[Ryan O'Reily, Oz]

I always thought he was a really interesting character.

[(Anonymous)]

But I had to stop watching the show after a while, the violence started to really get to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like if he was real there would be a lot of battered girlfriends or wives left in his wake.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, OP, O'Reily always annoyed the hell out of me. I always felt the writers loved him and thought he was charming. I didn't. The only aspect I liked about him was his relationship with his brother. The whole being in love with Gloria thing just crept me out, yet they kept it going, season after season trying to make it into something.

But OZ was amazing!!! Thanks for the OZ secret, OP.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I understand. It does feel like the Gloria thing kinda stalled out after a few seasons. I think he's charming bc I think Dean Winters is charming and, as stated above, i really like manipulative characters. I haven't finished the show though (I'm about halfway through the last season) so idk what becomes of him yet.

You're welcome for the OZ secret!!

[tabaqui]

I would like to watch Oz but...all the exploitative, hyper-violent stuff in most prison shows (and this one, it seems, by trailers and fandom chatter) is just too much for me.

[(Anonymous)]

Ryan O'Reily and Chris Keller were my problematic faves and biggest crushes on this show. It doesn't help that in the context of Oz, these guys are... not even really the bad guys? They do some incredibly fucked up things, but I was still kind of rooting for them.
It doesn't hurt that they're attractive.

This is all better left to the world of fiction though. If I met a Ryan O'Reily type in person, I would run screaming in the other direction. I'm not really the marrying a death row inmate kinda gal.

[(Anonymous)]

Though he probably deserves it for the people he killed and the ones he caused to be killed, he wasn't actually on death row.

[(Anonymous)]

Keller was a fascinating character but I found him supremely creepy. Meloni did such an amazing job portraying Keller that I always had issues when watching him on Law and Order SVU- I could not watch Stabler and not see Keller. I had the same problem with JK Simmons for a while- he's a wonderful actor but when I first saw Juno, I kept waiting for Schillinger to lose it and go crazy. I think him as JJ Jamison is what changed my mind.

Dean Winters (O'Reilly) is also a good actor, but in everything I've seen him in since Oz, he oozes that O'Reilly charm and that hint of violence, no matter the role.

[(Anonymous)]

Man I haven't heard about this show in ages. I used to love it but somehow never saw the last season. I should probably change that.

Yeah I used to love Riley too. He was terrible but somehow less terrible than most of the other inmates, which isn't saying much. I definitely would not want to meet him irl though.

[anarchicq]

Don't watch the last season.

Yaknow how some people say you're allowed to lie to yourself about a show? The whole "It's too bad Heroes never got a second or third or fourth season..." thing?

Yeah, I'm like that with OZ. The final season is goddamn bullshit.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm gonna second this. The last season is genuinely terrible, and I say that as someone with a really, really high tolerance for terrible.

[anarchicq]

Let's just regress EVERYONE'S CHARACTER. That'll be a good finale, right?

[(Anonymous)]

...including the murder of Gloria's husband?
