This. It's like how Richard Pryor specials aren't funny anymore because you've already seen it ripped off and/or refined a hundred times.
Also, there was no budget so Oz was mostly done in single takes. Like the producers didn't want Adebisi to wear that hat. In the first shoot, he wore it anyway and there wasn't any budget to reshoot so the hat became the hat. The actor talked about it on Opie and Anthony and I'm sure it's on YouTube.
The first seasons are far from horrible. Then it gets pretty horrible.
