Wow! Prison Break how much more amazing can you get!

Prison break is television genius. A very educated piece of work, prison break is set inside the walls of a prison, but also from the outside and comes to you from the perspective of the cell mates who are planning to break out. However, this season has as many twists and turns as the inside of the prison itself. Amazing well thought out characters who are very different but all have one thing in common. The want and desire to get out! People from all walks of life join together, although they do not all get on, and have very different reasons for getting out, to help the leader and genius Michael Schofield to make this plan work.
This really is a thriller which keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. It is a very psychological piece of work and really makes you think, if you like a film which you put together piece by piece then this is something you will love I guarantee you that! The characters all have something unique about them and each have an asset to add to the escape team. Adrenaline rises as it is a race against time before Michael's brother Lincoln gets the electric chair punishment for a crime he didn't commit - or did he?
A heart wrenching story of love, hate, crime and a race against time all pieces together to make this one of the most amazing stories and piece of film I have ever seen.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and a must see! There is something for everyone!Read full review...

Greatest most imaginative show since 24 began...

Most men would do anything to escape Fox River Penitentairy...Michael Schofield will do anything to get it.

Michael Schofield is a successful, wealthy, very intellectual man with a good honest life and everything going right for him. Except for one thing... his brother Lincoln is imprisoned for the murder of the Vice President's brother and Michael is convinced he is innocent.

Michael gives up everything to get himself deliberatley imprisoned in the same prison and armed with a copy of the prison's blueprints encoded on his body, Michael makes it his mission to get Lincoln out.

To do this, Michael has to ally and agree to work with some of the countries most dangerous criminals and keep his escape plan secret from the rest of the inmates who have it in for him as well as the guards.

Not only this, but on the outside, government officials will stop at nothing to ensure Linclon's execution goes ahead and elimante anyone who is trying to help him. Who can be trusted and who will be safe throughout the first series of Prison Break??

Prison Break is, in my opinion, the best show on television since 24 began. It's masterfully written and keeps you guessing and always leaves you desperate for more. I highly recommend it, you will not be dissapointed.Read full review...

If you haven't seen Prison Break you need educating!!!!

This drama focuses on a prison designer who gets himself thrown into one of his own prisons to help his falsely accused brother escape death row. Described as in the vein of The Great Escape (and also compared to "24" due to its compressed time frame and season-length plotline), the series will unfold over 22 episodes, charting the course of a single break.

The director of the Rush Hour movies, Brett Ratner, executive produces and directed the first hour of this show. Paul Scheuring created this series and wrote its first two episodes. They have constructed a show that is a little bit far-fetched, but interesting. The fact that Michael conveniently goes to the same prison as Lincoln, and that Sara is only mildly inquisitive to Michael’s diabetes problem is a little hard to believe. Also…when are they going to explain why Michael Schofield and Lincoln Burrows have two different last names? Are they half brothers?

The acting is great though. It’s amazing how alike Miller and Purcell look. Maybe it’s the buzz cuts, but I could actually believe that they were real brothers. Set this aside i dare anyone who owns these box sets not to watch them consecutively. I won't spoil this for you as i've seen them all but if you think that as with most series certain seasons are weaker than others 'Prison Break' is an exception to this rule and only improves...you will find yourself counting the days till the next part/season is released.

All in all i highly recommend this season, the 2nd and now 3rd. The best prison drama since Cell Block H!.Read full review...

Prison Break - Season 1

Right firstly i would just like the state that i dont normally watch american tv series mainly because they are normally over rated and not really made for us brits however i watched the first ep of 24 about a year ago and was hooked therfore went out and bought the entire series and took a week off work to watch them all lol, i had heard about prison break and must admit didnt really want to give it the time of day however as soon as i heard it was as good as 24 and all the hype around it i thought i needed to give it ago so i bought it off ebay with the intention of re selling it on should i not like it, as soon as i had watched the first ep i was hooked and couldnt wait for the next installment and found myself losing 5 hours at a time every moment was heart pounding i felt like i was in the prison myself i wont go into too much details as i dont want to spoil it but if you havent watched this series you really are missing a treat it isnt far fetched and it really well thought out and written a must! I cant wait for the 2nd series due to start next week so hurry up and get it bought and watched by the way i aint selling my copy lolRead full review...

Do we really believe it

I hadn't seen this before so I thought I would watch it. The only bad point I have about prison break is it is only half a series. Having to wait to find out what happens is annoying. Some of the storyline seems a little far fetched however I would recommend this product to anyone. Even though I did enjoy the first half of the season it is hard to believe that the secret service are that crap. If they wanted a second rate lawyer and a kid dead they would get it done insteady of messing around like they do. I find it hard to believe there is any plan in drawn into the tattoo's and a reformed mob boss my A? e. What type of person are we to think michael is if he is prepared to release a convicted killers with him, espeicially a paedo rapist. Overall good series, if not hard to believe and michael isn't no heroe.Read full review...

Prison Break (Season 1)

Prison Break is not only a film about breaking out of Prison. All about Michael Scofield who gets caught and taken to Prison just to break out again with his Brother. Easy as that.

The story is about Lincoln Burrows who is framed and wrongfully convicted for assassinating the Vice President's brother.Once inside, Michael must form alliances with a rogue's gallery of felons with their own sometimes unsavory motives. Meanwhile, on the outside, Lincoln's lawyer and one-time girlfriend Veronica Donovan, pursued by Secret Service agents, attempts to unravel the conspiracy that sent her man to the slammer.

This Film in my eyes is Series of the year. Its a must see and you will not want to put it down. Cant wait for the next Season.Read full review...

FANTASTIC PROGRAM!!....but dont buy it just yet!!!

The tension in this series is unbelievable!! I have never known any other series to constantly keep me on the edge of my seat begging for more! If you like cliff-hangers, you will LOVE Prison Break! With more twists than anything and lots of new clever additons to the plot as you go, you cannot help but get hooked!!!
Which brings me to the only problem with this product.....it is only the first 13 episodes of the series!! Nothing could be more frustrating with a program that is full of cliff hangers!!!
My advice:- wait until the second part of the series is out and then save yourself some money by buying it in full. But DEFINATELY buy the series!! You won't regret it!!Read full review...
