acted program, especially in the stellar first two, less melodramatic, seasons.
And, again, the luscious Lahbib is worth watching in anything.
