It's the routine of Oz that is so punishing here, like being confined for an hour with something unpleasant and oppressive. It's quality work, but watch it at your own risk.
May 29, 2018
One of the best ensembles in recent TV history, this is nigh-on faultless, and relentlessly entertaining.

Oz is certainly graphic, gritty and bleak. It is also unpleasant to watch. Where is the entertainment value in something this unremittingly dark and unpleasant?
May 29, 2018
Profoundly disturbing, it's a show that you don't want to miss, yet don't always want to watch.

This is a rough show to watch, but it's an essential one.

Some viewers may be repelled by the sheer concentration of ugliness... But you won't escape easily from this drama's grip.

As the series moves beyond its introductory shock value, it becomes more serious, disturbing and gripping.
May 29, 2018
Oz is rough, gritty, and knocks you for a loop. It's the type of drama that will never be possible on network television no matter how many curse words the censors eventually allow on the air.

Last year HBO introduced "Oz," a prison drama by Tom Fontana, executive producer of "Homicide: Life on the Street."... Pressed to choose, "Oz" is the superior offering. And that's saying something.

For all its technical dazzle and bracing content, Oz never overcomes a dramatic hurdle: It's nearly impossible to care about the characters.
