Brief synopsis of Oz - Series 2

The Oswald Maximum Security Correctional Facility has opened an experimental new ward, Emerald City, reserved for especially dangerous criminals. Inside the walls of this rehabilitation unit, is a world that's even more corrupt and dangerous than the mean streets the inmates left behind. Survival is dependent on two sets of rules; those laid down by the warden and those understood by the racially divided prisoners. Gritty and violent, OZ deftly handles sensitive issues concerning the American justice system. This release contains every compelling episode from the show's second series.

Rated - 5 starsKansas is far away

1010111 from Loughborough , 19/08/2007

Oz is the most gritty, sinister and downright subversive prison drama I have ever seen.

That is where its brilliance lies.

It doesn't show prison as a hideaway camp where pesky types go and attempt to get over the wall, it shows people (mostly horrible) being in a place where most of them deserve.

One note: This is not a series for the faint hearted or easily offended. This is hard as nails, gritty drama. (is it realistic? I don't know - never been inside)

If ever there was a show that might keep your kids on the straight and narrow, this is it. Just make sure they become thugs after they are old enough to see it.

In conclusion, makes Prison Break (a fine show) look like Porrige.

Rated - 5 starsIt's got everything

James Ash from London , 02/10/2007

Seriously, this show has it all. Prison is the perfect setting for a drama with so much scope for twisted, interweaving plotlines and diverse and contradictory characers. It constantly keeps you guessing. It's got a style unique to TV. It repeatedly manages to shock. It's superb. This second series follows on directly from the first so you do really need to start at the beginning. If you liked the Sopranos and need something else, this is it.

Rated - 4 starsAnother HBO triumph

weejock from London [Highly rated reviewer] , 21/12/2007

The HBO channel has by far produced some of the best TV in years, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Sopranos, Six Feet Under and the brilliant Deadwood. Oz is up there in the same calibre as all these dramas. There is no dumbing down of language or sexual content or violence, especially as Oz is a prison drama, the content is in your face and hard to escape!

Excellent and hard to beat!
