Exclusive extended cut of the series finale and moreOz, HBO’s violent men-behind-bars drama, is an addictive, testosterone-driven soap opera for guys. The first season set the style for the show: a massive cast of vivid characters on both sides of the bars, four or five stories unleashed at a breakneck pace and framed by angry, oddball introductions, and a soaring casualty rate. Created by Homicide producer Tom Fontana, this drama quickly earned a rightful reputation as the most brutal show on TV. It’s simple chemistry: combine volatile ingredients in a confined space, shut tight, and shake.
The yellow brick road of the Oswald Correctional Facility (affectionately known as “Oz” among the inmates) leads to “Emerald City,” an antiseptic cellblock of cement and glass overseen by prison-reform advocate Tim McManus (Terry Kinney). The first episode introduces its two most compelling inmates: meek lawyer Beecher (Lee Tergeson), who transforms from a vulnerable lamb to a fearless, drug-addicted wildcat, and Muslim activist Kareem Said (Eamonn Walker), a fiercely non-violent leader whose campaign for reform explodes in a season-climaxing riot. The stunning first-season cast also features Ernie Hudson (the warden), Rita Moreno (a worldly drug-counseling nun), and Edie Falco (who jumped from her role as a single-mother prison guard to mob wife in The Sopranos). It carries no rating, but the drug use, nudity, and brutal violence make this highly inappropriate for young viewers and unsuited to the squeamish. Oz pulls no punches in its portrayal of prison violence and! predatory abuse. Over the show’s six seasons, other cast members included Luiz Guzmán, J.K. Simmons, Christopher Meloni, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Harold Perrineau, and Patti LuPone –Sean Axmaker

I’ve been asked by amazon to write a review on my order, but the truth is I haven’t received the DVDs still. The delivery estimate is September 21, 2007 – October 5, 2007, and it is an international order so maybe it will arrive tomorrow? It’s October 5th at the moment

It’s a good show. It’s a shame it’s no longer on. I’m sure it would of only gotten better!
Sad to see this complete box set SUCKS! Glad I didn’t purchase it. I’d rather buy each one seperately!

One of the shows I have seen. Great to see actors from different shows show their abilities in different areas. Just great.

The order was handled in a very professional manner.
I’m very pleased with the product and the promptness
of your filling it.
“tlccleaning” would benefit from taking classes from
you in the art of treating customers like humans.
It’s a treat dealing with you.

Programe is fantastic. The DVD box set was made from copied dvds though and I could not access the special features on them. Dvd played fine otherwise.
