Was OZ a good show?

[Bay Area]

I am finishing up on the Wire, which is crazy good, and I want a show just as immersing. Breaking Bad is not available on the software I have, so I am thinking about OZ. is it worth it?

It had some characters. Entertaining show. Lots of man-rape. Could be a good or bad thing, depends on how much reality you're willing to deal with.

I've watched some episodes.The acting is top notch.You have HBO and Law and Order veterans in a few episodes.The storylines are pretty decent.Again I didn't watch that many episodes.Unfortunately,you have to have a strong stomach.Theres shanking,buttt*****ing,etc.But its a show about prison so that's expected.

Out of curiosity, why can't you get Breaking Bad?

Do you know how to use torrents? Or get Netflix, which has season 1-4 online?

I just started watching the Wire (finally!) and am almost done with season 1. Pretty good so far.

OP, have you seen Sopranos? That is my favorite show, ever.

Oz is a fantastic show, although it's a bit ridiculous at times and it gets a kind of depressing that anything good that happens to anyone is either temporary or falls apart fantastically.

I've seen sopranos boardwalk game of thrones. My wife has this chinese software on her computer and BB isn't on there. Is Netflicks expensive?

Season 1 of the wire ain't shit. It gets better

I got about halfway through the first season, not my cup of tea.

O'Reilly, Adebesi, Beecher, and Dr. Gloria Nathan make the show awesome.

Lot of cool prisoners come in and get offed.

Oz was a badass show. I liked it alot. It showed a little too much peepee on the show though, could have done without that.

 

[TSK]

It is a very good show.

 

[Kanster]

It's better than Breaking Bad for sure and almost as good as The Wire.

So yeah, it definitely worth watching.

 

[Big John]

Watch Oz, Rome, Deadwood, Walking Dead, or Dexter.

Hit it's peak season 4 with Adebesi's takeover. Went a bit down hill afterwards.

 

[J Storm**]

if u liked The Wire u will like Oz simply b/c half the cast of The Wire is in Oz.

way to much dicks and man ass. I have had friends that did stints in prison and they say the shoe went a bit overboard. Then again those guys were in prison and they may have been fucked with and don't want to give the show credence.

 

[theocean]

I really liked OZ, some of the characters in the show are still some of my favorite characters... some are badass... id say its worth it to watch it.

 

[Bay Area]

Watch Oz, Rome, Deadwood, Walking Dead, or Dexter.

I was gonna check out Rome too. Does it only have 2 seasons?
