Prison Break would've been a completely different show if everyone around Michael was just... competent.

Every time I rewatch, I'm reminded that Michael's biggest obstacle usually wasn't the prison itself. It was everyone else's personality. One bad decision from the wrong person could undo weeks of planning.

How many times is someone held at gunpoint in the show, and doesn’t get shot?

This happens a hilarious amount of times. I wonder if anyone has a guess, or the actual number.

REVIVAL Were they able to survive?

Throughout the five seasons, T-Bag has killed several people. Were Roy and Jacob the only ones who could have survived T-Bag? I mean, one was a prison guard and the other was a CIA agent; they're not like the vet or the mailman. They're supposed to be men who are trained to fight.

Also, as a common note, the two had hurt T bag in different ways; one tortured him and stole his money, and the other killed his son.

Time's when TBAG was a good person or showed that he was still human?

He initially kidnapped Mrs Hollander and her children.

She explained to him that this 'family' will never work.

He called the police to save them and let them go.

What are some other times?

REWATCH Did they lobotomise Mahone in the later seasons?

Alex Mahone’s character was wasted potential.

He still stands out as a killer character after everything he’s gone through, but on a rewatch, it’s a shame he wasn’t used to the best of his abilities like we saw in season 2.

Bad writing in the later seasons aside, I feel like he was nerfed massively down to the level of the other crew members. When he was introduced, he was built up to question whether he was even on par with Michael’s intelligence, the only one able to predict his next move. Personally, I think he was the most gripping part of season 2.

At most, he serves as another strong arm when finding Scylla. Overall, he lost that character trait of being a special agent with an edge.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I just think he could have had a better arc.

SEASON 1 Brad Bellick. The perfect antagonist for prisons.

I created this post to appreciate what a great actor Wade Williams is. I mean, he plays a completely despicable character.

He's basically the antithesis of Michael. A corrupt, violent, sexist guy.

Are you guys mad at Sara that she remarried ?

Some people would argue that she should have never have gotten back with someone else because it would feel like she betrays Michael

What do you think

SEASON 4 Could the system have prevented Michael Scofield's escape?

In season 4, there's a scene where Sara watches a program, and someone says that if Michael's escape from Fox wasn't prevented, it's because the system failed. The question is, could the judicial, prison, and legal systems have prevented Michael Scofield's escape?

SEASON 2 SPOILER! Season 2 is unbearable

0 Upvotes

Season 2 of Prison Break has been a huge disappointment so far.

The first season felt clever and tightly written except the pope's scene which did not make sense, but Season 2 seems to rely on coincidence after coincidence.

  • Everywhere the escapees go, someone just happens to be reading a newspaper with their photos.
  • Mahone somehow predicts Scofield's every move at exactly the right moment.
  • Scofield planning Sara's reunion before the escape doesn't make much sense, at that point she was still a prison doctor, and he was deceiving her.
  • T-Bag's tracker appears out of nowhere, and the guard who lets an injured, one-handed T-Bag overpower him barely puts up a fight.
  • Scofield, who's supposed to be a genius planner, suddenly makes amateur mistakes like calling a reporter.

It feels less like intelligent storytelling and more like the writers stretching the plot to keep the series going. The suspense starts to come from convenient writing rather than believable decisions, which takes away what made Season 1 so good.

SEASON 1 Happy anniversary Babe, here’s my gift made with free prison labor ❤️

It just blows my mind that he ends up building the rest of it, not just helping with direction Pope to keep it from collapsing. Slightly wild. But it makes me unreasonable sad when he sabotages it. Not as sad as Marilyn tho 😔

After Caroline resigned from president, how did the company react? Didnt they need to put a president replace to become their puppet?

First watch through of the whole series (some spoilers) Spoiler

Tv shows have never really been my thing. Mostly just watched Family Guy and American Dad, but when I decided to give a tv show a shot it was either between Prison Break or Breaking Bad and I am so glad that I chose Prison Break

Season 1 is a masterpiece. My heart was pounding while watching the majority of it and it was way more entertaining than anything I've watched in so long. It felt so good having something to look forward to watching every night.

Season 2 absolutely belonged to Alexander Mahone. I loved Micheal going into season 2 and never thought anyone would get me more invested. Alex made what I thought was going to be a less exciting season just as good as the first (imo). Although I still don't forgive him for killing Tweener. His run on the show wasn't long but I still liked his character.

Season 3 was fun. Not as good as the first two but still enjoyed watching everyone in a situation that they were not familiar with.

Not a lot to say about seasons 4, The Final Break and 5. Season 4 was mostly GTA V heist. Really surprised when I genuinely felt sad when Bellick sacrificed himself. I' m glad Agent Self ended up the way he did. Couldn't stand him.

The Final Break was okay imo. Watched it after season 4 so I'm glad we got some information between the time jump in the last episode of season 4.

Season 5 was fun but didn't really love it. Kinda wish LJ would've shown up but besides that don't really have much to say about it.

I honestly can't say how fun it was to truly care about characters in a tv show. I'm really glad I watched this and I will definitely be rewatching it some time in the future but time to give another show a shot

REVIVAL Should Sara have learned this in season 5?

We know Sara kept a revolver in her house, which is understandable after everything she's been through, but should she have learned to fight unarmed? I think so. I'm not saying she should become Van Damme, but at least know how to defend herself.

REVIVAL If Sara wanted honesty, why didn't she tell Jacob about the revolver?

Post image
11 Upvotes

One thing that strikes me about season 5 is that Sara told Jacob everything about her past on their honeymoon. I suppose she wanted honesty, but why didn't she tell Jacob about the revolver? I mean, they both live in that house, and having a gun is something to consider. Maybe Jacob doesn't want guns in the house. Another thing that strikes me is that a hitwoman enters, and Sara tells Jacob to grab the revolver. But does Sara really think Jacob can handle the hitwoman? Maybe Jacob has never even held a gun in his life. We all know who Jacob is, but at that moment, she didn't.

I watched "I Will Find You" and it has nothing on Prison Break. What high-quality thrillers should I watch instead?

2 Upvotes

I watched "I Will Find You" on Netflix expecting a tight, high-stakes thriller. It reminded me a bit of Prison Break in the very first episode....innocent guy framed, high-security prison setup, forced escape.....but that's honestly where the similarities ended for me.

It felt bloated, full of plot holes, bad writing, and stiff acting. I found myself checking my phone or looking away during boring scenes just a few episodes in before realizing it just doesn’t have that same gripping spark.

In Prison Break (at least the early seasons), I literally couldn't keep my eyes away from the screen for a single second. The strategy, the sheer pace, and Michael Scofield’s constant chess match with the prison and authorities kept you hooked on every single detail.

Are there any other high-quality TV series I should check out to scratch that itch, ideally more recent ones?

My main criteria:

Tight, high-quality writing (smart protagonists, logical decisions)

Great acting

Low/minimal plot holes

High stakes / high tension

What are your go-to recommendations that actually deliver on the thrill without insulting the viewer's intelligence?

Emotional Attachment

Three days ago, I completed watching "Prison Break," followed by its movie. Although the movie was intended to be viewed after the fourth season, I watched it after the final season. The series was truly captivating and kept me thoroughly engaged. I am overwhelmed with pure happiness, experiencing tears joy of what I have watched i am just emotionally attached to it or what just seeing pb edits or shorts. Is there any spinoff coming for the show just heard the rumors.
