Not even bad in a good way

Boring, long, and too preachy.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Gripping, unflinching, no holds barred look at life on the inside. It's not for the faint of heart.
Brilliant and intriguing characters. Unfortunately it ended way too soon.Would love them to revive Oz.

Hardest-core crime show ever, an absolute 10/10, an amazing ensemble cast, and a really quality flawless production in every category. Not one for the squeamish, this show does not hold back on sex violence or depravity.

Hello!!??.... The snivelling, petty personal dramas of a bunch of hardened criminals!!?.... Like, am I supposed to care!!??In this (supposedly) "realistic" look at tough prison-life - I couldn't help noticing that it was just a crew of young, good-looking, and fit convicts.... (Oh, yeah?).... And, where the heck were all of the dumpy, ugly ones and the real old-timers? Eh?.... Yeah! Where on earth were they?All-in-all - I have to say that "Oz" was a "seen-it-all-before" bore.Yeah. OK - I only watched the 9 episodes from Season One. But I figured that that should have been the best season of all where the scenarios were fresh and entertainment-worthy.Anyway - I can't believe that this one-note TV show actually lasted for 6 seasons. I understand that for DVD release these episodes were edited due to frequent, male, frontal-nudity. Well - If you ask me - I highly doubt that seeing the penises of a bunch of convicts would have improved this predictable program one bit.

This Show is unbelievably addictive. It all started less than a month ago when I found the pilot for free on youtube. I was immensely into the show in the first episode and didn't want to stop. Two weeks later I bought and watched the complete first season. The next next week currently this week I have also bought and completely watched seasons 2 and 3. There is only one other time I binged as much as I have and that is with my favorite show of all time. And only twice have I been hooked this fast In a show and this is the third time.The acting, story, dialogue, and way of storytelling are just a few of the things that I love about this show. The fact that this show has only been nominated for 2 Emmys shocks me very much so and shocks me even more that it hasn't even won an Emmy either. Another thing I love about this show is that it doesn't shy away from things it is very much so daring as well.This show also does something that very few shows I can think of has done and that is make a complex show so easy to follow and understand. Sure the prison life and some other minor things are exaggerated but If they didn't stretch the truth the show wouldn't be as enjoyable. There are other things I could state as far as what I love about this show but I believe I have said enough. As for you the reader I highly recommend this show but also take warn this show is not for those of weak stomachs but if you don't your in for a treat.
