Oz

I know this isn't a movie but we have no T.V. forum. Anyone else here watch it? And if so what did you think of the final show?

The show died when Adebisi did. Everything else afterwards was a desparate attempt to better its self. I thought the three seasons were recycled material through and through. I have seen every episode since it has been out and up and until Adebisi died, I thought it was the best show out. (until Sopranos came along)

Oz is a soap opera for men, really. ;) After my fiance watches an episode I usually have to get him to clue me on who shanked and/or screwed who in a past episode so that I can understand why they loved/hated each other in the episode we just watched.

It's an interesting show to watch, and they do raise thought-provoking issues amongst all the shankings and prison rape. The last season has been a bit too hectic, though, even for Oz. I think they're trying to do their best to ensure that it's impossible to make another season.

I have watched OZ on and off since it first aired. It is a very intense and welldone series, however, it has gotten rather extreme as far as the raping and other man-man stuff.. I mean, really, shock value is good for ratings, but I don't need to see someone's bitch spitting a load on the floor every other scene.
