Prison Break .. how hard can it be?

Advantages: It's brilliant!
Disadvantages: It comes to an end!

Prison Break is definitely my favourite on-going tv series at the moment. From the very first episode, I found myself fixated with the show, and I can honestly say that I can barely remember even seeing a single bad episode, and the series has completed it's third season by now. Season 1 was created by Paul Scheuring, and Season 1 first aired in 2006, on Channel 5, and has since become one of the most popular tv shows both in the Us and here in the ...
...get his brother out of prison to give himself enough time to prove his innocence. Michael was an architect involved in the design of Fox River Penitentiary, where his brother is imprisoned, and he has disguised the blueprints of the prison in a series of clever tattoos that are covering his body from waist to neck. He decides to hold up a bank in order to get arrested, and incarcerated in Fox River, so that he can get to work on his plan to free ...

...a Christmas Present I got Prison Break season one on DVD, this was a series that I have never even watched before so it got cast aside. Last Sunday I had nothing to do so I started to watch this prison break series. I have to say I am now completely hooked on it and I can't believe that this is something I have missed out on for nearly four years. **** Prison Break **** This is a USA series that has now reached its four year, therefore resulting ...

The best TV show of 2006?

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 ...

Perfect Prison Break

Advantages: superb acting, great story, action packed thrilling suspense ride
Disadvantages: addictive as they come

Prison Break is one of the most clever and creative story lines to ever grace the earth. It follows the lives of 7 convicts who plan to escape from the Fox River prison which is a seemingly impossible task. Very early in we learn that two of the men organising this escape are brothers and one (Lincoln Burrows) is sentenced to death for killing the vice presidents brother. a murder he swears to not have committed. His brother (Michael Scofield) is ...
...The story and plot to prison break is pure amazing. the whole set is very professional and the viewer can almost feel like they are in the scene with the characters. the story is very creative and includes some rather genius ideas. the directors really did succeed when they tried to create an accurate image of a prison life and the corruption found in prison. the whole thing is very realistic.

It would be a felony not to buy this!

Advantages: You cant wait for the next episode
Disadvantages: the dvd has to end sometime :(

...make a good tv show. Prison Break is another show that keeps you on the edge of your seats. Every episode you watch, you just cant wait for the following episode. When i got this Dvd i watched the entire dvd in 1 day,sad i know,but the show is that good. The only disappointing thing about this dvd is, when the dvd finishes :( You may be wondering what the show is all about, well this is just a wee description about it.....

You'll want solitary confinement to watch this!

Advantages: Highly addictive will want to watch one after the other
Disadvantages: Highly addictive will want to watch one after the other

...imagine the aptly titled series prison break is about none other than... a prison break. This cleverly written story focuses on the life of Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), whose brother; Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is conspicuously framed for a murder he did not commit. Wrought with government conspiracy Michael realises that there will not be enough time for Linoln's lawyer (and ex-girlfriend) Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) to go through ...
...aided by various members of prison staff and inmates wanting in on the action. Through the intertwining events that occure within the prison we are introduced to a number of characters all with their own background stories that develop with the plot, which creates a somewhat sympathetic view on the inmates. Ultimately, I can guarantee there is a rivetting twist in each episode that will lead to an addiction to watch episodes back to back to the point ...

Best TV Series Ever...No Seriously it is!!!!

Advantages: Fantastic, best series I've ever seen!
Disadvantages: None whatsoever!!!

...So I started watching Prison Break towards the latter half of this season after I was constantly being badgered by one of my friends to watch it and I'm so glad I did because its the best TV Series I've ever seen and I don't say that lightly either. I've been a fan of and watched alot of american TV series and dramas such as Lost, NCIS, Reaper, ER, House, Bones, Buffy, Friends, Grey's Anatomy, Numb3rs, Ally Macbeal, Frasier.....ok so you get the ...
...that its like the best Prison film you've ever seen crossed with the best US TV Series you have ever seen and the end result is greater than the sum of the parts - its just fantastic! Like I say I missed the first half of this season and have only recently watched it back - I knew it was gonna be good as I've seen right until the end of the second season but my GOD was it good!!!! You must watch this series!!! ...

This has been the best Drama to come out of America ever. The characters are great and you'll be happy for them when good happens and sad when something bad happens.

Sensational and highly addictive series! Love it !

Advantages: Sensational and highly addictive series. Outstanding performances of prison life and the struggle to get out !
Disadvantages: Bit unbelievable - but who cares ?

...in charge of refurbishing the prison several years ago, so he has access to detailed blueprints. He redesigns the plans as an intricate tattoo that covers his entire upper body. He then commits a halfhearted armed robbery, pleads guilty, and has himself shipped off to Fox River. Of course, getting into Fox River is much easier than getting out - he has to navigate not only the prison but winover some nasty characters and get them to work together. ...
...can barely wait for his prison term to end so that he can get back to his girlfriend. John Abruzzi is a cunning mob boss who runs the prison's work program. Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell is a rapist and child murderer. Charles Westmorland may or may not be the famed D.B. Cooper who in 1971 hijacked an airliner before parachuting out over the Pacific Northwest with $200,000.00 in cash. Benjamin "C-Note" Franklin is in jail for transporting stolen goods, ...
