Jailbirds

I watched the entire series in one sitting and was never really bored. I also laughed out loud and their brilliant and yet gross method of communicating with members of the opposite sex.

The only issue is that there isn't much of a backstory nor is there a follow-up on the inmates. We're just basically thrown into a story with not much of a beginning nor an end. The first episode shows a 19-year old girl in jail for carjacking and then by episode 2 there is no more mention of her. Um, what happened????

But still, it's quite entertaining and educational on how prison life is.

I put this show on for background noise while I cleaned my house. Boy howdy, it delivered on that front. I wasn't expecting to like it, so I can't say whether I really liked or not. I'm kinda meh about it. But I did read one review here that was outraged over the "lesbian wedding" and stating how "those people need psychiatric help" and how they "shouldn't be on our streets" and blah blah blah. And all I can I say to that person is, I would rather have lesbians and people trying to turn their lives around on our streets than drug dealers and judgmental people like you.

I live in Sacramento, and I thought it might be interesting to learn this ladies stories. I tried to have a open mind, but increasingly was annoyed at all the bad choices. I personally feel sad for the children these women left behind, and hope they're are being cared for.

I love this show but it would be nice to learn how the inmates of this series ended up. It's like we get to learn why they are there and who is waiting for them on the outside we'll see them on one episode and then never again, and we never even learn if they made it out or if we do fins out we don't get to know if they stayed out.

Jailbirds appeared with no forewarning but has me desperately clinging to hope for a second season! We binged the first season over two days and we were captivated by the horrors and indeed the wonders of jail life! The show has been masterfully filmed and edited so you see everything from love, loss and betrayal to fighting, friendships... even a wedding! It's like a soap opera but then you remind yourself these are real women, not actresses... And all are criminals! You will learn simply mind-blowing things about life in jail including the amazing all-in-one waste disposal, "phone" system and cell-to-cell delivery system....! Jailbirds has been beautifully filmed for Netflix and a simply perfect soundtrack has been added to evoke plenty of emotion whilst following the female inmates! You will truly connect with the ladies as they struggle with relationships, turmoil and jail politics! I laughed, I cried, I was shocked but most of all I was thoroughly entertained and felt a real kinship with the ladies because of the skilful documentary-making here!
