    • Trivia
      Some cast members that played prisoners have noted that, throughout the series, if you showed up late to the set, your punishment would be that your character would either die or be raped the next week.

      When Doctor Gloria Nathan (Lauren Velez) talks to Ryan O'Reilly (Dean Winters) about his cancerous tumour in his chest, she says that the lump is "under the left nipple". However, he was clearly bleeding from the right nipple and ever clutching the right one while in the infirmary...

    Brilliant series
    Oz is one of HBO's best ever series. It is gritty and violent, yet ceaselessly compelling and riveting.

    The production values are consistently of very high quality, with skillful photography and an authentic setting. The writing is superb, in fact Oz is one of my favourite ever shows when it comes to written quality and the story lines are outstanding.

    Oz benefits further from efficient direction, strongly drawn characters and the acting particularly Ernie Hudson and Harold Perrineau I don't know where to begin praising.

    All in all, a brilliant series. 10/10 Bethany Cox

    FAQ17

    • Its been 23 years since Oz aired... Why no Bluray as of yet?
    • Is that a real tattoo getting inked in the credits?
    • Why is season 4 longer than the others?
