Does anyone here remember the american prison drama Oz (used to be on channel 4 late) it was the first big money drama by HBO before Sopranos, Sex and the shitty and six feet under. It had a great cast and many black and latino actors got their big breaks on it. It tackled alot of issues such as race, prison violence, police corruption etc.But where the sopranos and the rest are still shown on uk tv with dvd's in the shops we dont get anything, is this another case of the british public not taking drama's with a black or ethniccast seriously?

What do you guys think

Oz was a very good show. Scary as hell, a big deterent to getting locked up I swear. Channel 4 messed up though. They used to put it on at mad hours then screen the series in the wrong sequence so the viewer was going back and forth in time and such sillyness.

When Adebisi died that was a good build up and good moment.

I liked all the factions

when they ground the glass in to the mob bosses food for a few weeks and he died.

Interestingly, see the bald guy who was the Aryans main guy? He is the shrink in law and order... such a chnage that when I watch it Im still amused.

Oz was brilliant... the actors were amazing... but it did get irritating when they kept messing with the time...

shame it got cancelled...

But, it had some brilliant story lines...

I really liked Oz

But it was on so late I never got to watch it often. Had to catch it when I could.

Might have to check out the DVD.
