Featured review
Oz is one of the best and most underrated shows of all-time!. It's one of the rare shows where just about every episode is great! HBO is known for having all these great shows over the years and Oz is right at the top of those great shows. It's about the inmates and guards at certain wing in a prison. It's easily the best pest prison series of all-time. You really get attached to the character and care what happens next. That's because the writing and acting is so great. I've watched it all the way through a few times now and probably will again in the best future. I wish they would try to bring this series and back or reboot it but with the same creator and writers.
