Prison Break



Prison Break was one of the action oriented drama I watched back then that created by Paul Scheuring. The series revolves around two brothers; one has been sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and the other younger bro planned to help his brother escape prison. Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is set up for the murder of the vice President's brother by a shady organisation known as The Company. He's sent to the high security, Fox River Penitentiary to serve time before facing the electric chair. But luckily his genius brother, Michael Scofield, (Wennworth Miller) stole the blueprints and conjures up a way to break him out. What few people know is that Michael is the architect of the prison and so he knows his way around.

Prison Break is one of those shows that you can't wait until the next episode. It's got the whole package, personality, style, thrills and action. The characters are really good but so good that they're still unpredictable. You get to know some of their history and what kind of person they are before they end up in prison. The actors do a great job in portraying these characters. The story is well written and detailed and it all seems possible. This is one of those series with its own unique look, the mood; style and action are well captured in really good looking shots followed by really nice music.
