While the picture occasionally looks good, and the drab metallic look of the series is presented well, there is a bit of video noise here and there. So when you see the grain here, it's supposed to be there and isn't a fault of the mastering process.
The series is very gritty, and as a result the show features quite a bit of grain in the picture, which carries across to the transfer in this DVD set.
#Oz tv series dvd full
JAILHOUSE+ROCK! The Video Unlike The Sopranos, Oz is filmed and aired on HBO in full frame, and that's what you get on this DVD. This series is one of the reasons that HBO is simply the best network on television. The first two hold three a piece with the third containing the final two along with a couple minor special features. The episodes are spread across three discs. Longtime fans of the series will definitely get a kick out of seeing the first steps of Tobias after these five rough seasons of the show. It may be short (only eight episodes), but if you've never seen Oz you'll probably find yourself sitting through all eight hours in one sitting after starting up the first disc. It laid the groundwork for HBO's newer dramas (Sopranos, Six Feet Under), and this first season is even good five years after it aired.
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. Oz is rough, gritty, and knocks you for a loop. He's a family man and a lawyer, but just was a bit of a sloppy driver, which got him convicted of vehicular manslaughter and resulted in his sentence in Oz. Compared to the rest of the inhabitants, Tobias is just your normal guy. With many characters entering and leaving Oz either living or otherwise, to peg one character as the "main" is a bit tricky, but season one begins with the introduction of Tobias Beecher to the Emerald City. But, The Emerald City is made up of prisoners of different religions, races, and social groups (many of which are mortal enemies) and when you throw all of that into a small-enclosed space such as a maximum-security prison, something is going to pop. Here prisoners are thrown together in a small metal and glass city where they are meant to not only live and work together, but also become rehabilitated if they ever manage to be released. The Show Oz tells the story of an experimental "society" inside the Oswald Maximum Security Prison called The Emerald City. The show gives a no-holds-barred account of prison life with all the plots, subplots and conflicts given context and explanation by the show's wheelchair-bound narrator, Augustus Hill.HBO's harsh and gritty prison drama, Oz, has been going on for a good five years now, and thanks to the success of both The Sopranos and Sex in the City on DVD this popular, if a bit overlooked, drama finally sees its own DVD release in the form of a three-disc set that contains the entire eight-episode first season of the show. Others, Corrections officers and inmates alike, simply want to survive long enough to make parole or even to see tomorrow. Others want money, either through slinging 'tits' (drugs), gambling or other scams.
Some fight for power either power over the drug trade or power over the other inmate factions. Under unit manager Tim McManus and Warden Leo Glynn, the inmates in Em City all struggle to fulfill their own needs. Oz chronicles life inside an experimental cell block in the Oswald Maximum Security Correctional Facility: Level Four called Emerald City.
