By the way, anyone else appreciate how the better US dramas have actors that first got a chance to shine dramatically on "Oz"? For example, Lauren Velez and David Zayas are in "Dexter", whilst Edie Falco went on into "The Sopranos" and BD Wong and JK Simmons have been in "Law & Order SVU".

That would be me!... I think I even had a thread... sister Pete has even moved on, playing the grandmother/matriarch in the new CBS smash hit, Cane

Oz certainly seemed to be a great training ground

The evil governor was recently on Damages as the sexually confused lawyer, in my humble opinion, playing the role decisively

Methinks "Oz" will be looked back upon and seen as the real starting point of the last great phase of US TV drama. HBO and to a lesser extent Showtime have done so much to restore creative values to American TV, and it would be fantastic to think that a similar experience could happen here. Unfortunately I don't think any of the free to airs and most likely the pay TV channels would want to try something as edgy and as dark as "Dexter".

Have just watch x5 first episodes back to back on pay TV. And loved it. Sadly, though I missed half first one, but might be lucky to catch it again later.

Thank you for sharing

We back on Dexter yet? I am trying to acquire some eps but my PC is downloading at less than a snails pace

pssst... you want some episodes?  I have some episodes... I have every episode... come with me, let's discuss what I can do for you

Okay, gave it a go, watched about 6-8 eps and was not impressed. Don't like the main actor/character and that's never a good sign..... the last episode I watched was a fairly recent one from the US and it just got too gory and unbelievable. I really love 'Moonlight' but you can have your Dexter.

That ad you speak of is a classic.

Everyone has their own preferences... but you really should have started at the very beginning of series 1, and the ice-truck  killer & the huge revelation at the end of the series

'Serial killer' ad withdrawn after complaints
Posted 35 minutes ago


The SA Opposition said the promotion for the Dexter program was damaging to Adelaide tourism and the city's reputation. (supplied)

The offending item had promoted a pay TV program Dexter.

It included the words "Where are you going? Adelaide. What's in Adelaide? Well apparently Adelaide has more serial killers per capita than any other city in Australia."

The Liberal Opposition in SA says it received a number of complaints from South Australians that the promotion would hurt local tourism.

The Opposition wrote to Foxtel pointing out that continuing references to Adelaide as some sort of serial killers' capital was damaging for the city's reputation and tourism industry.

It says Foxtel agreed to stop using the promotion.
