Advantages: Well written and acted, very exciting and original. Disadvantages: May be a bit violent for some
...this years big TV hit, Prison Break. Originally shown on Five earlier this year, it garnered huge word-of-mouth and won a new army of fans when it was repeated on UKTV Gold. Now the entire first series is released on DVD, so you don't get the agonising weekly wait for the next episode. Big cliffhanger? Just whack in the next DVD and keep on watching! Also, with series 2 just starting in the US its a perfect time to catch up with the best TV show ... ...labyrinthe and seemingly endless plot, Prison Break keeps things tight and not a second is wasted. Witness this from the fast-paced first episode. While most shows will take a few hours to set the scene, the credits have barely finished rolling when mild mannered architect Michael Schofield (Wentworth Miller) walks into a crowded bank and attempts a robbery. However he's already called the cops, and is sent to Fox River Penitentiary where his brother ...

DVD Description
Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is an inmate on death-row for the killing of the brother of the Vice President of the United States, a murder he vows he did not commit but only his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) believes him. Michael takes the extreme action of getting himself arrested. With the blueprints of the jail disguised in a tattoo that encompasses his body, Michael attempts to create a support network in prison that will allow his brother and himself to escape. Fellow prisoners looking to escape and willing to help Michael and his brother include ex-mob boss Abruzzi, C-Note, Sucre and T-Bag. Despite having bonded with prison governor Pope (Stacey Keach), Michael has attracted the suspicions of the menacing Captain Bellick (Wade Williams). Meanwhile, on the outside the brothers' childhood friend and lawyer Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) works to uncover the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. PRISON BREAK first aired in 2005 and quickly became hugely successful around the world thanks to the tension filled, beat-the-clock storyline and cunning plot twists, making it an intriguing combination of the prison drama OZ and the real-time secret service drama 24. Features all 22 episodes of the first season.
