If there was one word to sum up prison break it would have to be "SUPERB!!". I remember when I was first told about prison break and at first I thought that it sounded quite interesting so I went out and bought the first season on DVD. As soon as I watched the first episode I had to watch the next one as I was blown away at how clever and unique the first episode was. I then remember watching the whole of the first season only to find out that the second series is not out yet so I had to wait a few months for them to come out, but with this DVD set you will be getting not one but all three of the series that are out so far. Each season contains 22 episodes except for season three which has 13 episodes due to the writters going on strike at the time.
Not only do this set contain all the episodes but it also contains extras like deleted scenes, Audio commentary and the making of the show, as well as others. One of my favourite special features is a Featurette called beyond the ink which shows how the tattoo on the main character was created and how it is applied to his body.

DVD Description
Contains the first three series of prison drama PRISON BREAK. In the first series, 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.
