DVD Reviews of Prison Break: Season TwoDVD Review: Terrific...Not As Good as Season 1, But Suspenceful, Entertaining, and Ingenius Summary: 5 Stars
The first season of "Prison Break" was amazing and it solidified it as one of the best new shows on network television. When it ended, with the escape of 8 of the convicts; I wondered how they would keep the show going. Well, they did it...The 2nd season is different from season 1 in scenery and in story. And, I'm going to get this out of the way right now, it's not quite as good as season 1. The first season was smart, suspenseful, and entertaining. Season 2 is suspenseful and entertaining...But not a single episode on here captured the heart-pounding 2nd to last episode of season 1. Still, viewing all these episodes a 2nd time (I watched them all while they were airing); It's still an amazing show. When the show begins; Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and his brother Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) have successfully broken out of Fox River. Along with them are John Abruzzi (Peter Stormare), Fernando Sucre (Amaury Nolasco),
David "Tweener" Apolskiss (Lane Garrison, who's had a recent run-in with the law himself), Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell (Robert Knepper), Benjamin "C-Note" Miles Franklin, and Haywire. With the entire world knowing their faces, they "Fox River 8" begin running...With new character, F.B.I. man Alexander Mahone (William Fichtner) guessing their every move. This season develops the relationship between Michael and Sara, the doctor who aided the cons in their escape, and also makes you feel more for the characters. One amazing aspect of this show is that you actually like the characters and want them to succeed despite their wrongdoings. The best example I have of this is the character T-Bag, a convicted rapist & pedophile who is easily the most dangerous of the bunch. Many viewers of this show have a strong connection to T-Bag and love the character. This is not a result of good writing, but a result of good acting. Robert Knepper plays this character so well, you root for T-Bag to succeed. You don't want to see him killed off or shipped back to prison. The fact that the Emmy awards haven't even acknowledged Knepper is a complete travesty. If this was a movie, Knepper would be nominated for an Oscar. But all the actors are good and with season 2, they've only got better at playing the roles. They're gotten under their character's skin and have really became them. The chemistry between Miller and Purcell is terrific. You believe that they are actually brothers. Fichtner as Mahone is terrific as well. He has that icy stare and intenseness that John Malkovich has and does an amazing job as the sympathetic F.B.I. agent that you love to hate. Like I said, the show isn't as smart as season 1...There's many episodes where they seemed to make up things as they went along (Michael's tattoo has become a ploy and a plot device. The writer's can make new tattoos appear whenever they wish) and the way they handled the Haywire character could have been better. There were times when they disregarded him for several episodes, when really he should have been caught by episode 3. There's no way that Haywire could've remained out longer than Abruzzi. But the suspense factor is way up there. Every episode has me on the edge of my seat, wondering what was going to happen next (Even though, I already knew which makes it even more impressive). If you haven't jumped on the "Prison Break" bandwagon yet, you should...I missed the season 3 premiere last night and I truly want to cry, because I can't wait to see what happens next. When you have a TV show that can you get that pumped up, you know you've found something special...And "Prison Break" is damned special all right. Fine acting, terrific writing, and nail-biting suspense. I said this is my review for season 1 a long time ago, but I'm going to state it again. If this was a movie, you can bet that Oscars would be involved.
