![]() ![]() [For example: In season 2, Ryan tries to have Schillinger killed. Also, he insulates himself from doing the dirty work, if someone asks him to kill someone, or if he needs someone killed He creates a set of circumstances where he either convinces someone to kill the person or extorts someone into doing the deed. The most unique thing about how he lies, is that there's about 90% truth to what he says, he twists facts to help deny his involvement, which makes it extremely difficult to tell whether he is lying or not and he's persuasive enough to get people to believe him. Though he would not shy from betraying one person or another if it meant risking his being found out or killed by staying silent. But Ryan knew what everyone wanted, he would make friends in high places on both sides of the fence and in every ethnic group by dealing drugs to them, tipping them off, keeping his ears open to gain information to barter with. He didn't belong to any gang, he was by himself for the most part, minus his brother Cyril whom he had to look out for. Whether or not he is the most intelligent is another story. He is quite possibly the smartest person serving time in Oz. This can be seen as similar to Tom Fontana's previous show, Homicide, which began with Tim Bayliss arrival in the homicide unit and ended with his leaving but wherein Bayliss did not feature in every episode.īecause he is very smart, cunning, can think on his feet and never panics. Beecher appears in every episode but plays a limited role in many episodes. The season four finale (which was originally planned as the series finale) shows Beecher being released from Oz. ![]() The show somewhat follows his life in Oz with the first episode beginning with his arrival and the final episode showing his removal from Oz. The closest Oz has to a main character would seem to be Tobias Beecher. After Hill's death in the fifth season, the sixth season saw different guest narrators for each episode to soliloquize to the audience. August Hill had the most screen time, however, as the character had special narrative segments in which the fourth wall was broken for the first five seasons. Each character represents the different groups of people that live in Oz, and how they interact within their groups and with others. To a lesser extent, Miguel Alvarez and Vernon Schillinger. However, it could be said that the show has focus on a certain group of characters Ryan O'Reilly, Kareem Said, Tobias Beecher, Tim McManus, and Augustus Hill. No, the show follows multiple characters and their stories. ![]()
