Peter Schibetta had the worst fucking luck on that show and that’s saying something.

It was good for it's time- the introduce a character and kill them in the same episode got old after awhile. Also, Poet was gay as fuck.

I can never take JK Simmons seriously after Oz, I see him in other roles and think about the time he burned a swastika into Beecher's asscheek or the countless prags he's turned out. Made sense in that silly jazz teacher movie.

I just rewatched that show and he’s probably the best actor in it.

Oz got progressively sillier as it rolled along, but even at its worst, it was always good for some laughs. Like remember when Schillinger nailed that pedophile priest to the gym floor? Or when that fat bitchy guard was raping Ryan O'Reilly? Or when Alvarez cut out the guard's eyes with a scalpel? Or Adebesi screaming "gimme some tits man"? God, that was a fun show.

This was the first show I saw most of these actors. I still refer to them in my head as their character whenever they pop up on something else.
Anybody remember that Bryan Callen was on a few episodes? He was an inmate who was also the teacher in their high school diploma program that McManus was supporting. Kenny beat up Callen for asking him to read in front of the class.

Liked it the first time and basically had a speed run through all the DVDs. Tried to watch it again and got to about S1Ep3 and had to turn it off. YT clips are where it’s at for the particularly silly enjoyable parts.

One of the funniest shows of all time. Closest show today is probably Barry (also on HBO). Most people do not understand that Oz was a satire show of 90s dramas and soap operas. Hence the ridiculous storylines and fake deaths and over the top moments. It was meant to be silly. If you had a wife or girlfriend that watched soap operas you would get a lot more of the jokes.
Sopranos had a similar blend of comedy and drama but was usually less absurd. People hated Oz for like the aging pills or musical stuff. But Sopranos had Paulie visit a real psychic. And Bobby's dead wife's spirit is haunting his house by moving silverware. As well as Paulie seeing the Virgin Mary in the Bing. Plus ridiculous moments like Tony pulling the gun from the fish. Or Chrissy and Paulie in the woods or shooting the waiter over an $11 tip.
If you watch any show made in the 20 years after Oz you will recognize tons of actors. Half of the cast of The Wire came from Oz which is not an exaggeration.

The soap opera shit worked. Half the audience was women, despite the subject matter.

LOL I do remember that, he was one of the faggy Christian inmates, I believe. Kenny preferred to be called Bricks, though.
Yes, it's not subtle, like where you'll pick up things you missed before. It's all right there, and that's all there is. Sometimes a guy ripping out his new nigger gums is just a guy ripping out his new nigger gums, there's no subtext to be had there.

You’re right. He was one of the fag Christians. He also proposed starting Em City meetings with a prayer. I totally forgot about being called Bricks. I love Kenny on every show he’s on.

The Aryan guy getting kicked out of the nazis because the dentist gave him nigger gums, and said Aryan then trying to remove them, was hilarious. As was the guy that gets a batch of pot brownies in the prison and eats too much and trips out. Then there was the one where Oz becomes an immigration detention center and they get a load of gooks in that they don't know what to do with. I love it but it is a very dumb show.

Or when Adebesi raped Peter Schibetta, then Schibetta went back to Oz, and in like one day he was raped again, this time by Schillinger. Classic stuff.
