Why Oz might be annoying:

    Three words: Gay prison rape.
    Many characters of the show dropped the soap.
    Some storylines were completely unrealistic.
    There was a lot of nudity and drug use.

Why Oz might not be annoying:

    It helped solidify HBO's original series programs.
    They've produced season 1 and 2 DVD's and a book titled 'Oz: Behind the Scenes: The Journal of Augustus Hill.'
    Tom Fontana allowed actors like Kathy Bates, Steve Buscemi, Matt Dillon and Chazz Palminteri to direct episodes of the show.
    Tom also set out to hire actors who were virtually unknown.
    It's been described as being 'brutal, difficult, uncompromising, unpleasant, unsettling and utterly brilliant.'
