don't waste your time - OZ: Series 1 review by CP Customer
I had heard good things about this series, released on HBO. The reality was, for me, very disappointing - I found it dated, cliche-ridden with a clunky plotline. The acting is awful and at times it felt like the whole thing was a send up but unfortunately I think they were playing it for real.
