There are very few television shows that leave a lasting impression for me. I do enjoy quite a few though, as you may have figured out by now. But, some start great and then end badly where you feel lost or disappointed. I started watching Prison Break in August and finished the series finale in September. Although its an older show and some of you may have already seen it, I thought I'd share in case someone needed a great show to watch on Netflix that hasn't. All four seasons are ready to view on Netflix and let me tell you, they are intense. If you liked Ocean's Eleven and the sequels, this is a show for you.
Michael Scofield is a structural engineer that attempts to rob a bank to get to prison where his step-brother, Lincoln Burrows is on death row.... for a crime he didn't commit. At first Michael thought he did it, since he was convicted of murdering the brother of the Vice President of the United States, but came around because everything didn't add up. What is Michael's plan, you ask? To break himself and Lincoln out of prison. You will have to wait and see the lengths he goes to and the intricate plan he organizes to make it all happen.
The first season takes place at a prison called Fox River State Penitentiary, located in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois. I remember people talking about the filming of the show years ago, but never wanted to start watching the series in the middle. It was cool to hear of the setting in Oswego, Aurora, and Chicago throughout the show. They were all places I could identify with.
Each season gets more intense and reveals information about the brothers that they didn't even know about themselves. As I stated above, Michael is the Billy Ocean of breaking out of prisons. While Mr. Ocean is breaking into casinos for money, Mr. Scofield is breaking out of prisons for freedom. The brothers stick together and add a few companions along the way to finally grasp freedom with both hands.
Great show! Couldn't get enough.
