    Oz - Thursday nights on Tg4, survivor, double nip tuck double OZ.

    Needed 2 Vhs's or a very un-productive friday at school

    God Oz was great, this thread has me wanting to start over again now but it's such an investment!

    the fight between Dan and the Captain in Deadwood was one of those fights that just felt raw and real

    Credit where its due though, but RTE set the trend in this kind of thing years ago, and other networks have only caught on in the last 10 years. Remember Miley and Biddy's cousin (or niece?) in Glenroe ? Sick. Lets just say there was hay involved. Makes you regret that some things just cant be unseen.


    They was just aping the Riordans , Mary and a young Gabrial Byrne, and poor young Benji away on the missions

    The 4th she season of The Wire where Chris smashes Michaels stepfather with a gun until there is noting left of his face wasn't altogether pleasant.

    Banshee

    One of the best fight scenes I've ever seen was in it.

    Yep Banshee triumphs over Game of Thrones and True Detective in terms of Sex and violence by a long mile. I've never witnessed any show like it. It makes Spartacus look tame.

    And since Cinemax is owned by HBO anyway so It counts.

    OZ!

    The scene with Mr Echo (I know) a large tub of lard and a poor unfortunate in the kitchen will stay with me forever...

    I've never seen Oz and because of your description above I never will.. Thanks, I think....

    That was pretty grim but I thought the implication that Chris was molested as a kid went a long way in explaining his violence, in other words, the scene was justified.

    But Snoop just standing there with her jaw dropped was pretty funny. "Dayyum, you didn't even wait to get the muhfukka in the house".

    Most of the discussion so far seems to be about Oz.

    Oz hands down for that spooning scene alone. I'll never be able to spoon someone without reliving that scene in my head.

    was that the one at the end of season 1?
    in the sheriffs house between his missus and the russian guy?

    Depends what you're into, but yeh, I could see how a lot of people could be put off by that one.

    Doesn't tony soprano kerb sandwhich a guy toward the end of the soprano's? Think it's a toilet bowl rather than a kerb, but the principle is the same. Grim.

    He later found one of the guys teeth in the turn up of his trousers while at a parent teacher meeting!

    I miss that type of black humour that The Sopranos did almost effortlessly.

    That scene in GOT where Greyjoy was pulling the gee out of "some wench" on a horse...only to find out its his sister. Probably more amusing than mad explicit though.

    No. Between Nola and Kais bodyguard. Epic fight involving and axe and the inside of a car.

    Anytime the phrase "spooning" is mentioned to me, I don't think of the cuddling position :(

    Not a violent scene but having to witness Chris Kellers bent over with his ass checks spread up close and personal beats 30 violent deaths you'll ever in 0z.

    Actually the guy who plays Wolfgang Cutler in Oz is an Irish actor Brendan Kelly, he was also in Con Air.

    I've only watched 2 episodes of Oz...sounds like I have, eh, things to look forward to!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 102 ✭✭El Diablo Blanco


    Haven't seen Oz, so I have (thankfully, from the sounds of it) not witnessed any of the above. My psyche is probably the better for it.

    Worst I've seen was GoT, I'd say, where
    Oberyn Martell
    is killed by
    The Mountain
    ; his eyes gouged out extremely gruesomely, and his head popped like a child's party balloon full of raspberry jam. Nashty.

    Curb...the episode with the 9yr old girl with "the rash on her pussy" ....hilarious and skirting on the edge

    The Red Wedding in GOT shocked me the first time I saw it, closely followed by the Viper and the Mountain the following season. Although I suspected what may happen in the latter, the former was a different kettle of fish altogether.

    I knew it was going to happen but Robbs wife isn't at the wedding in the books so it was far more disturbing to watch. And apparently there's a scene in the next book that been described as the most horrific thing George R R Martin has written. I have a fair idea which character is involved which, if filmed, should be all the more disturbing to watch..

    I know this is about HBO shows and not Netflix ones, but I just saw the first episode of the second season of House of Cards (which is very HBO-esque).

    Holy fucking shit at that scene in the train station.
