OZ Seasons 1-6 DVD
Wow. From the first episode you feel as if you are hooked in, although I dont want to dive too much into the
show itself (just skim it) you find that this
show, apart from its hard hitting grit and honesty (maybe it is? I dont know, ive never been to prison) dealing with drugs, ethnic grouping, racist attacks, homosexuality, violence and spiritual guidance, this
show has something for everyone to walk away with and contemplate as it does dictate a lot of what our soceity is like, even if we have to look at a test subject that is criminal and locked up.
Few warnings though:
Not for the faint hearted: If you are conservative in nature, I would not suggest watching this
show, as some of what happens is REALLY harsh (especially as seasons go on)
Not for children: I personally dont believe that people who are under the age of 17 should be watching this
show, as it contains graphic sexual scenes and nudity.
Dont watch this if you are a devote prison break fan: This
show just makes it look like a joke! Although only the first
season of the
show was in prison, the realism (if they even tried for that) just doesnt compare to how hard up prisoners really have it, which i feel
OZ may convey much better. Tea bag? More like hand bag! Compared to characters like Shillinger and Ada Beisi he is TAME.
On the continual arguments with pricing and dvd quality:
Despite claims in these previous reviews, I have yet to find a problem with this
six season set.
Although, I have to admit, the menu's are seemingly primative and quite long in loading up (panning through computer graphics etc which gets annoying) but the quality is still great.
I also dont see how this boxset is seen as expensive. At the time fo this review (28/7/07) the entire
show in this offer costs $208, If you look to buy all
seasons seperatly, it will cost you an extra $8 dollars, which you could just spend on getting a better delivery service.
When I bought this
show (about 4 months ago) I payed about $170. So at this point in time I do find it a bit pricey and would suggest watching it since prices go up and down. I personally feel though even at 208 USD, its still
worth it.
