 Worst Era Of Prisoner...
Though the majority of the show was brilliant television, there are certain eras in the show which seem far better/worse than others...
I'm currently around the 560 mark first time watching.
I've heard a lot of criticism about the Barnhurst 5 era, and granted they haven't been in that long where i am... but i really don't find it better or worse than usual... - the only thing i would say is that Lexie Patterson (hardly an old lag) is about the only original around the place atm.
But personally, the worst era for me is around the 370 mark... Nola has had her exit... Maxine is back inside (was always one of my least liked characters) Maggie May Kennedy, Lainie (left not long ago) Micky#2 and her non committed boyfriend, Litza and her Greek family issues (didn't we do this once before with Karen Travers? likewise with Scott and Petra about to come along) and the halfway house... all combine to make this my least favorite era. (thank god for Brandy Carter!)
The show seemed to have a depressed feel to it during these episodes too... wrapping up all the loose ends for the characters who were soon departing... even Judy is less energetic than usual, Joan hasn't been spending much time in prison leaving just Colleen and Meg who hardly seem to be interacting with anyone.
I still watch on however because dismal as this era is there are still things to enjoy throughout them and i know better stuff and more exciting characters are soon with us....
What do you think is a particularly bad era?
