two major insurance companies got their “spokespeople” for commercials from two actors from this show.

I liked this show when it came out, but in hindsight, it’s not very good.

base off 2 people from this show Makes it sound like they base it on the characters from the show

or are you saying that two actors from the show are now spokespeople for two large insurance companies

You’re right. Wasn’t really sure how to word it because I wasn’t sure if spokesperson was the right word. I changed it. Still not sure if spokesperson is right, but frick it.

I did a rewatch a few months ago... I still liked it- way more dong than I had remembered.

Why u think it isn't very good?

It’s not well written and some of the subplots are bad, IMO.

There are only so many times prisoners can be walking in dark unattended hallways at night to kill someone.

The show was over the top ridiculous from the start but it really was eye rolling bad by the end.

I've never seen an episode and I know it has lots of dong because everyone joked about that when it ran.

Before JK Simmons was arse raping Tobias, Tobias was in the car during the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in Wayne's World.

McManus was in The Last of The Mohicans.

After re-watching it probably 10 years ago I felt it wasn’t good writing either. Like as soon as a certain type of prisoner dies a new one just happens to show up for his tour of duty in the prison so to speak. I just thought it was way too convenient and the story overall Was not near as good as what we get shortly after with the Sopranos.

The Allstate character is heavily based on the character of Dennis from 30 Rock. If Farmers had based their character on Simmons’ in Oz, it would be epic.

Yes.

Ad people: we need someone wholesome for these commercials.
Someone: how bout the guy who’s character was a neo nazi arse rapist?

If the story was realistic the experimental unit would have been closed after a few episodes. It’s been a while since I watched it but don’t they basically get more freedom to move around after the riot?

I had to quit watching. It turned into like a gay porno where every 20 minutes, some dude gets shanked in the stomach.

Other than the homo stuff, I liked the first 3.5 seasons. Once a certain character died midway through Season 4, it jumped the shark with the storyline.

Show relied solely on shock value. Uninteresting beyond that.
