Review

Prison is tough on the inside but, as we learn in the sweat-puke-and-AIDS-blood-drenched HBO smash Oz, prisoners themselves have all kinds of tender parts on their insides. Set in the experimental Oswald Correctional Facility, Oz chronicled the never less than over-the-top antics of hardened (in every sense) felons, including philosophical cripple Augustus (Harold Perrineau), white-power whack-job Schillinger (J.K. Simmons), sensitive soul Beecher (Lee Tergesen), and crooked-hat-wearing Adebisi (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje). Amidst more penis and man-to-man mouth action than most viewers could believe they were enjoying, Oz also occasionally welcomed a woman behind its bars, including Kathryn Erbe, who brought life to death row by lifting her skirt and showing off her lap munchkin.
