5 out of 5 stars OZ BUT NOT THE WIZARD OF.....    November 28, 2008
Sherrie H (Maryland)
'Oz' is by far the greatest thing on cable and is definitely not for the sqeamish nor any prudes out there. The acting is better than great and the storys of each prisoner and their captures; the storys of inmate to inmate are better than fantastic. There is nudity, sex, sexy talk, angry inmates,cursing, craziness and basically this show has it all--and anyone who likes drama this is it with a capital D. I can't wait until I can afford all seasons for I think I'll watch the show a few more times! This is one prison-show that stands tall and above anything else shown on tv or in the movies!

The first season of Oz introduced our (huge) cast of main characters. The second season was dedicated mostly to intergroup struggles: the battles of drug dealers, crime lords and gang bangers. With the spectacular third season, Oz presented a mix of the best of seasons one and two by giving us character development within a story about a larger, rising struggle.

On the personal end, each of our main characters has problems. Beecher, betrayed badly by his boyfriend Keller at the end of season two, is out for revenge against Keller and his friends. Keller, remorseful and desirous of Beecher, is willing to do anything to get Beecher back--including seduce a nun and kill. Sister Peter Marie comes to realize that she is a woman before being a nun, while Schillinger must choose between his family and his beliefs. Augustus Hill finds out a shocking secret, Miguel Alvarez struggles with depression, the warden faces his past...and that's just some of the main characters.

While Season Two had a bit of a problem juggling all of the events and people introduced, everything has been hammered out in Season Three. It's particularly impressive that each of these personal storylines wove together and finally became part of a much larger story: one of budding racial tension in the prison. Who stays impartial, who wants equal rights, and who turns to racism? The answers might surprise you.

The only warning I can give about Season Three (and Oz in general) is that crack is less addicting than this show. I began Season One thinking I'd just watch an episode or two...and was up until 6 in the morning, desperate to know what was next. Be careful...and enjoy.
