The HBO series \"Oz\"
Since I'm basically done watching the Sopranos (have to wait till Season 6 Part 2 comes out on DVD to watch the rest) after renting every season via netflix, I've decided to get into another series. Sopranos was amazing, I've also seen Lost which was great as well, and I love the high drama lifestyle that was constantly present in the Sopranos, with tales of lives I could only imagine living in. I thought about the Wire, but I heard a lot of mixed reviews on it and it supposedly can be pretty slow, so I've decided on "Oz" after I saw a lot of good reviews for it on Netflix.
I'm almost done watching the first episode, and so far it looks very interesting. Like the Sopranos, there are tons of intimidating characters that draw me to the series for one reason or another. The storyline seems good so far as well, and I've always been curious how prison life is. So for people who have followed this show, what do you think of it?

Oz is good for 3 or so seasons (can't remember).
The last couple of seasons are a totally different show however, a very bad one. The Wire is amazing, best or second best drama in tv history depending on ur view of the Sopranos

The first four-ish seasons of Oz are [censored] great. It gets worse later on though, last few seasons not of same quality.

Season 3 is one of the best seasons of television ever, and season 5 was berry berry bad.

Season 1: Fantastic. Jefferson Keane is one of the most interesting characters ever.
Seasons 2 and 3: Very compelling television 1st half of season 4: The rise and fall of Adebisi. Unbelievable stuff. After that? Ick.

I don't see how that's even possible, given how awesome the Sopranos is.
