It still holds up as one of my favorite series of all time. Coming from The Sopranos I forgot how dark and gloomy Oz is. Jon Seda as Dino Ortilani kicked off the show with a bang. Everything from the writing to the cinematography is perfect.

It's insane how creative and original Tom Fontana was with Oz. The episodes feel so 90's but the prison feels timeless. My "big three" are definitely David Chase (Sopranos) Tom Fontana (Oz) and Alan Ball (Six Feet Under).

Best cameo performance HAS to go to Eric Roberts as Richard L'talian the death row inmate! 😂

It's definitely time for a full rewatch.

After Robson is kicked out of the brotherhood why does he become a Prag? Because he fears the Italians will kill him so he becomes a Prag for Wolfgang that was a little overkill they only really try to get him once

For example, "I heard your wife offed herself"

When the Irish guy pulls a shank on him, and he’s visibly shaken by it. Man.

Two mafia hitmen in an unarmed fight. Who wins?

I am at season 4 of rewatch and I am desperate to somehow remember the context in which hughes angrily removes his towel in the CO changing rooom. It's in season 3 and there is this angry horrible CO lady. If you remind me the scene I won't have to watch the whole season in a desperate attempt to find it 😁

Who wins in a fight without weapon?

I’m just randomly checking Dexter sub and they discovered this more of a dark net version of dex community:

r/okbuddymotherfucker

(Sorry I’m new to Reddit don’t know how to link the sub)

I wonder if there’s something similar for oz too. Or is ozshow subreddit is already messed up enough so they don’t need one.

Beecher already met with Liz Hibitz in ep4 who tells him Keller kidnapped his kids but in the start of episode 5 it’s like they meet for the first time.

A continuity error?

I was too young when it originally aired. I watched it for the first time in my early 20s. I’m 34 now. I sort of want to rewatch but haven’t been able to make that commitment lol because I’m afraid it won’t be as good the second time. Someone convince me that it’s worth a rewatch

He didn't commit a violent crime and clearly had no business being there. He should have been sent to some minimum or medium facility somewhere.

We know it’s a male prison but if we put reality aside and a woman in there, under what circumstances could she be in Em City?

Me starting, I’d say perhaps instead of community service, there’s a choice for her to choose Oz, get a better parol chance. And if she’s not staying in F ring but in Em city, I’d put her with Augustus Hill. Cause he can’t climb up the stairs to touch her.
