Post by Its da jackeeetttttttUnrealistic parts: about 5 deaths per episode, Warden keeps his job
throughout 6 seasons. Grand finale of last episode nothing short of
exploding a nuke inside the prison and killing every character.
Prisoners have access to elevator shafts, storage closets, stairways.
Every civilian character who works at Oz has some personal trauma that
directly involves an inmate when he was on the outside. Chinese
immigrants have nowhere else to stay but at a maximum security prison.
A prisoner gets severely burned, and mysteriously disappears from the
hospital ward--- nobody bothers to search for him until 2 seasons
later. Drugs that make you magically age.
Yeah I'm just finishing season 4 on DVD and the unrealism is
bringing me down. Drugs that magically age you, and don't forget
- if it ages you 20 years, then your 20 year sentence is up and
you're free. I'd also add that some of the violence just looks
absurd - Adabizi (sp?) spitting up blood the color of kool-aid,
O'Reilly cutting his hand and blood instantaneously spurting out,
again a silly bright red color and thickness, and that one scene
where they're slammming Beecher's head into the table: the sound
of the head slams is hopelessly out of of sync with the action
like some Japanese sci-fi flick. Too bad, I'll probably stop
watching after season 4, even though there are some terrific
actors.
