So I’m coming towards the end of season 2 of Prison Break and I’m finding it a story I just can’t break away from. I Heard before I started watching that when it came to the second season it just gets boring because they spend 22 episodes running-yet I found myself thinking the complete opposite, I found the constant running and change in narrative a thrilling viewing experience that kept pulling at me to watch more because I just didn’t know how different the next episode would be from the previous.
Starting with the first series I found that as the story progressed so did my interest due to digging out more information on each character , which was done by the vital and very well done emotional attachment created with the characters, with a minimal and flashback style entry into the characters life you find working them out a mystery, you may find yourself hating them-then bam, one episode your given a key price of information which just completely changes your perspective on the character-I found this when I began to hate the character of “C-Note” he started as a leading group thug helping Michael obtain medicine yet as the story moves on you find out he was wrongly discharged from service for fighting the system, and that his life revolves around his daughter and wife.
Because of this you find the group formed to escape the Fox river prison almost as a type of a-team , rogue fighters fighting for what they want the most , family ,love, a wantedness of a woman’s love in the case of ‘T-Bag’ (who is a very hard character to like) but that’s what’s exactly perfect about prison break-they mix the good and the bad in a group of freedom fighters making it hard to pick favourites so instead you favour convicts as a whole over the law.
I’m going to end this short talk but there will be more to my Prison Break views because I have so much to talk about , do instead of throwing it all in at once I’ll split it into parts.
My Prison Break rating so far 8.5/10
Happy Reading.
