The Oswald Maximum
Security Prison has opened an experimental new ward
reserved for especially dangerous criminals. This
unit, Emerald City, focuses on rehabilitation, but
the world on the inside is even more corrupt and
violent than the mean streets where these inmates
come from. Inside the walls there are also two sets
of rules, those laid down by the warden and those
understood by the racially divided prisoners.
This HBO series is full of gritty, violent imagery
and deftly handles sensitive issues about the
American Justice System. This collection chronicles
the entire first season which culminates in an
unforgettable takeover of the prison by the inmates.
Barry Levinson and Tom Fontana created the gritty
series. The acclaimed cast includes Rita Moreno, B.D.
Wong, Ernie Hudson, and Lauren Velez. Eight one-hour
episodes. |

former inmate Charles Dutton and a final scene that

OF GRAVITY), Mary Harron (AMERICAN PSYCHO) and actress

This release contains every episode
from the third season of HBO's hard-hitting prison
drama. The third season finds Warden Glynn (Ernie
Hudson) adjusting to new staff members while
struggling to maintain control over his unruly and
violent inmate population. Directed by some of
Hollywood's most celebrated directors--and
actors--OZ proves once again that HBO is
television's most controversial and invigorating
network.
"[W]here OZ succeeds is in rendering the
most mundane of interactions sinister." |
