Page 1 of "Oz" Fans - New Series

A new series has begun on C4, two episodes so far. The times change nightly, usually something like 1.45am.

And now... it`s finished! f***ing idiots at C4. Oz hasn`t been on terrestrial telly for years (I`m going back to the days of the original 4Later here!) and I remember the forum mods like Ziad saying "It`ll be back next month" etc. Now they show a bunch of episodes at stupid o`clock, and just as I get hooked again, it`s all over!

Afraid so. :(
They showed three episodes one night, and an episode each night for a week. This was series 5. There are six series, then they quit.

I know Oz is graphic, but I bet they`d get a fair few viewers for it. Shame there`s no R2 dvd release. When I`ve been in m ynew job for a bit I might just treat myself to the boxsets!

Oz is so grim, but so brilliant.
some how i watched the first episode by accident and have been hooked ever since.
there are not many likable characters, but somehow you like them, and its more interesting that any one hour drama thats been on ITV since minder was great.
Channel 4 should put it on at a decent time = atleast on e4 or, HBO should launch over here..

they did show series 6 + 7 back to back on e4 ages ago but again it was in the middle of the night - but i guess that means the ending has been shown on satellite. i guess the worst thing about it all is that no-one advertises when it is on. if you are desperate to see how it ends, they might still have the Oz website on www.hbo.com

It`s definitely grim, and it really unnerves me when I end up sympathising with someone who`s a serial murderer or whatever, because of treatment at the hands of other prisoners and COs in Oswald! That`s the point though I guess, they`re all human. Properly gripping stuff, I`m a big ER fan but sometimes it`s just plain dull, whereas Oz never fails to keep me absolutely riveted. Also ,it takes a lot to shock me but often I`ll just be sat with my hand oer my mouth going "I can`t believe he just DID that!"

Yep, deffo going to have to save up for the boxsets!

mavrik - i watch it in just the same way. and whenever i see Shillinger in a film (spider-man) he makes me feel uncomfortable.

has anyone seen animal factory? good film with willem defoe and not v.disimilar to Oz.. not as good though!

I imported the first 3 seasons on dvd from America, got them on Ebay

I have the other seasons on disc too but only cause I wanted to watch the rest of them, they are tv-rips...Hope they officially release the rest of the seasons...Anyone know if they will?
