Edgy Gays of the 90s - Did you watch Oz?

The show seems uneven in parts, but they had some good characters, including this hottie Jason Cramer. As I recall, Oz was popular with edgy straight people who thought prison was cool and layered - just as they did more recently for Orange Is the New Black.

What did you think of this show, if you watched it? And if you didn't watch it, why not?

I didn’t have cable.

But thanks for asking.

Yes I loved it. Character driven stories and hot eye candy. Ryan O’Reilly was my TV crush forever.

JK Simmons seems like such a sweetheart now, so it's fun to show his Oz character to Millennials who think he's the perfect TV dad.

Loved it for the griping drama, the real-life (though I’m normally squeamish about such things), great eye candy, and the amazing cast. I mean, come on — when Charles Busch went to the chair in full Susan Hayward drag with Rita Moreno’s support!

Ha ha, gripping drama, the real-life violence ^^

I love a layered storyline. Don’t you?

I love watching pricks get their comeuppance, but also seeing the bad guys win sometimes.

I would've felt sorry for Winthrop and Guenzel, but they violently raped a woman for fun. So their getting turned into suck-fest prison bitches maybe taught them some empathy. Plus, Winthrop apparently got to be very good at sucking cock.

My husband and I watched it in its original run and enjoyed it. Soap opera story lines, decent acting, and naked guys. What wasn't to like?

R8 I don't remember anyone ever going full pickle. You saw some ass, sure, but nothing more than you'd catch on Queer as Folk.

Chris Meloni showed dick and hole.

R9, there was a veritable smorgasbord of pickle on Oz.

Here's Luke Perry...

Keller killed at least two homos by snapping their necks while they were giving him blowjobs.

But wasn't he in prison for murdering several gay men after sex?

Not gay, but I watched it religiously. Or until its brutality and despair became ridiculously forced during the last season. I get the hopelessness, but not when it became so contrived. After awhile it became like Oscar Wilde’s “you need a heart of stone not to laugh”.

Rita Moreno ruined the show. They should have cast Chita Rivera.

R16 Charo or nobody!

"Edgy straight people"?

by Anonymousreply 18August 28, 2021 9:53 AM

I was 16 and in heaven watching it in my room with my door locked, dick firmly in hand.

As much as I always appreciated Meloni's nudity & found him sexy, the one who really did it for me was Dean Winters
