Besides, is Oz a bad show?
OZ definitely didn't age well and got particularly ridiculous as the seasons progressed. It's funny, watching OZ clips now I realize how corny this show was. I mean, I still watch the clips, it's not a "bad" show. But it's a real flawed soap opera, in a sense.
Beside above, how realistic is the show Oz? Some of it is realistic but obviously they took liberties. The amount of violence shown on Oz actually far exceeds the amount in normal prisons (a character seems to die nearly every episode) and obviously plot devices like the notorious "aging pills" are pure fiction.
