Brief synopsis of Oz - Series 5

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 fifth series.

Series five and OZ is back with a bang!

All the old favourites are back along with the usual few addition, and if anything then this is the most brutal series yet...brace yourself for the end of episode 3.

If you like Oz you'll love this, and if you've never seen it before then go and get series 1 out now at get going!

Series five had a different feel to it. The tempo has changed and some characters do not fit. However there are redeeming qualities in some of the newer characters. Burr Redding is the veteran introduced to the Oz yard along with Omar White. These characters have enough depth to carry their weight in Oz.
