It seems that the recent trend in tv these days is to see women locked up and violent. Strange if you ask me, but it appears that no one cares what I think, as HBO is working on an adaptation of the female British prison drama and FOX is moving forward on a Prison Break spinoff set in a women's jail.
Following in this trend, networks were eager to catch a glimpse of a new tv pilot called Women in Chains! (Yes, the exclamation mark is part of the title) which was released on Tuesday.
This female prison drama is set to star Rose McGowan, who I will always remember from the evil role she played in Jawbreaker, which makes prison seem like a suitable place for her.
Others may remember her as the crazy girlfriend of freaky Marilyn Manson. She's definitely doing much better for herself now and is reportedly engaged to Robert Rodriguez, of Sin City fame, who is set to direct Women in Chains! (seen with Rose in picture on left)
The premise is a throwback to the women-in-prison exploitation classics of the 70's. Keep your eye out to see which network picks up the show first. It will definitely make for a killer lineup.

I think this could be an excellent, fun series. So much of what you see on TV is waaaaay timid. Some edgy exploitation of women in chains would go down good right about now.
