Prison Break: Ogygia (2017)
Season 5, Episode 1
5/10
Too quick?
5 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I thought the episode moved too quickly. Too many things happened in a single episode, so much so that at times it felt like a summary of several episodes. The result is that not enough attention was given to character and story development. The original Prison Break's success was partly due to meticulous attention to detail and story line simmering, which was almost ignored in the new opener. Mike did not have to show up in the first episode, yet half way through it was obvious he was going to. There is a naivety and repetitiveness in Mike ending up in prison again, which the series must tackle carefully. Some parts of T-Bone's reintroduction were silly, so much so that at times he came across as stupid. He may be evil, coy and calculating but stupid he is not. Slow down...
