Prison Break Review Summary
"Finally, TV worth watching," say the fans of Prison Break. Airing on Fox, this crime thriller stars Wentworth Miller as an engineer who gets sent to prison to help his brother escape from death row. Reviewers consider "the writing and acting on this show outstanding." Some reviewers still enjoy Prison Break, but feel it's slipping since its first season when it was "gritty and realistic, yet had clever twists." Overall, though, most reviewers are still just as enchanted with this thriller, considering it "the best show on TV" even replacing Law and Order and Lost in their viewing habits. Prison Break "makes you feel like you're watching America's Most Wanted, not a work of fiction."

I have been watching Prisonbreak since the first episode, and my whole family has become addicted to it. The first season was amazing. Every show was gritty and realistic, yet had clever twists. We would try to guess what would happen, but you never really could because they were so risky with the...

I loved Prison Break and am very saddened by the ending of Season 4. No more Prison Break Episodes to come home from work to watch! I can't believe that Michael Skofield dies at the end of the 4th and final season! This to reassure us that there won't be a season 5. Was hoping maybe they'd say it was...

There were times when I was watching the show on dvd with my son that we could not turn it off, It is more like a very long movie than a series.
Each season had a different sort of theme. season 1 - The prison... review »
i had never heard of this show until a few months back when my boyfriend introduced me to it- said there was a show he wanted to get a dvd of- and this was it. I was hessitant at first becasue most prime-time tv shows i don't tend to like- i tend to stick mostly with style shows and the food network- so we bought it and now i love it. we watched season one 4 episodes a night until it was done (this is the only seaseon my bf had seen) and it was awesome. As soon as we got money together, we picked up season 2 - still good! i was more fascinated with the whole prison theme of season 1 though. Now...

I have been watching PB since Season 1. I love it! I have been looking for a show that would keep my attention. Law and Order use to have me as a loyal fan but since they started repeating stories just with different actors, it lost me. I use to watch LOST but that got too confusing and never really revealed much and so I stopped watching. I think PB has the write amount of "secrets" but are revealed throughout the season and just enough drama that it isn't overdone.
The cliffhangers are great. People may criticize because it isn't "realistic". I just say it isn't trying to be, it is was...

Prison Break when it first came on tv, was a really great show. I liked the excitement of all the prisoners involved in trying to escape from the prison. The show had a mixture of mysterious criminal characters and it was exciting to watch them interact in the prison environment. It showed us how bad people in prison are. I always looked forward to see who actually would escape or not. Once out, still exciting to see who will get caught and sent back to prison. Now, its kind of getting ridculous about silla and who has it. I am not interested in the show any longer.
