And so we arrive at the second half of Prison Break's maiden series, with the inmates in something of a predicament. There are no spoilers here, but rest assured that the pace, the energy and the sheer brass that defined the first half are all present and correct here.
What's refreshing about the show, particularly in the current TV climate where series such as Lost always seem to be holding back so that they can eek out another season, is that Prison Break never really loses its momentum, and rarely swerves to avoid what's in its way. Granted, in among the episodes in this boxset you'll find one devoted purely to back story, yet even that proves to have a significant place in the Prison Break world.
Of course, to enjoy the show the same rules apply as they did to the first half of the series. You need to throw ideas of realism towards the window, and you need to accept that each episode will tick off another in the series of prison clichés you were probably expecting when you got going with episode one all that time back. But heck, this is exciting television, featuring genuine cliffhangers, a series of characters you can't help but either root for or hiss and boo at, and a great deal of slick, fast entertainment. --Simon Brew

As the season moves on the episodes just get more exciting, the finale of season one leaves so many unanswered questions you find yourself desperate to know the outcome in season two
Brilliantly acted and written 5*****

This is one of the best tv series i have ever watched. I got hooked after watching the first episode.
Might want to wait for the whole series to come out though.

You don't release a TV show season in two parts
This is a rip-off. Wait until the whole thing is available and buy it then, it will be well worth it as Prison Break is a great show. 5 stars for the show, 1 star to Fox.
