COMMUNITY REVIEWS

superb submitted by manz on July 1, 2016, 9:13am A well written show with great characters. Thanks HBO for such great dramas. And OZ is the one that started it all.

Somewhat forgotten submitted by jibkidder on July 3, 2022, 1:02pm Although I don't hear about the influence of this show much, I can't help but remember how new it felt when it came out. Sopranos is often mentioned as the starting point of "prestige TV", but this also felt like a real turning point in Television entertainment.
