Thomas D @Thom1967 Mar 8 Probably the best prison series l have watched ! Originally presented on each episode, funny at some moments, dark and violent sometimes… You should try it ! I wouldn’t call it unforgettable but IT DOES THE TRICK quite brilliantly. See more Seth K @RT03219903 Oct 21 Let me start with what I liked: the acting, directing and production values. There were a number of superb performances by the regulars and guest stars. I found "Oz" to be entertaining and fast-moving. That said, I also found it to be unrealistic, exaggerated and with many character and plot lapses and jumps - in short, pure soap opera. Now, that's not a bad thing. Arguably, most series are soaps intended to keep you moving from episode to episode. But ultimately, for me, the inconsistencies and wildly implausible plot twists and turns made me give it 4, and not 5 stars.

A Perfect Storm of Production, Writing, Directing, Acting, & even the ominous Music, OZ is among the very best the Crime Drama Genre has to offer. Suffice to say: the "VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED" Warning was made for shows like this.....and OZ pulls exactly ZERO Punches in that vein. 🤔⚖ Does it have it's Problems: Sure......is the Last Season nowhere near as good as previous Seasons (?) Like so many other popular/successful shows: YES. But as a Cohesive WHOLE: it is a Dramatic Juggernaut and the "Good does not Wash Out The Bad...(but) ...Nor the Bad the Good."

Can't recommend it enough ( Be warned: "Viewer Discretion is Strongly Advised" indeed....and Then Some. ) See more Nancy W @RT03606168 05/09/2025 No-miss TV's 1st incarnation, Hbo's OZ seldom ever disappoints!
