Oz: the one that kicked it all off!
Before The Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, The Wire or any of the great shows known as the Television Renaissance, there was Oz.
And now, 24 years after it first debuted as HBO’s first original drama, the entire series is available on HBO Max!
If you have never seen Oz, now is the time! Six full seasons, ready to binge. You’ll see so many of your favorite actors on this show, you won’t be able to keep count!
Created by Tom Fontana, Oz. is truly the OG of the television revolution. After our show last week that featured the work of Chris Meloni, we decided to revisit this great show and wound up watching 56 episodes in a week!
It’s brutal
It’s social commentary

For Travis, it’s Ryan O’Reily
And just for shits and giggles it’s Claire Howe!
And… Shirley Bellinger
And more
than you can shake a stick at!
