Tom Shales Washington Post 06/19/2018
Oz remains full of treachery, terror and sudden moments of quixotic tenderness. No one could be blamed for wanting to hide behind the couch until it's over, but those who do watch are likely to find themselves gripped, buzzed and spellbound. Go to Full Review Michele Greppi New York Post 06/19/2018
It is a soap opera set in a land we never, never want to visit but that nonetheless is not that foreign because it lies just around the big and little corners that get cut every day. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 06/19/2018
The makers of this series have little interest in good unless it's about to be soiled. Not for the squeamish, Oz is a soap opera set in hell. Go to Full Review Ted Olsen Christianity Today 04/16/2020

What I always loved the most about Oz was how often I was surprised and shocked by the events in nearly every episode... The third season doesn't disappoint in that regard. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
