My friends ... ...on the planning of the prison break mostly; and michael scolfield and lincon burrows' (michael scolfield's brother) relationship.

...whether or not to buy Prison Break, I had seen few advertisements announcing its arrival in the UK and so never tuned in to watch the pilot and the rest of the series on Channel 5. As a huge fan of Lost and Desperate Housewives and having watched all the released episodes (several times!) I was desperate for something new. I eventually decided to give Prison Break a go and purchased the series one part one DVD. I have to say that from the very first ... ...no more true than in Prison Break. In one episode you go from laughing to crying to excitement to frustration to joy to nervousness to dissapointment to elation. One thing I noticed with Prison Break is that the story is not dragged out as it is in Lost. Every episode is packed with action and details necessary to the plot. Also in each episode of Prison Break there are questions and answers wheras in lost every episode is just packed with questions ...

...The series shows that prison is no easy stay with torture on the cards by inmates and insiders working for those who framed his brother. In order for Michael Scofield's plan to work he needs to play cat and mouse with the prison inmates and this is where problems occur because no matter how planed Michael Scofield is there will always been something missed.

Advantages: Top viewing Disadvantages: 2nd series hasn't started yet!
My husband and I started watching this as he works in London and it had been highly publicised on the tube. Up until this point we had written off channel 5. From the first episode we were gripped. In general we are not big fans of American telly as tend to find it a bit hammy but his series is gritty and although a bit far fetched in places very fast moving with plentyl of edge of the seat moments.
