OZ tells it like it is, and baby, it ain't pretty. No SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION here, folks, no benevolent GREEN MILE guards or saintly supernatural inmates. if what you want is the usual depiction that passes for prison life in a dramatic format. and ties everything together really nicely. The whole thing is narrated and held together by inmates Augustus Hill, who provides the show with some context, some sense of theme, etc. Nathan), a nun/psychologist (Sister Peter Marie), a bunch of guards some honest, some crooked and of course the warden Leo Glynn.
Besides the regular inmates, there's guest stars such as Method Man, Luke Perry, Master P, Treach, etc. And there's a great "everyman" character called Beecher who gives a good look at a normal man who made one tragic mistake. There's the gangstas (Adebisi, Wangler, Redding, Poet, Keene, Supreme Allah), Muslims (Said, Arif, Hamid Khan), Italians (Pancamo, Nappa, Schiebetta), bikers (Hoyt), Aryans (Schillinger, Robson, Mark Mack), Christians (Cloutier, Cudney), Latinos (Alvarez, Morales, Guerra, Hernandez), gays (Hanlon, Cramer) and a whole pile of others (the O'Riley brothers, Keller, Stanislovsky, etc.). There have been many groups of inmates during the run of the show and not everybody makes it out alive. OZ chronicles the attempts of McManus (Terry Kinney) to keep control over the inmates of Em(erald) City as well as the drug trade and the violence.
