Prison Break

[Zaelath]

Wierd... I figured there'd be a thread about this I missed (since it's only up to about episode 6 here and finished in the US ages ago, which means I've long since torrented it.) but I can't find one searching.

Anyway, this is sooooo much better than Lost IMHO.

I was a bit dodgy on the idea of a prison break over 13 episodes (and the inevitable series 2) but rather than the snail's pace plot development and promised revelations that don't eventuate in Lost; you have great characters, gripping plot, sub-plot that is clearly tied-in to the story, and masses of actual story development in every episode.

I just hope it doesn't suffer from the same content dilution that seems to have infected Battlestar Galactic in series 2.

I started off hardcore into this series.

Then it started getting unrealistic. Some of the relationships formed, power exchanges between characters, and maneuvers performed by the main character got to me. I held on tight, though. It was still interesting.

But then I noticed that nearly every actor in the show is horrible. So I stopped watching at the season finale and don't plan on watching again!

I watched it. I'll probably keep watching it when it picks back up in a week or two.

I'll pay that on the, "show some skin" episode. There's no reaslistic way I see of him getting back into his bunk while the guard is jiggling keys.

Inside the prison, I think the acting is above par for the unknowns.. and the veterans like Stacy Keech and Peter Stormare are excellent.

Pretty much everyone outside the prison walls does suck, but they're sub-plot so didn't bother me greatly... the lawyer chick needs a sammich too
