Summary: Best
Review: When I started watcing Oz, I thought that it was too hard, but after a while, I've realized that this is just part of the life.
So, because this series presents life in a true honest way, this is probably my favorite.
The script and dinamic direction are great, and most of all, the connecting parts by Augustos Hill.

Summary: NOT FOR EVERYONE but a damn good show
Review: I'll admit it. I cannot really bear to watch OZ regularly. Not because it is not a well written show--b/;c it is. Not because it is poorly acted--b/c it SO isn't. Not because of the storyline, issues, or pacing--that's all top line. To be completely honest.. it's the full frontal nudity. YEs, I will go ahead and put out there what NO ONE else is saying... Chris Meloni, also in Law and Order: SVU, yeah, he scares me. I simply CANNOT go to sleep with something that large in my face, people. It's disturbing. On top of that, I LIKE Law and Order SVU... how am I supposed to go from seeing him let it ALL--and that's a tall order, or should I say long?--hang out one night to being fully clothed and a hard core family man another night? Perhaps other people are not troubled by the full frontal and more pointedly, the FULL frontal of this particular guy--who seems naked in every episode, or is it just that we notice him more??? And, if you're not bothered by all this in your face, more power to you. b/c you're a bigger viewer than I am--in more ways than one. If I could watch a slightly toned down version--without so many nude shots--I would gladly give this series my attention, b/c it is a well written show. And it is fresh and original! But, it's a little TOO much reality. I could easily get the point of the plot without having to actual see the goods each week. :-)

Summary: My second favorite t.v. show ever.
Review: Season 1 is arguably the best season of Oz ever. It greatly introduced us to all of it's main characters and set the basis for the story's that the show followed up with until the end of Season 6. Season 1 of Oz is just filled with countless classic and memoriable moments. A great show and DVD box set.

Summary: Brutal, Graphic, Excellent
Review: Oz, HBO's first hour-long drama, tends to not get a lot of attention, mostly because of the wild success of "the Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under". But it is an excellent series. Prison really is the perfect place to set a drama series, because there's just so much drama inherent in the situation: violence, sexual abuse, mental illness, guilt, shame, redemption ... the list goes on and on. The writers and actors of "Oz" make excellent use of all the opportunities to explore the darker sides of human life. Aside from being an engrossing drama, "Oz" also serves as an excellent public service announcement, in a way ... because after watching a few episodes, a person would probably think twice about doing anything that could possibly put them in such a horrific situation.

Summary: USD 55+ for 8 episodes (3 Disc)???
Review: First, I would like to say that I have not watched Oz but based on most of the reviews I've read about it, it seems a really good series to watch. However, to spend USD 55+ on an 8 episode series is just not worth it as I would rather spend my money on some other good series like 24 or Smallville.

Summary: It's Okay
Review: Once you've seen the first season, you've seen them all. They just change the people who are involved in basicly the same story line time and again. Very Graphic and Violent.

Summary: A no-brainer for Oz fans
Review: I never missed an episode when they aired. Nice to have them on DVD. I was pretty disappointed with the "Audio commentaries". There are only commentary tracks for the first two episodes. The first one was okay (if a little brief). I enjoyed hearing Tom Fontana and Lee Tergesen talking about the first episode as they watched it (some hilarious stuff). However, the commentary on episode two was pretty much background info on the series creation, writing, etc. While this was GREAT information, not once did they mention anything having to do with the episode we were watching. This commentary would have been nice as an additional track for episode one. I would have loved to have heard commentary from more of the actors included with ALL of the episodes. Unfortunately, it appears as though they've skimped on this with the season 2 DVDs as well. One star off. (I will be getting all of the Oz DVDs)

Summary: A great first season...
Review: I thought this season was great. I watched it in two days because it was so riveting. It was great to see the main characters go full circle, instead of remaining the same character (in the same state of mind) through the season.

Summary: OZ-riffic
Review: Revolutionary, groundbreaking, intense drama. HBO proves, once again, it has the guts to provide an amazing quality of television for adults. Oz is a maximum security unit with an amazing cast of characters, all acting and interacting with each other to provide many, many, tense moments. Everyone absolutely shines in their roles, both convicts and officers, and the story never lets down for a moment. Lee Turgesen is amazing as a newbie prisoner, thrown into the hell his life will become, and arcs from victim to victimizer. Each character has an equally remarkable span, until the amazing ending that both is realisitic, and horrifying. Rent the DVDs, buy them, if you want to watch television story telling at it's finest. If only the networks had the chutzpah to broadcast this!
