I always thought O’Reilly and Keller were the best characters. I recently watched the series again and I have convinced myself that Omar is the best. I just feel his emotions and he was sympathetic. A tremendous survivor.
I felt so sorry for Omar White towards the end of the series. I mean, he truly was a guy who wanted to change for the better, but as with everyone, fucking Oz (the prison) wouldn't let him. Yeah, and I thought he did a pretty good job singing, too.
Probably some parallels to real prison, with guys who made awful decisions and are trapped. Omar was a human tragedy, and definitely one of the strongest characters.
Well that wasn't actually him singing in The 5 Heartbeats but his character here, Omar, is a junkie and isn't supposed to be talented and that's part of what makes this so courageous on his part.
@YnotBUildUrBOdY I admit it. I definitely have some of Omar's personality traits. I'm quick tempered, often ready 2 fight, been called crazy by my peers countless times but I am trying 2 change my ways, watch my temper & focus more on having a good time & walking away instead of always smashing someone's face in. I have a heart tho & I do have the potential for redemption. Omar was funny cuz he spoke barely above a whisper. That was his natural tone lol.
