Prison Break is a heart pounding thriller that will keep you captivated throughout its entire run. The show is really smartly written where all of the cast and characters are given a chance to shine and they do...the entire cast is terrific! But the standouts are def the two stars of the show...Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell who play brothers Michael and Lincoln almost perfectly! I just recently started watching this show again since I haven't seen it since it was originally on back in 2005 and I can say it still holds up and is just as good as when it was on back then. If you haven't seen this yet then do yourself a favor and watch it as soon as you can.

Edge of your seat thriller!
Rob133129 September 2022
Prison Break is a story about two brothers. One is Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) who's on Death Row for a crime he didn't commit. His genius brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) holds up a bank to get himself out in jail with his brother. He has a plan to break them out, and a host of other interesting characters. Once out it's not over as they have to evade capture as they try to take down a political conspiracy. It's a heart pounding thriller that will keep you captivated throughout its entire run. The show is really smartly written where all of the cast and characters are given a chance to shine and they do...the entire cast is terrific! The first season is obviously the best but the others are still very well done and definitely worth watching. Don't miss this show!
For Me - The Most Addictive TV Show Ever!
Amyth475 December 2018
My Rating: 9/10
Watching 'Prison Break' is the most addictive TV experience I've ever had, even more so than Game Of Thrones or Breaking Bad - Lost definitely came close but still Prison Break blows everything out of the water.
Truly, the showrunners have done an outstanding job creating and executing this series. This is one of the few shows whose every season is great and is consistent in quality. I truly cared for all the characters in the show, even the bad guys.
I have yet to come across a TV show which is this engaging and this addictive. Please, please let me know if there is anything out there which matches Prison Break. This is the show I judge other shows by and in certain ways nothing has ever come close...yet.

My favorite TV-Series ever
S1 is the best season I've ever watched in my life
S2 is Amazing, Alex Mahone was definitely the star of the season
S3 is really Underrated, yeah maybe it wasn't necessary and they could've ended the story earlier but that doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable
S4 is probably my least favorite season in the series
And I like to think of S5 as an additional mini-season

Prison Break is one of the best new series. It's got personality, style, thrills and action. Michael Scofield robs a bank only to be caught and jailed. With him behind the bars he brings a plan to get himself and his brother, who is sentenced to death, out. What few people knows is that Michael is the architect of the prison and so he knows his way around.
The characters are really good. You really get to know them, but just so good that they're still unpredictable. You get to know some of their history and what kind of person they are. The actors does a great job in portraying these characters. I've only seen Dominic Purcell in John Doe, a performance I didn't find that good. However, in Prison Break his potential in shown. He portrays Lincoln Burrows very good. Wentworth Miller also does a great job as Lincoln's brother, Michael Scofield.
The story may seem a little incredible and some facts may be wrong, but never the less it's made quite believable. You believe the locations and the characters and how they behave and react. The story is well written and detailed and it all seems possible. They've managed to give this series kind of it's own style and personality. The basic idea of escaping a prison is old and so you might not wanna call this show original. On the other hand you don't know what else to call it. It is a new twist to an old idea (and a good one I might add) and it is not filled with clichés. It gives a realistic image of what could very well be. At the same time you got the old hero who's out to save the innocent. Yet, Michael is not treated like a hero. He leans more towards being a anti-hero.
The cinematography is great. This is one of those series with it's own unique look. The mood, style and action is well captured in really good looking shots followed by really nice music.
If you should start to watch one new series this year, it should be Prison Break.

Prison Break is Awesome
ToddlerChaser019 May 2006
I have really enjoyed watching Prison Break. This show is Adventureous, Romantic, and a little humor all in one. I do not have many favorite shows, but this one goes right at the top of my list. I am hoping Prison Break will continue airing for quite awhile. Monday nights are always exciting, just waiting to see what comes next, has me on the edge of my seat. The actors and actresses are awesome to watch. The series also has great writers. So I tip my hat to those hard workers that make this show one of the best shows on T.V. Keep up the good work guys and remember you have so many fans that love what you are doing. As I said before, Keep up the good work!!
Top notch

It should have ended with Season 2
kosmasp25 December 2013
If I were to rate the seasons individually, the first two seasons would have gotten a much higher rating. I really liked those, the suspense was held high, there was something at stake there. It really loses its grip (on almost everything) with the end of season 2, to make way for the third season. While watching Season 3, I realized this was more or less a rehash of the first season (though not as good). Still compared to what they went and did in Season 4 ... Season 3 seems like Shakespeare compared to it.
Season 4 goes completely Telenovela on the viewer and while it could have been even more ridiculous, it was enough to almost make me rate the whole thing a 6 instead of a 7. But back to the good things. Season 1 and 2, with great characters and while still some peculiar coincidences, it was really suspenseful and did hold its own. You had some surprises but you also had some things to look forward too. The misdirections worked (the ones you spot and the ones you missed) and the acting was more than decent enough.
Talking about acting, one particular character (a bad/psychotic one) seems to be a favorite. Especially with the ladies and it's not purely for his looks (no offense). Which made me wonder, especially considering the crimes that character committed, why some people were rooting for him. But that's just me I guess, the actor playing him, does a great job and later in the show there is a female "counterpart" (sort of).
The show also got nominated for its score (and might have won a few awards) and rightfully so. The theme is really good and sets the tone. Even the advertising break interlude has a nice touch (of course watching it on Disc, you can avoid those). Everyone was making a big deal that this was a network show and not cable. So there is some violence and a bit of cursing, but not as much (and no nudity) as in other shows. But that was never a problem (at least not for my viewing pleasure).
If you can stop at/after Season 2, you might do yourself a big favor.
EDIT: Onto Season 5 then ... and as I predicted 6 years ago or so, became reality. Someone even has a season 6 locked in ... ah well. The latter might not happen, no matter how much quite a lot of fans want this to become reality. And I'm almost surprised no one has "rated" my review yet. Then again, there are over 700 - so there is that. But back to the "final" (?) season, which picks things up where we left them, but is way better than season 4 - ok that is not really difficult to achieve.
Some things get negated and others (prison sentences) get "explained". Also, who cares about "logic", yes? Not a real hardcore fan of the show - they will not. So switch your mind off and try to enjoy this romp as much as possible. Luck and everything included - it flows almost exactly like you expect it to. With all the necessary/expected story beats. Nothing much should surprise you here ...

Fantastic New Show on Fox
Eagles40930 August 2005
I wasn't sure how this show was going to be, it didn't look that interesting to me. I thought it looked more like a made for TV movie than an actual series. I decided to give it a chance and watched the premier last night. Let me just say that I'm addicted to the show after the 2 hour premier. This show was great, the acting, the characters, the setting, everything was done top notch. The show is filmed in and around Chicago, the prison they use for the setting was just closed a couple of years ago, it gives it a very authentic look. If you thought like I did(how can you make an entire series out of one prison break?), give it a try, you won't be disappointed. Besides, Fox made an entire season out of a 24 hour period.
I was surprised
fairydun6 October 2005
After seeing the commercial I did not strike me as something I wanted to see, but My husband convinced me to sit down and watch the pilot. OH MY GOD, I was so surprised. After seeing that one episode I am hooked. On Monday nights no one in my house can make a sound while Prison Break is on. We absolutely love it, you immediately love the brothers and want them to succeed. You feel that their failure would be your failure, you want to cry with them, laugh with them.. I hope this show stays around for a while. I know that I would never miss an episode. Any one who has not started watching this show, do so now, you will not regret it in the least. You will fall in love with Wentworth Miller, he is a gem.
Phenomenal series. But not perfect.
Lukasmj13 November 2022
Lincoln Burrows, sits in jail and is on his way to experience the death penalty in the near future, because of a murder he is accused of.
But Lincoln swears he is not guilty.
His brother Michael, is convinced of his brother's innocence, which is why he intentionally wents to jail, with the plan to break out again, with his brother.
Prison Break is a good series. Michael Scofield's character in particular is incredibly well written and Wentworth Miller portrays that character phenomenally too.
Unfortunately, at some point the series felt like an almost empty toothpaste tube from which you squeeze the last little bit out with all your might...
But still a 9 from me, because the series kept me entertained for days.

can't believe how great it is
hannanehstm31 July 2022
This tv show have been played on our Tv since I was a kid . I had never watched maybe some scenes , It was kinda not my type
but then I decided to give it a try after years and now
I can just say WOW
compared to nowadays tvshows , it is a masterpiece
I had heard it was perfect but never had believed it.
Masterclass !!!!
shashankpatel-3736930 December 2019
A perfectly plotted series showing turn after turn and greatly it's almost unpredictable. Acting of every character is mind blowing. Detailed execution, covering the next move, thinking beyond imagination of the writers, made it one of the best ever atleast for me. Just one drawback was that after 3rd series it seem little stratched somewhere. Rest all, high five.
One could have never thought that you could make a show about breaking out of jail so entertaining, or could one?
buck-11121 February 2007
Prison Break is now on its third successful season and shows no sign of this wonderful drama ending. Prison Break has everything from petty crooks to government conspiracy to crooked cops. One could have never thought that you could make a show about breaking out of jail so entertaining, or could one? This show reminds me a lot of the ShawShank Redemption. I wonder if that movie inspired the writers at all? Even though they could have been inspired, this show is definitely unique. It all starts because Linc (Dominic Purcell) was falsely accused of killing the vice presidents brother, and is now sitting on death row. Linc's brother Michael (Wentworth Miller) robbed a bank so he could land himself in prison to help break his brother out. To do this Michael has the blueprints of his escape secretly tattooed all over his body.
Now Michael has some pretty good luck, what are the odds that he was sent to the same prison that his older brother is at? I would have to agree with Gillian Flynn from Entertainment Weekly When he states, "Let's pause, laugh, and salute this series for being so well shot and acted that these little dragonflies of illogic buzz us only briefly. (But seriously, how lucky for Michael that he was sent to this particular prison otherwise we'd be watching him in Leavenworth hitting his head and muttering ''Stupidstupidstupid!'' for five years.)" It is very convenient that he helped design this particular prison. What would he have done if his brother got transferred or if Michael was sent to a different prison, I bet he would have felt pretty stupid. I am also very impressed that not only does his full body tattoo look good, but it is a map of their escape. Another pretty amazing thing is that he can actually remember what everything means. I don't know about you but I think I might get some things mixed up.
Putting aside the unlikely elements of this entire show, it is actually rather entertaining. It is very suspenseful and you never know what is going to happen next. Also people can somewhat relate with this show seeing how it is not exactly science fiction. Everybody knows that there are innocent people that are sent to prison, and even put on death row just like Linc in this show. So except for the "government conspiracy" for some people this show might hit at home, making it very entertaining.
The acting in this show is done very well. I have not once said to myself wow he sucked. From the main characters all the way to the extras the acting has been superb especially on Michaels part. I think his best acting episode had to of been when he was pretending to be insane. I could have sworn that he was not faking his mental illness. Another character that stands out in my head that is a very good actor is Haywire. If I did not know better I would honestly believe that he was mentally insane. He plays this part perfectly and makes his scenes very entertaining.
The graphics and the special effects in this show are not bad as well. From Michael being burned to Linc getting in the accident, it all looked pretty real. I never saw anything that looked really fake. I did see some things that were rather unlikely though. Like when T-Bag got his hand cut off and sewed back on. He was about to get caught so he ripped his hand off to get away. To me I think I might have passed out or at least have to go to a hospital afterwards, which he never did. He just put a fake hand on his arm like it was not going to get infected. Now even though this is a little for fetched it does make this wonderful drama a lot more exciting.
One thing I noticed when I was watching this show is that there is no narrator. There is nobody telling you anything about the show. I think that this makes the show more exciting. It is like it adds more suspense to it. When you have a narrator he/she tells you wants going on and what to think. Two examples of dramas like this are Grey's Anatomy and Desperate House Wives. When you do not have one you have to think for yourself. Therefore your mind is racing with ideas of what is going to happen next.
Even though this show has a few things that are very unlikely to happen, it has a lot of things that are very likely to happen. It has a lot of good qualities to it. It has good acting, graphics, and special effects. It has all the elements of a very entertaining television drama. I would have to say that this is a very good show and that I will continue to watch it.

jasonandchristine200230 August 2005
what an awesome show! for the first time since 24, a show has lived up to its hype! the entire plot, actors, everything was great.
i know some people will bash anything, but not this. this was awesome.
i cant wait until next Monday.
the scene where Michael took off his shirt to reveal his tattoos, had my entire living room jumping.
my phone was ringing off the hook because everyone i told to watch was doing so, and was reacting the way i did.
if the rest of the season is just 10% of the first night, it will be better than advertised!
fox hit a home run right out of the ballpark with this show. finally a show that is in the same class as 24!

Prison Break Season 2 DVD the best!
ivo-cobra810 October 2012
Prison Break is the best best TV show on earth. Season 1 - 3 I have been watching over and over again. As you know I am a big fan of Prison Break! & and Season 1 - 3 were at it's best! I am in love with that show it is still the best one at it is. We are 2012 now three years ago Prison Break end it and i still adore it and love it so much. My favorite best Season is the Second Season of the show. I still don't know why some fans are criticizing saying that is not as good as The First and the Third Season? I don't get it, i think i have different taste than other people have. Season 2 is the best one and awesome ever it really is. I have Season 2 & 3 on DVD complete original DVD's all are original i really worked hard to get them. Story's: Season 1: Most men would do anything to get out of Fox River Penitentiary, but Michael Scofield will do anything to get in. His brother Lincoln has been sentenced to die for a crime he did not commit, and the only way to save him is from the inside out. Armed with prison blueprints and an impossibly intricate escape plan, Michael gets himself incarcerated, and the race against time is on. Now, he'll need all of the cunning, daring, and luck he can muster... along with the assistance of some of the prison's most vile and dangerous felons... - The story revolves around two brothers: one who has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit and his younger sibling, a genius who devises an elaborate plan to help him escape prison. The brothers, along with six other prisoners at Fox River State Penitentiary, manage to escape at the end of season 1. In Season 1 i love episodes the most: Go, Pilot, Riots, Drills and the Devil (Part 2), English, Fitz or Percy, Cute Poison. Season One was good intense drama but just too much Drama for me i expect more.
Season 2: Is about escaping and been on the run behind the walls. The Second Season begins with the manhunt of the fugitives "Fox River Eight". Eight hours after escaping from Fox River state hires FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone who is assigned to lead the pursuit of the escapees he has specialized himself to hunt fugitives. Portrayed by one and only awesome William Fichtner he was so amazingly awesome and the best nemesis of Michael ever.The Second season follows a massive manhunt chasing the group. Dubbed the Fox River Eight, the group splits and members go their individual way, occasionally meeting up to help each other. They struggle to escape from the police while avoiding a secret group of multinationals called The Company, that wants them all dead.The most of characters i love and idolize are ( The Fox River Eight are: Michael Scofield,Lincoln Burrows and Benjamin Miles C- Note Franklin. Others not escapees are Dr.Sara Tancredi, C.O. Captain Officer Brad Bellick and FBI Special Agent Alexander "Alex" Mahone. I loved Lincoln how he sacrificed everything for saving his son LJ and Michael he sacrificed everything to save his brother Lincoln,Sara and Sucre. I love how Sara was fighting after she commit suicide at the end of the first season but she survived. Her relationship with her estranged father got better they become close than in season 1 were, but her father was murdered by the company when he found out that Linncoln Burrows was really innocent they tried to kill her but failed, she skipped bail and she had to run for her life.She meet with Michael in Episode 10 Rendezvous. Brad Bellick portrayed by awesome and amazing Wade Williams was fired in Episode 2 Otis along with Stacy Keach Warden Henry Pope he was in 3.episodes in Season 2. Brad Bellick's life was over when he was fired but instead he decide to get revenge on the escapees. With his C.O. co worker Roy Geary he come after 2 escapees and he catch Michael Scofield and his brother Lincoln with Nika. He tried to collect Westmorland's money in Utah but he got tricked by Nika and captured by the brothers. Later he tracked down T - Bag with his partner for Westmorland's money but he got tricked and betrayed by Roy Geary and than framed for a murder of Fomer C.O. Roy Geary which he did not committed.25 to life sentence in Fox River state by T - Bag Bagwell Episode 14 John Doe he was so awesome, but Mahone gave him a deal in Episode 16 Chicago so that he could track down and find other escapees, he come out of the prison and all chargers against him was drooped. He later capture Haywire, Sucre and Michael but got framed by Bagwell for a murder again and was imprisoned in Sona. Benjamin Miles C- Note Franklin was million times better in second season than in the first Season was. He never was caught and all he thought was his family. He was a soul and heart in this season, i loved him so much specially in Episode 16 Chicago and Episode 20 Panama. Portrayed by one and only Rockmond Dunbar.Season 2 is the far best, best one ever in the show. Season 1 was too much intense drama and less action on it. Season 2 was action explosion it blows the third season ever. My favorite best episodes are : Sona,Manhunt,Otis, Fin Del Camino,First Down,Subdivision,Buried,Dead Fall,Rendezvous,The Killing Box - the best episode ever",John Doe,The Message,Bad Blood,Wash,Sweet Caroline and Panama. I am little disappointed about the fans complaining on Prison Break. They said that Sona was the worst episode ever? They were all wrong.How did Bill Kim and Sara find the boat? That is Prison Break people everything is possible!!!!!
Season 2: Is about escaping and been on the run behind the walls. The Second Season begins with the manhunt of the fugitives "Fox River Eight". Eight hours after escaping from Fox River state hires FBI Special Agent Alexander Mahone who is assigned to lead the pursuit of the escapees he has specialized himself to hunt fugitives. Portrayed by one and only awesome William Fichtner he was so amazingly awesome and the best nemesis of Michael ever.The Second season follows a massive manhunt chasing the group. Dubbed the Fox River Eight, the group splits and members go their individual way, occasionally meeting up to help each other. They struggle to escape from the police while avoiding a secret group of multinationals called The Company, that wants them all dead.The most of characters i love and idolize are ( The Fox River Eight are: Michael Scofield,Lincoln Burrows and Benjamin Miles C- Note Franklin. Others not escapees are Dr.Sara Tancredi, C.O. Captain Officer Brad Bellick and FBI Special Agent Alexander "Alex" Mahone. I loved Lincoln how he sacrificed everything for saving his son LJ and Michael he sacrificed everything to save his brother Lincoln,Sara and Sucre. I love how Sara was fighting after she commit suicide at the end of the first season but she survived. Her relationship with her estranged father got better they become close than in season 1 were, but her father was murdered by the company when he found out that Linncoln Burrows was really innocent they tried to kill her but failed, she skipped bail and she had to run for her life.She meet with Michael in Episode 10 Rendezvous. Brad Bellick portrayed by awesome and amazing Wade Williams was fired in Episode 2 Otis along with Stacy Keach Warden Henry Pope he was in 3.episodes in Season 2. Brad Bellick's life was over when he was fired but instead he decide to get revenge on the escapees. With his C.O. co worker Roy Geary he come after 2 escapees and he catch Michael Scofield and his brother Lincoln with Nika. He tried to collect Westmorland's money in Utah but he got tricked by Nika and captured by the brothers. Later he tracked down T - Bag with his partner for Westmorland's money but he got tricked and betrayed by Roy Geary and than framed for a murder of Fomer C.O. Roy Geary which he did not committed.25 to life sentence in Fox River state by T - Bag Bagwell Episode 14 John Doe he was so awesome, but Mahone gave him a deal in Episode 16 Chicago so that he could track down and find other escapees, he come out of the prison and all chargers against him was drooped.

Lost the Plot in Series 3
mail-460126 January 2008
This show has lost the plot that Lost.
Series 1 was great entertainment & series 2 was good too.
Series 3 on the other hand is a shadow of the other series. While the acting was never very good at least the plots if unrealistic keep you guessing. In series all the flaws of the first two series are exposed badly - acting is shockingly bad, plot is non-existent, Soma was supposed to be hell on earth but look like day spa. If someone is getting paid to write series 3 they can stay on strike! Series 3 has all the look of blatant attempt to cut costs & squeeze some more money out of what started as good idea.
I gave up half way through series as not worthy of my time any more.

Changed my life

Prison Break changed my life in the best possible way. Season 1 gave me hell of a ride. I love Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and he is so calm, intelligent.
Nothing but love!
Watch the first episode of season 1 and I promise you'll have the time of your life

Prison Break is an American television series that premiered on Fox in 2005. The show follows Michael Scofield, an engineer who devises an elaborate plan to help his brother Lincoln Burrows, who has been falsely convicted of murder and sentenced to death, escape from the Fox River State Penitentiary. The series explores themes of brotherhood, loyalty, and sacrifice as Michael navigates a dangerous and corrupt prison system to save his brother.
The series features strong performances from its lead actors, particularly Wentworth Miller as Michael Scofield and Dominic Purcell as Lincoln Burrows, who deliver powerful and nuanced portrayals of the brothers. The writing is also noteworthy, with well-crafted and intense storylines that keep the audience engaged and invested in the characters. The show's use of plot twists and turns also keeps the audience guessing and on the edge of their seats.
One of the criticisms that could be made about the series is that the pacing can be uneven, and some of the plot twists and turns may feel contrived. Additionally, the series' later seasons may not be as strong as the first season.
Overall, I would recommend Prison Break for fans of action-drama series and those looking for a show that explores themes of brotherhood, loyalty, and sacrifice. The show's strong performances, intense.
