HBO's violent, prison life drama is an addictive, hormone soaring soap opera. The eight episodes of the first season set the tone for the whole drama: a large number of actors portrayed realistic characters inside and outside the railings, and four or five stories developed at a fast and suffocating speed, accompanied by angry and eccentric narratives and dramatic growth in mortality. Created by Tom Fontana, the producer of Homicide, the show soon won the title of"the most violent TV program". This film is like a simple chemical reaction: it fuses various explosive elements in a limited sealed container and shakes the yellow brick road of Oswald Detention Center (affectionately called OZ by prisoners) to"Emerald City" - a clean prison built of concrete and glass, supervised by Tim McManus, the prison reform advocate. The first season introduces two of the most striking prisoners: Beecher, a lawyer, who turned from a cowardly lamb to a fearless drug addict, and Kareem Said, a Muslim activist, a fierce nonviolent leader, whose prison reform movement ended with a violent uprising at the end of the season. The actors of the first season also include: Ernie Hudson -- warden, Rita Moreno -- drug treatment nun, Edie Falco -- inspector
