The penultimate series of the brilliantly gruesome prison drama Oz made a shock, unheralded appearance in Channel 4’s Christmas schedules. The show that confirms my worst fears about mankind is perfect festive viewing, as it illustrates that when needs must, all feelings of generosity, mutual trust and understanding fly out the window, it’s every man for himself. Can this series top the last its stand-out showpieces of pure evilness? The long-time-coming battle to the death between Abedisi and Said was amazing, and the outcome unexpected, while the wonderfully mean sudden release of poor Beecher (which turned out to be the cruelest dream sequence in any TV programme… ever!) just proved Oz will never take the soft option. And as for the much-anticipated, full-frontal appearance of Luke Perry, well not even the other genitalia on display could top that - nope, not even you Chris Meloni. So, what can we expect from this lastest series? We just don’t know, as C4 aren’t releasing specific information. In fact, I’m even sure that it is the penultimate series they’re showing - but not even Channel 4 could be rotten enough to miss out an entire series of one of the best US imports they own… Oh wait minute, yes they could.
