No spoilers.

This prison seems like hell. People regularly getting beaten, raped, and killed, and anything else horrible you can imagine. McManus seems to genuinely care for the prisoners and wants to rehabilitate them but it seems like they're pretty much free to do whatever awful things they want to each other.

This is supposed to be an experimental prison wing focused on rehabilitation but it seems to just make everyone worse, how hasn't this shit been shut down a thousand times over? It's tough to suspend disbelief when a dude gets murdered every other episode.

A recurring theme of the show is McManus trying to truly rehabilitate just ONE prisoner to show that his vision works.

Never seen the show but heard good things. I did read I think every synopsis of the seasons but without really knowing characters it was just in one eye out the other.

That show was pretty wild. It's been a long time that I've seen it but it seems like people were getting hanged (as a form of capital punishment, I mean) and sent to the electric chair and shit.

I also remember they hopped on the musical episode bandwagon that was so popular in the late 90's. lol

I started watching the show because I wanted to see Chris Meloni before SVU, but I got bored just as he came in.

I don't want to ever do a rewatch of it simply because I loved it during it's initial run and I'm afraid it won't hold up.

SNW really made me do a double take, like "they still do musical episodes?"

Yeah once you kind of get over how absurd the prison is, it's really entertaining. I finished up the first season and I've been enjoying it. And holy cow the shear number of "before they were famous" actors like someone said earlier.

Probably the most ridiculous part of the show is the pill aging plot. Thankfully, they ended up abandoning that storyline.
