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
Synopsis
Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is an inmate on death-row for the killing of the brother of the Vice President of the United States, a murder he vows he did not commit but only his brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) believes him. Michael takes the extreme action of getting himself arrested. With the blueprints of the jail disguised in a tattoo that encompasses his body, Michael attempts to create a support network in prison that will allow his brother and himself to escape. Fellow prisoners looking to escape and willing to help Michael and his brother include ex mob boss Abruzzi, C-Note, Sucre and T-Bag. Despite having bonded with prison governor Pope (Stacey Keach), Michael has attracted the suspicions of the menacing Captain Bellick (Wade Williams). Meanwhile, on the outside the brothers' childhood friend and lawyer Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney) works to uncover the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. PRISON BREAK SEASON 1 PART 1 ended on the eve of the group's escape attempt with their plans beginning to disintegrate and the second part of the season details the result of the group's attempt to break free. PRISON BREAK first aired in 2005 and quickly became hugely successful around the world thanks to the tension filled, beat-the-clock storyline and cunning plot twists, making it an intriguing combination of the prison drama OZ and the real-time secret service drama 24. Features episodes 14-22 of the first season.
