Watch Oz 1997–2003 123movies, Full TV Series Online – OZ chronicles McManus’ (Terry Kinney) efforts to control the inmates of Em(erald) City as well as the drug trade and the violence. There have been many groups of inmates during the run of the show and not everybody makes it out alive. There are the gangstas (Adebisi, Wangler, Redding, Poet, Keene, Supreme Allah), Muslims (Said, Arif, Hamid Khan), Italians (Pancamo, Nappa, Schiebetta), bikers (Hoyt), Aryans (Schillinger, Robson, Mark Mack), Christians (Cloutier, Cudney), Latinos (Alvarez, Morales, Guerra, Hernandez), gays (Hanlon, Cramer), and a pile of others (the O’Riley brothers, Keller, Stanislovsky, etc.). And a great “everyman” character called Beecher offers a good look at a normal man who made one tragic mistake. Besides the regular inmates, there are guest stars such as Method Man, Luke Perry, Master P, Treach, etc. and a bunch of prison staff doctors (Dr. Nathan), a nun/psychologist (Sister Peter Marie), a bunch of guards–some honest, some crooked–and, of course, the warden, Leo Glynn. The whole thing is narrated and held together by inmate Augustus Hill, who provides the show with context and some sense of theme, and ties everything together nicely..
Plot: The daily lives of prisoners in Emerald City, an experimental unit of the Oswald Maximum Security Prison where ingroups – Muslims, Latinos, Italians, Aryans – stick close to their mutual friends and terrorizes their mutual enemies.

The most underrated show on tv
On HBO, all the Emmy’s for hard core drama go to THE SOPRANOS, and I dont’ think that’s bad. It is a great show. But Oz is better. It might well be the best thing on television. It doesn’t get the press of the Sopranos. And the other people who watch HBO (those who don’t like all the violence) whould much rather watch Ferris Beuller’s wife in SEX AND THE CITY, which I will NEVER watch. Oz is amazing because almost every charachter in it’s sea of people is in some way a terrible human being. But the magic of this show is that these terrible people become understandable. They do terrible things, but they are not all bad. Ryan O’Rielly, for example, is a cold-blooded killer. But when it comes to his brother and doctor Nathan, and more recently the priest he befriended, he is a warm and caring person who’s pain you empathize with. Oz takes murderers, rapists, thieves, and even a rich lawyer who ran down a young girl in a drunken stuper, and makes them likeable and forgivable. That’s incredible. And this show is incredible. It goes off the air soon for good, and I wish it had gotten the respect it deserved.
Still one of the best shows of all-time!
This is one of HBO’s first big hits and is still one of not only HBO’s best but one of the best in general! Oz will hook you from the very first episode through the finale and every episode is great!
