There is an OZ book based off the show. It is out of print now but you can still find it on Amazon. It is called OZ: Behind These Walls: The Journal of Augustus Hill. It is bascially an episode guide but fron Hill's point of view.
Its cool to see that they actually pretty much built Em City as its seen in the show full scale. When he's showing the entrance arch area it looks exactly like it does on the show! They really went all out.
Because Tom Fontana did every thing he wanted to do with the characters and HBO asked if he wanted to end it with season 6 and he said yes. He did not want the show to become a joke or become to predicatable.
Where was ortolani gonna go though? He was bound to get killed by the end of season 1. He was too much of a hot head to survive. Atleast they gave him a memorable death. Plus, he made a big enough impact in 1 episode, that people still talk about his character. Not bad.
It allows them to see in to the pod with out having to be in front of them. With traditional cells you have to be standing in front of them to see what is going on in them. It is any easier way for the guards to see if anyone is breaking the rules. Since Em City is an experimental unit that is not ment to feel like a traditional prison it helps with that.
BRING BACK OZ!! It wouldn't be THAT difficult to do...just send the writers into a prison or two for a month and get some new ideas for stories! (Current Hollywood can't write for shit anymore anyway) I think the writers for OZ at the time did a stellar job however. I never saw a storyline that made me want to leave the room and get a snack, or change channels. It was ALL gripping, original stuff. I think I heard a few times that they wrapped it up because they had run out of ideas. (They said...well, at the TIME they said that.) I think they could easily pump out another 5 seasons and the series is still fresh on enough people's minds that they would instantly have a HUGE audience that would watch religiously... Especially if they brought back some of the old characters/actors. Just like in real life...the career criminals ALWAYS end up back in the Big House... ;}~
Red Dogg Rules reg e.cathy was the warden in last oz episode after glynn died. so get your facts straight, pussyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
We all want OZ but this show can`t be possible with this new generation man, feminism , gazism and all the political correct the world is more fucked then oz.
Just finished rewatching the entire show this week. It's so amazing they need to bring it back! Always bothers me tho, how it's a maximum security prison, people get shanked, raped and deal drugs everywhere.....But they never bothered to install any cameras even after a prison riot. Lol bless em. McManus was missing a trick there!
Actually the funny thing is there are cameras at least in em city. Guards just dont give a shit in that prison. Also the cameras kinda look towards completely pointless directions.
You do realise all of those things are actually happening often still in prisons with cameras rolling, a lot of prisons like to turn a blind eye to drugs because they can pacify and generally make everyone's life easier, even saw a British undercover guard years ago with hidden camera walked into a cell with a senior officer while they were smoking heroin and quickly turned round and left them to it.
the book is about OZ. the whole dorothy, tinman, lion, scarecrow thing. emerald city is just a place in the OZ book. seeing it was applied in the HBO series, i was just stating ^-^
Brent M. Dude Brian betrayed us all when BCG sends you an invite to their community accept it OK spread the word he said he doesn't care about the community and he doesn't care about us
Im sorry. I do enough it to know what it looks n sounds like when ur coked outta ur skull. Mr o reilly is def on the Bolivian marcholing powder in this scene. Lol Fun fact. Ryan o reilly is the same dude who does those be ready for accidents like me! W state farm. Lol. N Verne is the one for Farmers
The best part is that the set is so authentic. Really reflects the end result of the show's feel.
Well, authentic in that it isn't cheaply built..
HIS VOICE, ALONE, IS AMAZING

Oh I have this. I love it.

Man I bet Schillenger made this camera guy his *PRAG*
Have you read that his actor got depressed from playing such a nasty character?
Because Tom Fontana did every thing he wanted to do with the characters and HBO asked if he wanted to end it with season 6 and he said yes. He did not want the show to become a joke or become to predicatable.
They never should have cancelled OZ!
I totally agree, Dino Ortolani was a very good character that they just wasted. And I thought it was unfair that Cyril had to die. ;(
Tom Fontana said he didn't want anyone getting attached to one character.
Fucking spoiler
What season are you on?
Where was ortolani gonna go though? He was bound to get killed by the end of season 1. He was too much of a hot head to survive. Atleast they gave him a memorable death. Plus, he made a big enough impact in 1 episode, that people still talk about his character. Not bad.
Fun fact: Dean Winters (Ryans O'relly) and E.R Rodgers (James Robson) are born the same day and same years : July 20th 1964
I love Dean and his brother Scott Winters.
I love Dean Winters!

Red Dogg Rules hey racist leave them alone
sdwolfcub maybe 1 day they will, even if is only 1 season.
+sdwolfcub Maybe they'll bring it back for a 20-year anniversary in 2017. But that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.
We all want OZ but this show can`t be possible with this new generation man, feminism , gazism and all the political correct the world is more fucked then oz.
i love his voice ;)
I would pay to visit that place if it still existed
Such a great actor, I only see him in commercials now though.

Many people don't know that Mayhem spent 12 years in Oswald Correctional facility before his time with Allstate

I love Oz, I love O'Reilly brothers...Ryan...
Dean Winters rocks! I wonder if he's been part of any new hyped up projects.
it's one of the funniest scenes when he beats that dude with the bible and then he looks at it and says "wow, this thing really came in handy."
I love me some Dean Winters, he looks just like my English Teacher Mr. Nelles from my high school
W tv show
They should have made a Max Payne movie with Dean Winters, he'd be perfect for the character. He's too old now, though.
O reliiey the goat 🐐
😎Hottest Bad Boy Ever!😍
bring back oz
0:58 through 1:11 That's a very effective way for a non-spiritual person to use the bible. I love Ryan!
@Pahvilaatikko15 No. It was all on a set that they built to look like a prison but it is was not a real one.
