Monk... I actually liked Oz for about the first 3 seasons or so... I lloved the storylines, like Adabese (I'm SURE I spelled that wrong) and the mulsim leader guy and Beecher and Vern killing each others kids... That was cool.... Then one day, it's like they ran out of ideas... It just descended into ridiculous stories, like the guy who tried to dig his way out... and they started putting on plays... and then, just to throw in a little spice, they would show guys making out or one of them sticking a spoon up the other one's butt... Not sure if this was out of design (like "hell, we've shown all the guts and gore of prison, let's show some of the 'love'") or if they just ran out of good stories and started pulling whatever they could find out of their asses...
If I want a good prison movie now, I'll stick to Shawshank or that goofy one with Clint Eastwood where he escapes (which I know is basically the same movie, but Clint KICKS ASS!!!).... And, if I wanna see prisoners kiss, I'll rent "Chained Heat"... Hell, at least they're all women there...
BTW.... you're a limp-wristed limey.. or something..
