Customer Reviews

If you like your drama to be compelling and uncomfortable in equal measures, then Oz is for you. Quite simply this is one of the best things HBO ever did. It's raw and explicit at times, but it is filled with brilliant performances and amazing writing. Highly addictive.
If you've enjoyed other HBO series such as Six Feet Under or the Sopranos, chances are you'll love this.

It's taken five years but at last Oz has been released on Region 2 DVD. But has it been worth the wait? Yes... and no. Don't get me wrong- Oz is a fantastic show: great stories, well told. My only grievance is with the complete absence of any extras. The Region 1 DVD contains two audio commentaries by series creator Tom Fontana and star Lee Tergesen, biographies, deleted scenes, a featurette and a music video. So why is this not the case with the Region 2 DVD? If you have a multi-region DVD player, my advice would be to invest in the Region 1 version. Die-hard fans will probably be disappointed by the lack of bonus material to complement the series. According to the inside flyer, Season 2 is released on Region 2 DVD in May 2007, followed by season 3 in November 2007.
