What do you think of the show Prison Break?

[Turkish]

Any good? I may start watching it, been getting quite a few people recommending it.

Well, you are a bit late since tonight is the season finale.

Great show though, always ends on a cliffhanger that makes you await the next one eagerly.

 

[Firsttime]

It's my favorite show on TV right now.

I have been watching since it first aired. It is worth watching, I would say.

I don't know if anything can top LOST's cliffhanger from season 1.

 

[jdub1107]

Utter crap, imo. I watched several episodes when it first started. I like the plot, but the acting is terrible.

 

[Linflas]

Never seen it...

awesome.. counting down the hours till the finale tonight.. it feels like its just gonna be a 1 season series though

 

[Accipiter22]

completely unbelievable...it does nothing towards the suspension of disbelief. Basically the things that happen are SO implausible that you realize you're watching a poorly thought out production. It's impossible to get into for this reason, unless you'll swallow whatever tripe some hollywood producer will throw down your throat, using his wang as a shovel. Needless to say, 90% of ATOT loves it

I bet that tonight they will find another reason for why they cannot leave, and they will go back to prison only to figure out that Michael's brother is allowed to live a bit longer for some reason, thus giving them more time to plan another escape with various complications.

I know I am a little late, but my friend has it on Tivo...

I guess the general consensus is that I should watch it. Thanks

They are never going to escape

Are you describing 24 or Prison Break? Because that above comment would fit perfectly if I were asked to describe 24.

The reason prison break works is because ultimately the characters are what is importantm, and it never takes itself too seriously so you don't really need to worry about how realistic it is. Even though there was lots of pointless and preposterous crap throughout the season, at least I feel like I know the characters more now than I did at the beginning of the season. Even when a character turns into a bad guy, you get plenty of advanced notice and clues.

This is the exact opposite approach from what 24 takes. 24 shows you characters and then arbirtrarily wipes out everything you knew about the characters whenever it feels like it even though the "twist" is totally inconcistent with the character itself. At the end of the season I feel like I just wasted 23 hours watching a character who was nothing like the character in the 24th hour.

they already made it over the wall, now it will be some sort of fugitive type show with them on the run trying to prove Linc's innocence. Will Micheal give up Fibbinocci? Will Sucre get back with Maricruz? I think the plan is to get the money and head down to Mexico.

I disagree, I can suspend disbelief with '24' more than I can with 'Prison break'. The subplots in 'Prison break' are utter crap and once the prison break happens the show will tank.

Do you watch 24? I'd say 24 is even more out there then prison break.

Not the first three seasons.

The reason I can't suspend disbelief in 24 is because in 24 it's not only technical issues that require it, but also major character flip flops.

Is tonights show 2 hours?
