Oz, HBO's first hour-long drama, tends to not get a lot of attention, mostly because of the wild success of "the Sopranos" and "Six Feet Under". But it is an excellent series. Prison really is the perfect place to set a drama series, because there's just so much drama inherent in the situation: violence, sexual abuse, mental illness, guilt, shame, redemption ... the list goes on and on. The writers and actors of "Oz" make excellent use of all the opportunities to explore the darker sides of human life. Aside from being an engrossing drama, "Oz" also serves as an excellent public service announcement, in a way ... because after watching a few episodes, a person would probably think twice about doing anything that could possibly put them in such a horrific situation.

First, I would like to say that I have not watched Oz but based on most of the reviews I've read about it, it seems a really good series to watch.
However, to spend USD 55+ on an 8 episode series is just not worth it as I would rather spend my money on some other good series like 24 or Smallville.

Once you've seen the first season, you've seen them all. They just change the people who are involved in basicly the same story line time and again. Very Graphic and Violent.

I never missed an episode when they aired. Nice to have them on DVD.
I was pretty disappointed with the "Audio commentaries".
There are only commentary tracks for the first two episodes. The first one was okay (if a little brief). I enjoyed hearing Tom Fontana and Lee Tergesen talking about the first episode as they watched it (some hilarious stuff). However, the commentary on episode two was pretty much background info on the series creation, writing, etc. While this was GREAT information, not once did they mention anything having to do with the episode we were watching. This commentary would have been nice as an additional track for episode one. I would have loved to have heard commentary from more of the actors included with ALL of the episodes.
Unfortunately, it appears as though they've skimped on this with the season 2 DVDs as well. One star off. (I will be getting all of the Oz DVDs)

I thought this season was great. I watched it in two days because it was so riveting. It was great to see the main characters go full circle, instead of remaining the same character (in the same state of mind) through the season.
