Oz Rewatch
The past year has been good for rewatching series I loved. I've gotten around to rewatching Oz.
Every time, I can go through season 1-3 with no problem and relatively quickly, since each season is 8 episodes. Then you get to season 4 and there are 16 episodes. It feels a little slower, mostly because of the way their contracts were, so many actors were in only a few episodes. It almost feels like 3 seasons into one.
Finally I get to season 5 and each episode feels like it lasts a month. We're back to 8 episodes, but each episode is filled with so many mind=fucking games, which I find even worse than the physical violence, that it really feels a lot longer than an hour.
Also the Cyril story line kills me every time. Yes, Ryan is an ass and Cyril wouldn't be in Oz without Ryan, but man, the system really fucks up from day one with Cyril.
