OZ

(Anonymous) 2016-09-28 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
So I started watching HBO's Oz a few weeks ago, and devoured it for a few seasons. But now I'm halfway through season 4 and I'm getting burnt out. It's just starting to feel a little... over the top? I mean, it was probably that way form the start, but at this point it's hard to suspend belief that they wouldn't be massively concerned that these dudes keep murdering each other. It also just feels stupidly cruel at times, like the first episode of season four when that guy was being bullied and even complained, and the dude who is supposed to be running Oz didn't do shit. He's supposed to be a good guy, but everything about this prison is so incompetent.

I really just want to skip through to all the gay scenes tbh. Though I enjoy some of the characters, at this point, there just feels like there's so much... filler? Especially since they killed off one of the most menacing but captivating characters halfway through this season.

SA - oh sorry I thought this would collapse! I don't think I posted anything that's a clear spoiler though... sorry if so!

LOL McManus, a disaster of a person who never should have run anything at all. 4 is especially over the top because they thought they were getting canceled and figured they'd go out in a blaze of glory, which would have been vastly preferable to how they actually went out, by killing off anyone interesting and focusing on random peripheral characters I've never seen a single person give a single shit about. I'm usually very accepting of character death as a part of storytelling, especially in dark and violent universes like Oz, but there's one late in the series that was so stupid and unnecessary and just plain hamfisted that it still pisses me off to this day, lol. I loved him more than anyone else ever on that show, but man, even if I hadn't, that was some bafflingly terrible writing. I ended up hatewatching the rest of it. Character you mention was also great and irreplaceable. Feel free to skip through any way you want, seriously. Saaaaave yourself!

Lol the hard thing is, I feel myself LIKING McManus - he's written to have a conscience and stand up against injustice, and I like the acting of the character. He's also frequently the underdog. But shit, he really is inept. So are the guards. When you have this many murders/rapes happening, you think you'd actually monitor your prisoners a little better.
