Riveting 
2008-06-27
So when this program started back in 2005, I was into it, but sort of was in the state of mind where I could have forgotten to watch an episode and wouldn't have bothered catching up. You know, dangerous TV-watching ground. But last year, I decided after watching the first season (and thinking it was good but not great) that I would buy the first season and watch it all at once. Since I missed season 2 on television, I decided that once I'd watched all of season 1, I'd buy season 2 and jump right in.
Which is exactly what I did.
And I freakin' LOVED it!!
It's been a year, but in those 4 and a bit weeks (where I watched one episode every weeknight), I was so glued to my TV set that I would tap my fingers watching the clock at 4:49pm, waiting to get home so I could watch the next episode. I suppose in such a tempting situation I'm lucky I didn't just ruin it and watch it all in one gigantic go.
What you have here is the epitome of excellent television. It seriously rivals the first season of 24. Michael and Lincoln's escape from the law is fast paced, and every episode ends on a cliffhanger.
One of the things I loved about this season was that everybody kept dying. Well, not just that. Everything kept changing. Main characters were offed. Their locations were different in every episode. New characters popped in and out (including a particularly psychotic detective hot on their trail who isn't out to re-capture them, but to clearly - and sometimes quite successfuly - kill them all). The 2 dimensional characters who were merely misguided inmates in the first season were suddenly morphed into desperate, frightened people with hearts and loves, who only wanted their right to freedom. Take C-Note for instance (his storyline in particular intrigued me).
And Sarah... well, she went from monotonous prison doctor to Sydney Bristow in the blink of an eye. Sarah Tencredi was the one character who held my attention the most throughout the series, I just couldn't believe what she did/went through to survive. But that's another story.
The last episode of season 2, though, is a little bit of a let-down personally, but it sets things up for season 3, which I haven't seen yet.

Gave this as a gift and the "kids" have watched it so much they have the lines memorized. If you are into the series, this is a must.

Just too addicting 
2008-07-24
Prison Break is the story of how one brother is framed for a murder, and the other brother gets himself thrown in prison to better be able to break out his brother. At the end of season 1, they succeed. Season 2 is all about being on the run from the law.
It is not as good as season 1, because it not nearly as well planned. The nice thing about Prison Break (as opposed to a show like Lost) is that each season concludes with a decent ending. Season 1 ended with a successful break out. Season 2 has a satisfying ending, but the lead in to Season 3 was just too much.
Prison Break, like 24, is one of those mystery shows that hook you into the DVDs much like I envision crack addicts are addicted. I know intellectually it's not good to watch 7 episodes in a row, but I do it anyway.
Also, a word of caution - Prison Break is pretty dark. Lots of people die, and some of the people they broke out with are pretty grisly characters. The show does have great characters, great plot twists (though they get more unbelievable the longer they go) and is generally an engaging show. But I give it only three stars because I hate being hooked into an episode like that. Not good for anyone.

You won't be disapponted, great plot, great action, great acting. Superb suspense. This show is So addictive!!!.. Definetely a must see for good television series fans. I was resilient to watch it because of the jail story, thought it was going to be depressive...how mistaken I was, now I can't get enough... Please hurry with the release of season 4!!!! ...it's so hard to stop watching one episode after another, it makes your heart beat so fast!! be cautious if you have a heart condition...it is so intriguing and exciting. But you must watch every episode of the series from episode 1 ... keep in mind that all episodes are important.

What a cracker. This is to television what drugs are to an addict. My wife and I were riveted from the off. This was a piece where character development was steady, story line ebbed and flowed, suspense was maintained and the high standard from series one was actually exceeded. When series 1 ended, the question that sprung to mind was 'Prison's broken, police on your heels, c'mon get real?'. The ensuing hunt, the introduction of new equally flawed characters (on both sides of the legal spectrum) and and the puzzle that is Michael Schofield (and his tattoos) made this more unmissable than series 1. Do yourself a favour, take out the popcorn, sit yourself down and enjoy.

Season 2 of Prison Break was just as exciting and brilliant as the first, but the cool thing is that it was a totally different setting. You never know where this show is going to go. They are not afraid to kill off characters, it is never predictable. Can't wait for season 3!
Constant action! 2008-07-02
Better than season 1! The story and characters are already introduced, so season 2 jumps straight into the story and never stops. A definite recommendation to buy and watch over and over.
