Oz	comment	Oz is a six-season (1997-2003), one-hour drama created by Tom Fontana that follows the daily lives of the inmates and staff of the Oswald State Correctional Facility, nicknamed Oz. Inmates are divided between the main prison (Genpop) and "Em City", a unit with more perks for the prisoners at the price of more surveillance.The prison's out-of-control violence, general anomie, and domination by gangs creates an environment that forces prisoners to make difficult decisions just to survive, much less avoid sexual slavery, drug addiction, or solitary confinement. Characters range from former lawyer Tobias Beecher (Lee Tergesen), Aryan leader Vern Schillinger (J. K. Simmons), Iago-figure Ryan O'Reily (Dean Winters), senior citizen Bob Rebadow (George Morfogen), veteran criminal Simon Adebisi (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), famed black nationalist Kareem SaÃ¯d (Eamonn Walker), and many, many more. Wheelchair-bound prisoner-for-life Augustus Hill (Harold Perrineau) serves as narrator, intermixing the events of each episode with a more general theme.The struggles of gangs to control the lucrative prison trade in "tits" (drugs) creates much of the dramatic background, with cunning gang "leaders" attempting to leverage both their followers and the prison structure in a never-ending battle for dominance.The staff of the prison, while treated sympathetically, is shown to be divided and isolated from events in the prison. Idealists such as Em City head Tim McManus (Terry Kinney), Father Ray Mukada (B.D. Wong), and Psychologist/Nun Sister Peter-Marie (Rita Moreno) attempt to introduce academic rehabilitation methods, while the more battle hardened Corrections Officers tend to view the prisoners as scum who deserve punishment, leaving the well-meaning yet politically astute Warden Leo Glynn (Ernie Hudson) to decide between them. Successes in reaching inmates are balanced by outright failure, while crackdowns on inmates that get superficial results sometimes lead to much bigger problems just beneath the surface.The show was HBO's first original hour-long drama series, and was considered a forerunner of "Peak TV" series like The Sopranos and The Wire. The series was revolutionary in being uncensored, featuring only 8 episodes per season, and featuring numerous characters who would become central to the story immediately, fade away, be killed, or be transferred unexpectedly.When first released, the powerful first 15 minutes (featuring Beecher's entry into prison) forever branded Oz as "the show with prison rape." However, the show is more complex, attempting to tackle questions of the nature and origin of violence and criminality, but continually refusing to provide any easy answers. Every character on the show is morally ambiguous, with the "good" characters of the show sometimes committing despicable deeds while the "monsters" sometimes act humanely. The show also examined the issue of prisoner's rights and the effectiveness of the American prison system, which the show depicts as inherently corrupt.The series received a novelization in the form of Hill's journal, Oz: Behind These Walls, and a sequel short film titled Zo, in which Tergesen and Winters reprised their roles.Not to be confused with a certain other Oz. Or Dr. Oz. Or The Land Down Under.

Oz / int_1237828f	type	Anyone Can Die
Oz / int_1237828f	comment	Anyone Can Die: During any given season, there are at least twenty recurring characters that are playing a pivotal role in at least one arc. If you got a line somewhere in the first two seasons, chances are you got a name, multiple character arcs, and a tragic death scene by the end of the show. With at least one or two notable character deaths per episode, there was pretty huge cast turnover so collectively, there were well over 200 named characters and over half of them died throughout the series. By the end only 5 of the many prisoners that appeared in the pilot are alive and even Warden Glynn has died.

'Homosexuality' is addressed by name and is acknowledged to be something that some men are beyond Situational Sexuality and/or using rape as a tool of domination, but bisexuality never is. When someone close to him accusingly asks if Beecher is or isn't gay, he stumbles over how not everything is simple and that people can't always easily be boxed into certain labels. Keller is pretty open about liking both men and women, but he has a lot of issues with what liking men says about him.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Lara Croft is one of the main draws. Of all things, the inmates also lust after a children's show host (Miss Sally) because of her large breasts. Though in this case it's a bit more understandable, given that she's played by a live-action actress. There's even a subplot with a woman pretending to be Miss Sally (she did work on the show, but only answered fan mail) starting a relationship with one of the nicer inmates.

He also crucified a former priest in prison for molesting a child. Hill poisons Supreme Allah for getting him sent to prison and crippled (but also to protect Burr Redding). Wangler has his wife and her new boyfriend killed when the boyfriend abuses Wangler's son. Wangler himself (along with friend Junior Pierce) is killed by Guillaume Tarrant for stealing from and harassing him non-stop. Snake Coyle is murdered by Antonio Nappa for brutally killing three generations of a family he knew for no reason at all and bragging about it. Timmy Kirk is a manipulative inmate killed by Jaz Hoyt when Hoyt thinks Kirk is possessed by Satan. O'Reily kills Patrick Keenan for raping Dr. Nathan. Shirley thinks she is doing this when she self-aborts, saying that she was raped by Satan in the form of a man. Jefferson Keane burning Dino Ortolani alive after Ortolani viciously beat Keane's brother. In the same vein, Nino Schibetta has Johnny Post emasculated and tortured to death for burning Ortolani. Beecher's murder of the loathsome guard Metzger, who was an ally of the Aryans. The homophobic rapist Guenzel becoming the Aryans' newest prag. Also qualifies as Laser-Guided Karma. Cudney views the killing of the son of the doctor who performed his wife's abortion as this.

Keep in mind that this is just what happens to the inmates while already inside prison; several of their individual crime flashbacks themselves also qualify.

Perhaps the most stark example is the prisoner "Poet", who manages to get a book contract on the basis of his poetry and is granted early parole (a rarity in the series; many of the convicts are hardened criminals and murderers with life sentences). He immediately uses his new income to buy drugs and is sent back to Oz after he shoots his drug dealer at a book signing event.

Acevedo returned for the second half of the fourth season. But shortly after production began on the second half, he landed a recurring role on Third Watch and had to leave again.

When someone close to him accusingly asks if Beecher is or isn't gay, he stumbles over how not everything is simple and that people can't always easily be boxed into certain labels. Keller is pretty open about liking both men and women, but he has a lot of issues with what liking men says about him.

Oz / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name The evil Nazi guard is called Karl Metzger; "metzger" means butcher in German. In fact, almost all the American white supremacists on the show (James Robson being the exception) have at least one German or German-sounding name. Ray/Rei is Japanese for spirit, a fitting name for a priest, though in a sardonic twist it can also mean zero, i.e. nothingness. Sister Peter Marie Reimondo = Rey mundo (King and world in Spanish). Peter means rock, and Marie is a variation on Mary, the mother of Christ. Schillinger wants to make Adam Guenzel his prag. In old-timey prison slang, the word "gunsel" was the equivalent of "bitch", "punk", etc. It's essentially the Yiddish word for being Camp Gay. The governor's name, Devlin, seems to be a thinly veiled play on the word Devil.

Oz / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Governor Devlin: Despite OZ experiencing a riot, the above-average murder rate, two inmates escaping, two different incidents involving an inmate having a gun, and a freaking bomb scare not to mention a gas explosion that followed, Devlin seems completely content with sending numerous high profile criminals such as Kareem Said, Jackson Vahue, and even his close friend Mayor Wilson Loewen to OZ (though in this case, you could argue he set Loewen up deliberately). Another case would be allowing a TV crew to film a documentary on prison life in OZ when there are other prisons without a history of clusterfucks. It ends with the Host getting the crap beat out of him. And finally, amidst tension and in the wake of several murders, two separate times Devlin has ordered Glynn to end an essential lockdown so he can save face and portray a sense of control to the public. Though that last one is probably more of him not caring than being stupid. The only way to justify much of it is to claim that he deliberately wants people to think of prison as brutal, to exemplify his "tough on crime" stance. Both McManus and Glynn have a habit of putting their faith in prisoners when they're obviously up to something, while any genuine plea for protection, help, or justice is usually met with a "Now, why would I trust you? The answer is NO." The correction officers. If they were good at their jobs and stopped a good portion of the shenanigans going on in Emerald City, there wouldn't be much of a show. Some of them are shown to be outright corrupt, however. Robert Sippel: After serving time for molesting a fourteen-year-old boy, Sippel cannot find a place to stay, let alone a job. He convinces Sister Pete to let him sleep in his old cell, and not in protective custody. He only lasts hours before CO Metzger brings him into the gym so the Aryans can crucify him. McManus deserves special mention with Lemuel Idzik. When Idzik killed Kareem Said, McManus knew that Omar White (having kicked his addiction to heroin thanks to Said) intended to seek vengeance. In true McManus fashion, his ideals overshadowed common sense when he made the two cellmates. Omar didn't kill Idzik however, Idzik killed Omar. Adebisi gives Said a tape of all of his misdeeds as an act of good faith, despite apparently knowing that Said wants to bring him down. Adebisi is genuinely surprised and enraged when the inevitable occurs. The "Men Of Death Row" photoshoot. Sure, let's put a bunch of psychopathic dudes who are responsible for multiple murders in a room full of equipment. What could possibly go wrong?

The death of Augustus Hill. Burr Redding is overcome with grief, and most of the prisoners are shocked. McManus actually breaks down crying. Mainly this is because more so than anyone else in Em city, Hill had become the most philosophical and accepting of the bad things that he had done. The killing of Kenny "Bricks" Wangler, Junior Pierce, Lou Rath, and CO Joseph Howard by timid French inmate Guillaume Tarrant. Mostly because everyone else is terrified because Tarrant went on a shooting spree inside the prison.

Jason Cramer, a gay inmate who decapitated his lover, ends up getting his conviction overturned because a police officer involved in the case confessed to fabricating evidence and the one witness to his crime died several years prior. Claire Howell abuses her authority as a prison guard to molest male inmates, and murders Nikolai Stanislofsky in order to please O'Reily. In the end, she never faces any punishment, with the closest she gets being having to give up her violent ways in order to raise her daughter by one of the inmates. Len Lopresti, one of the nastiest and least redeemable of the prison guards being a racist and not even competent to handle death row (with two inmates dying on his watch and him in a semi-consensual relationship with another), is hardly punished for his behavior. The most he gets is being mauled by another inmate's dog, but even that didn't harm him permanently in the long run.

He's a noble, well-meaning man who does his best to help his fellow prisoners regardless of race or sexuality and is one of the only prisoners to use diplomacy as a first resort, but he is still very willing to use violence when it comes to it. And he's not squeaky clean either, having incited a Prison Riot at the end of the first season knowing there would be casualties in order to kick-start reforms to the prison system. Beecher, who can dip into being an Anti-Villain at his darkest moments. He's a generally kind and compassionate man, but he's prone to downright horrific acts of revenge whenever he's crossed.

Oz / int_f914cae5	type	Post-Rape Taunt
Oz / int_f914cae5	comment	Post-Rape Taunt: Invoked when Dr. Gloria Nathan is raped on her way home from work by an Irish criminal, and she suspects that inmate Ryan O'Reily, who was obsessed with her and had already arranged her husband's death, was behind it. When she confronts him, he gloats about the rape until she physically attacks him, but he later admits to Father Mukada that he was lying so she could truly hate him and move on with her life. He later kills the rapist personally. Schillinger gives one to Peter Schibetta in a hallway that causes Schibetta to have a minor breakdown.

Oz / int_f9c3ecc6	type	Series Fauxnale
Oz / int_f9c3ecc6	comment	Series Fauxnale: By the time of the fourth season finale, they didn't know whether they would be renewed and so Tom Fontana wrote two endings: one where Beecher got paroled and one where he didn't. If the show was canceled they would end on the happy note of Beecher being paroled. The show was renewed but Fontana liked the sequence of Beecher's parole so much that he used it as a dream sequence in the final season.

Oz / int_fa8247ab	type	Death Row
Oz / int_fa8247ab	comment	Death Row: Killing another prisoner or a CO generally puts an inmate on death row, which is located in a small wing of Oz, and the characters there are generally used as a "B-plot" in Seasons 2 and later, with different inmates appearing until their execution.

Oz / int_fab3b838	type	Everything Is Racist
Oz / int_fab3b838	comment	Everything Is Racist: A dark, realistic example. The inmates organize themselves around racial lines, toss slurs around at each other, and compete for racial control of the prison, along with the occasional race-motivated murder or rape. The Aryans are the most explicitly hateful and violent, and even the prison staff seem to carry some racial tension.

Oz / int_fccd06b6	comment	Beware the Nice Ones: Hill is mostly amiable and one of the few inmates who genuinely wants to atone for his crime, but when Supreme Allah threatens to murder his Parental Substitute Burr Redding, Hill retaliates by poisoning him. Beecher. He's kind and helps out other prisoners with little benefit to himself, but he retaliates to being slighted in brutal manner. Special mention goes to his revenge campaign against Schillinger in Season 3, where Beecher manipulates him into murdering his own son.
