Current Events » Almost finished with my Marathon of Oz.
Watching the final 5 episodes as I type, and thought i'd start this early.

It was a good show, and would call it great if it wasn't a season or two too long - They stretched that Tobi V Shillinger feud for all it was worth. lol Surprised Tobias didn't run back in oz to kill Shillinger's father figure when he got parole in the final season.

Shillinger is one evil, vicious bastard, but that racist felt human despite all the cruelty he pulls. Very well written in that sense.

It's such a joy to see earlier roles from actors before they got their defining one. Like, Christopher Meloni's character. He played a prisoner before he was detective stabler, and found that amusing.

Fucking hated that Omar dude. Such a useless addict who got more chances than he should have.

I hated Simon most of all!

I enjoyed it. Can't say i'd ever watch again, but good ride.

Edit: Can't decide if tobi, or Kareem was my favorite character.

Something you saw did it, or general boredom?

Finally! Someone shut Omar the fuck up! If he wasn't so annoying, they might have listened to him about that dude.

One day I may get into it especially since it's from that era (or even the start of it) where HBO had that run of insanely good to GOAT level shows, but the subject matter is seems almost a little too depressing for my tastes.

I always wondered how Adebisi managed to keep that cap on, given how he wore it on the side of his head.

General boredom. I just felt I'd seen enough

Fair.

They did a chemical outbreak to end the series on? Weak. Hated how they started to speed run killing people too. Show really was just good to me in the end as it lost its way.

Considering watching Sapronos next, but need some trashy anime after...all that.

If I recall, I think they anticipated another season, and was informed kinda last minute that the series wasn't getting a 7th season So it was ending with a few too many loose ends to tie up and not enough time to do it.

There was 4 episodes written for a 7th season, but not by the original writer (Tom Fontana) that revolved around Method Man's character, but were never aired, or even filmed for that matter.
You gotta laugh. That is the one thing at the end of your life you will not wish you did less of.
I loved Oz back in the day. There was some real fucked up shit going on in that prison.

Season 4 was where it peaked and you could tell seasons 5 and 6 they were stretching it a bit too thin.

Man, poor Tobias. Shillinger really fucked that guy up. Probably one of the most intense TV rivalries.

Also, GIMME DA TITS!!!!!!!
Stand out, fit in
The last season got too ridiculous. It almost made me retroactively hate the early seasons. They had a goddamn fire ghost or some dumb shit in the middle of the last season. It was like that Key & Peele skit for the Gremlins 2 pitch, but with prisoners
I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.
In regards to loose ends, it doesn't sit right with me that Ryan and Gloria never got it on. Howell fucked half of em city at that point,. I don't think those two had so much as kissed. lol
