Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Season one of Prison Break is great television. Here's the set-up. Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is framed and wrongfully convicted for assassinating the Vice President's brother. Lincoln's brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who just happens to have designed Illinois' Fox River Penitentiary where Lincoln is on death row, hatches an elaborate escape plan. Michael's plan involves getting himself incarcerated in Fox River and smuggling the prison's blueprints by having them hidden in tattoos that cover his entire torso. Once inside, Michael must form alliances with a rogue's gallery of felons with their own sometimes unsavory motives. Meanwhile, on the outside, Lincoln's lawyer and one-time girlfriend Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney), pursued by Secret Service agents, attempts to unravel the conspiracy that sent her man to the slammer.
Prison Break is anchored by tight, suspenseful writing clearly relished by the largely little-known cast. Standouts include Robert Knepper as the murderer/pedophile T-Bag, who somehow makes such a despicable character likeable. Stacey Keach of Mike Hammer fame plays the warden-with-a-heart-of-gold, who clashes with Captain Brad Bellick (Wade Williams) over whether to rehabilitate the inmates or makes their lives more miserable. Peter Stormare, famous for his skills with a wood chipper in Fargo, turns in a deliciously menacing performance as mob boss John Abruzzi, while Amaury Nolasco's winsome Fernando Sucre shares a cell and secrets with Miller's Scofield. Watching the show one gets a sense that this is the opening salvo of Wentworth Miller's career, which will doubtless include roles as assassins, detectives, super heroes, and perhaps the champion of staring contests. Midway through the season it's explained that Scofield is a genius with an heightened sensitivity to other peoples' suffering, which sums up what makes the show so great--the mind-bendingly intricate plot is a framework for moments when people make others suffer and cope with the burden of their own suffering.
The six-disc set includes 22 addictive episodes, audio commentary on selected episodes, three featurettes, and alternate and deleted scenes. As with most TV shows on DVD, the "previously on Prison Break" intros can get tiresome, but that's what the fast forward button is for. --Ryan Boudinot

Description:
Fox's Breakout Hit of the 2005-2006 Season!
Most men would do anything to get out of Fox River Penitentiary, but Michael Scofield will do anything to get in. His brother Lincoln has been sentenced to die for a crime he did not commit, and the only way to save him is from the inside out. Armed with prison blueprints and an impossibly intricate escape plan, Michael gets himself incarcerated, and the race against time is on. Now, he'll need all of the cunning, daring, and luck he can muster…along with the assistance of some of the prison's most vile and dangerous felons.

This is a great new series with exciting twists and turns, a great plot, some mind-blowing episodes, and the highlight, truly fabulous characters played by even better actors! This show prides itself on it's excellence in acting. People like Peter Stormare ("John Abruzzi") and Robert Knepper ("T-Bag") are pure genius here. All their scenes together, in my opinion, are the best. However, the overall story of Michael Scofield breaking his brother, Lincoln Burrows, out of jail is a bit ridiculous (but ... Read More

This show is absolutely awesome. Very suspenseful with great writing and acting. I just don't know how they are going to sustain it for the coming years! I highly recommend this show to anyone who is looking for a great show to watch during the summer when nothing good is on. Now I just have to finish season 2 and 3 before September!

It's well done. The acting and production quality is good. What made me give it only 2 stars is the impossibility of what happens with almost every twist and turn in a plot that zig zags till it makes you dizzy . Its the script writing. It's written to be in the same genre as "24" but not as good. (I have problems with "24s" impossibility as well but I've known people to think that what happens in 24 is possible!) It's like the writers have consumed buckets of Red Bulls and Starbucks coffee and perhaps ... Read More

I am not one to watch things like this normally, but once I started watching it I couldn't stop. This TV show has an amazing plot that is full of adventure and and action, but also has intellect. Prison Break is much like the movie The Shawshank Redemption. The actors are great, the story is great and you get completely sucked in. I would recommend this to anyone who likes an intelligent TV show.
