there is a story or plot involved beyond a prison break. The prison break aside, there is mystery and suspense about Lincoln's being arrest and imprisonment.Ģ. while there is SOME violence, there is not a lot of blood and gore. This is unlike the 24 series where the main character demonstrated a level of vi olence (especially early in Season 1 and throughout the final season) that became intolerable (had it not been the final season I would have stopped watching the series). I do not care for the fact that Lincoln is suppose to be on Death Row but appears to have a lot of contact with the general prison population instead of being isolated.
Read full reviewĪn Innovative, Original drama! Best show on Television! This is more unrealistic than Michael and the gang continuously escaping getting caught (which I expect when watching these type of shows).Īs a result of watching the first 2/3 of Season 1, I have decided to order Season 2. This show is absolutely the best show on Television! Fans of 24, will love this show every episode is a cliff hanger.I often wonder how the writer could ever think of so many twist and turns. The story follows the character of Michael, (played by Wentworth Miller) who infiltrates himself into the prison where his brother, Lincoln is on deathrow and scheduled for immediate execution. The whole first season is not only about these two main characters but also about the people they incorporate into their inner circle. The characters are so real, and the camera shots are off the hook. It is amazing how the camera catches the light reflecting in Wentworth's eyes or how the shots are so close that you can feel every obstacle the character is facing.
