There is no other show on television that could possibly feature this scene:

Two women kneel in a prison yard. One of them, a butch lesbian called Boo, is wearing a scary clown outfit that is in no way suitable for the eyes of children.

The other is a meth-head murderer, Tiffany “Pennsatucky” Doggett, and she is looking at five tiny crosses planted in the ground. They represent the abortions she had before she found Christianity in jail.

Pennsatucky is in jail because she shot the nurse who made a smart comment to her about how often they saw her down at the abortion clinic.

The fact that these are not characters you usually see in a prime-time drama is not even the point.

The point is the conversation they are having.

Firstly, Boo is taking the piss out of Pennsatucky, because her dead fetuses all have names that start with the letter ‘B’: Blake, Bonnie, Braeden, Boyd and Buddy Jnr. Hilarious.

And then Boo, in half-seriousness takes her meth-head buddy through the reasons why she should not feel bad about her terminations.

She cites the book Freakanomics, by Stephen J. Dubner and Steven D. Levitt. She discusses the impact of Roe Vs Wade, the landmark US abortion ruling, on crime statistics. She gently, sarcastically convinces Pennsatucky that it was a far, far better thing to have done to spare these children a crappy childhood and a life of crime and neglect.

She says:

And then the two of them go back to jail.

This never happened on Packed To The Rafters.

Watch the scene, here (Post continues after video):

Let’s be honest here. The view from your lounge has never looked brighter.

There have never been fewer reasons to leave the house.

And there is the glorious realisation: you never, ever, have to watch dumb TV ever again.

That’s why Australians love Netflix, Stan, Fetch and all their little friends. That, and the fact that they no longer need to be held hostage by infuriating TV networks who cancel, move and split their favourite shows, who have no regard for when and how you want to bond with your “stories” – and the fact that you want to watch the shows that everyone is talking about, right now, not next year.

But really, there is only one reason to worship at the feet of Netflix this week: Orange Is The New Black.

Maybe you already love it.

Maybe you’re resisting. If you are. Forget it.

It’s everything.

What is your favourite show to binge-watch at the moment?
