For all fans of Fox's Prison Break, this cannot be missed. The second series (currently being shown on Five) is every bit as good as the first. Jam packed with action, twists and turns around every corner and full of cliff hangers. This is US TV at its best. One of the best drama series made in recent years. Fans of Lost or 24 should definately give Prison Break a look.
This DVD begins where season 1 left off. Schofield and friends escape from Fox River and try to survive as long as possible without being caught. All to clear his brother's (Lincoln) name.
I do not want to spoil the fun for anyone not seen the DVD yet so I wont go into too much detail, but the first couple of episodes concentrate on the escapees and how they deal with running from the law. Tweener finds there is a surprise in store once he escapes and as the group spilts up to take their own path government agent Malone (new character) is given the tough job of tracking all the criminals down. But does he have other motives?
To sum up, you do not want to miss this. Watch the whole first and second series. You wont regret it!

I'm a huge fan of Prison Break and as such can quite happily say that there is far more about this that you could include in the review without giving away the plot. Try recapping the story i.e. Lincoln Burrows was sent to prison and put on death row for a murder he didn't commit, his brother Micheal commits a crime to be sent to the same prison as Lincoln to break his brother out. TRy including the price of the DVD, are there any extra features on the discs. How long each episode runs etc. All this info would greatly improve your review and get you much higher ratings. Hope this helps. If you edit this review leave a message in my guestbook and I'll pop back to rerate. P : )

Sorry for the low rating. I understand you don't want to give the plot away, but as someone who has never seen "Prison Break", I have no idea what it's about from this.
Advantages: Many characters with diverse motives, needs, hiistories and chacters Disadvantages: Can't think of any except I can't wait for what happens next
