The NZA Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Before I caught Sopranos, I caught this one. I musta been about halfway through Season 2, but man, this show was violent - you start off with Beacher (i think his name was) becoming this skinhead's prag, which later ends up shitting in his face but then the skinhead has him fall in love with this guy and breaks every bone in his body or something but fuck am i spoiling the odd shit i recall. The irish guy from Rescue Me was here, and he coudlnt be trusted over there either. You had all these groups, and the solo guys like the old one, Poet the wheeler, fucking-crazy-ass-Attabezi (sp?), even Carmela Soprano got her start with HBO here. The riot at the end of season 1 was something, too - no idea how long this show ended up going for, i hear it dragged its nuts by the end but what i saw was pretty cool.
the division of joy Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 hahah, dude, you read my mind on this one, i was contemplating putting in a thread about this, but i never heard anyone plug for it or anything or never heard anyone make reference to it, but Man, does this show rock.... granted, over here No one knows about it that much because it was given the shittiest air time on the shittiest tv station over here 1 am on gaelic speaking channel which are currently branching out but ive watched this Every time it is on and this show is amazingly wrote and produced.... i love how there are so many substories and subconflicts and the guy in the wheelchair narrating every so often just add's to the depth and dark of the show i think.... possibly the best prison drama i have seen.... do you know anything about a new series of this, because its been a good while since ive seen anything from it.
The NZA Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 nah, nothing, how far did it go, season 4 or 5 or so? did it get stale by its end? i kinda wonder how shit turned out, i think i was in season 2 or 3 or so when i lost HBO.
the division of joy Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 i was knee deep in mid season three when it just decided not to get shown anymore over here, i was pissed about that, they had a great storyline going on and it just went... they do that all too much over here, just cut out mid series, but i am yet to hear anyone over this side of the ocean talk about it so i guess there was a reason for them pulling it... wherebouts exactly was it when your hbo went?
The NZA Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 im tryin to remember the last things that happend - Atabezi was going crazy, i hear he died shortly after i stopped. The black muslim preacher guy was stepping shit up, few other things were going on...
the division of joy Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 yeah, the last i saw atabezi had died.. the black muslim preacher guy was one of my favorites... he was a real nut job...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 i think i was in season 2 or 3 or so when i lost HBO. Oz went for 6 seasons. Great show.
Jables Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Aren't there 7? Anyways, flat-out my favourite show on TV. Coulda sworn there's a thread around about this already, or maybe that was lost in your 'cleansing' Nick. Nope, 2T's right. Only 6. I'm up to season 5 here in -Oz- HA!! But seriously, yeah, Kareem Said(the Muslim leader) is starting to show cracks after murdering Adebisi(god rest his horrible horrible soul) and other than that I can't remember 'cause it hasn't been on here in ages.
Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 It's all about Ryan O'Reilly. The master-manipulator.
MetalHeart Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 I've heard a lot of stuff on Oz, but I never got around to watching it... :(
Jables Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Fuckin'-oath. God. Him & Adebisi I swear... Until Adebisi bought it tho. You see when he went thru his voodoo phase? Scary cool shit.
Reverend Jax Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 Anyone remember the sketch where where Jerry Seinfled is in Oz?
The NZA Posted June 11, 2006 Author Posted June 11, 2006 I have that one, that was fucking awesome the way everyone played along with it. Only thing that sucked was i stopped watching by then and it spoiled that Ernie Hudson got stabbed by crazy-fucking Atabesi. ps Skeet, or whoever - how did he finally die anyway?
the division of joy Posted June 11, 2006 Posted June 11, 2006 hey nick, something you Might just like.... Oz - series 1 through 6
Jables Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Nick- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Adebisi? Said did'im in. I forget the precise circumstances, but there was a new warden took a soft policy on drugs, long as violence stopped. Last a little while, Adebisi being the main trafficker at this point ended up ruling Oz, had curtains in his cell, got fucked up all day, taped himself & his crew fuckin' some guy or killing him or something... Anyways, O'Rielly, the whites, Muslims & some others that were put out by the new order conspired to fix things. Said went to talk to Adebisi, Adebisi came at him...
The NZA Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 damn...kinda how it looked like it was going though. What happened to Poet, though? i forget....and beecher - » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « last thing i recall was him gettin like every bone in his body broken, he ever come back from that? fucked up how the skinhead guys got his pretty wife too, if i recall correct... DOJ - tahnks for the link man, i gotta make some hard drive space so itll be a while but its cool of you.
Jables Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Yeah I gotta upgrade my memory(but the actual boxed set's on my birf wish list), thanx DoJ. Nick- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Beecher's wife killed herself, the kids went to his parents. Scillinger(the nazi) took out his son & almost took out his daughter when I'm pretty sure he decided enough was enough. Beecher took out one've Beecher's boys(dunno if you saw that) and Keller, the plant Schill sent to get close to Beecher then broke his shit inna gym, Keller ended up falling in love with Beecher, and they had a very Rogue/Gambit on-off romance until Keller did something, I forget what, and was transferred to a phychiatric facility. Poet was parolled, landed back in within a week ot two on drug or assault offences. Last I saw he was getting heavy with the Homeboys, after Kenny Wrangler bought it he became 2IC, but the cliffhanger I last saw had the Homeboys & the Muslims both coming under the leadership iof the Supreme Allah(leader of the Homeboys & fixing to take out Said). You ever follow Alvarez Nick?
Ganny McVagflaps Posted June 14, 2006 Posted June 14, 2006 He's was nice enough to » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « take out a screw's eyes. Ryan and Cyril are the best.
Jables Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I never saw 2T's post until now... All bugfucked & crazt from last night's double ep(so many events I needed to cool down with an hour of Gears of War after). Just looked at the site & there's only 3 eps left in the fucking series, so wedding & xmas be damned, if I don't get the entire series boxed sometime soon heads'll roll. Do any've you new kids follow this? Where'm at- Here's the lowdown on the major players Kareem Said » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Shot in ep 51 by some fucking lunatic jew who's now kicking it in PC with that geriatric crooked cop. He'd just put together a book-binding company within Oz too, to be run by the Muslims & their first agenda? Publish Augustus Hill's memoirs Augustus Hill » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Stabbed... I forget how, I think he took a shiv for Redding or something. That was the 5th season cligghanger but he came back to narrate for season 6 along with noted other dead inmates including Schillinger's two sons, Tony Schibetta(sp), that cello player killed in the riots in season 1, and god I hope they do a Adebisi ep, so fucking bad Beecher » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Fuuuuuck. Blew his first two parole hearings, made it out on his third & was employed by his father's legal firm to work pro-bono on cases in Oz. First case-Keller on Death Row. He manages to get his death sentence commuted to life based on dodgy testimony and how does Keller repay him? Sets him up to be taken down by the DEA for trafficking illegal pharmacuetacals(sp). So Where we're at right now is Beecher's back in Oz. The O'Rielly Boys » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Cyrill's on death row & due to be excecuted in a week for killing some asian kid threatened Ryan's mum(who now volunteers at Oz), his pre-brain-damaged self has become more resonate too since he started recieving shock therapy. Ryan's still doin' what he do, getting people killed left right & centre & right now he has his eye on Idzick(or something) a Black Panther from the 70's & mighty friendly with Ryan's ma. More to come. Work becons.
FireDownBelow Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I was in high school still when this show first aired. And got rid of HBO soon after. I didn't get to see but a couple of handful of episodes, but I was entranced. Got it on my Netflix list though. One Wed afer the holidays. Sure beats the hell out of a Planet of the Apes marathon.
