I still really liked the second season of Oz but I think it suffers somewhat from a sophomore slump - it lacks some of the pointed critique of S1 and has aged worse in terms of its themes in many respects. With all that said, if I ignore or place less focus on the metatextual story, and instead just on the plot points as presented, Oz remains a very good show. The cast continues to impress and, again, there are so many big actors in here that I've seen in numerous other great TV shows and movies. The storylines are also complex and keep me well engaged with the show so I don't ever find myself bored. Lives up to its classic reputation so far.
