DVD : Oz - The Complete Fifth Season

Rating: - We Will Have To Wait Forever For Season 6 to Complete Set
I don't understand who decides what shows do and dont get released. Shows I have never heard of (me and the rest of the country that is) are released fairly quick and in order, but shows like NYPD Blue is just now releasing the 3rd season? It is off the air and ran for 12 seasons and we are only up to #3??? How about Third Watch and Thirty Something ? The Soprano's last season, come on this is crazy that these DVD's are released like they are. I have seen many people write about this in viewers comments, but we continue to be ignored. Hey executives, listen to the public, we are the ones lining your pockets.

Rating: - Oz, Never A Disappointment
OZ is by far my favorite drama series ever put on television. What makes this show so unique is the amount of characters on the show. There are about ten main characters and everyone else is part of the supporting cast and yet everyone manages to get their own storylines. Many shows suffer from the sophmore slump in which they continue to do more of the same rather than to explore new territories. When I rented the first disc of season 1 a couple years ago i loved it so much that i just went out and bought it. Then I bought season 2, 3, 4, 5 as they would come out. Each season is just as good, if not better than the last. Season one is the hinter as to what may come later. Season two is the most violent and is also the beginning of long lasting relationships (ex. Beecher and Keller), season three is very much a charater focuser. It's still violent but they focus more on characterization probably more than any other season. Season four is a combination of everything. At the time they thought it was going to be their last season and so it has 16 episodes, almost like having two new seasons at once! At first everything goes extremely well for some of the baddest characters (like Adebisi) and then when you get to about episode 9, everything goes back to normal, well normal in an Oz sense! Then season five (which oddly enough is just as good as 4 even though its only 8eps again) kind of slows us down and takes some time sort of to reflect on things that happened and things to come. Four and Five are my favorite seasons but each one before that is just as great. A lot of shows suffer because the creator of them doesn't write a lot of the episodes for the show. Tom Fontana (creator of OZ) writes almost all of the episodes. This show is so well written, and in my opinion quite unbiased, that you can't help but love this show. I cannot wait until season 6, i mean how the heck could they end this show?!

Rating: - Oz - The Fifth Season
Get's off to a slow start but soon picks up with all the old favourites up to their usual tricks, cons and survival techniques within the walls of Oz, a must buy for all Oz fans.

Rating: - THIS ROCKS!!!
This season (5) rocks just like all of the other ones! Just when you thought that watching something you have already seen once might be a little too predictable and boring- you then watch all of the seasons of OZ over and over and you realize that when a series has so much going on and every character is an interesting one you cant get bored...ever! I LOVE OZ and I can't wait for the next season.

Rating: - Keller missed......
As previously mentioned in other reviews, this series has something missing; but you do get the impression it's starting to run out of steam and the plot lines seem a little leaden in their formulaic nature - what was originally novel now appears a tad stale - additionally, you get the clear impression that all plot lines are being tidied up for the final season.

My only regret is that Keller appears very rarely (being one of my favourite psychotic characters) which was an opportunity missed.
