HBO's OZ is a heavy show

[Garet Jax]

I got HBO on a comcast special for a year and have been watching reruns of OZ (never saw it when it was originally aired). It is a heavy show and it is thought provoking.

A scene with Tobias Beetcher (sp?) kept me up a couple nights ago....

Violent prison rape tends to do that....

One of my favorite shows when it was on, I still rewatch the series every now and then. Wonderful writing but it's HBO so..

Yes it does, but that wasn't the scene.

It was the scene where his boyfriend Chris convinced him to take illegel drugs to a dying ex-wife and then called the cops. He basically ruined his life. Very hard to get out of my mind.

On demand is great for just watching one at a time.

I haven't had much experience with HBO. What comes after the "so...." 🙂

HBO's writing is consistantly good, there have been very few shows they've put out that I didn't like. Sopranos, Rome, Deadwood, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mr. Show, the list goes on and on. 🙂

Do you know why they took it off the air?

It went six seasons which is pretty good for any show. Ultimately it was ratings and cost if I remember correctly.
