    A melhor série drámatica/suspense, não tem nem como definir, uma lenda realmente boa demaaais. E com um final que ninguém imaginou nem por 1 segundo e com uma mensagem que nos faz pensar oque faríamos por nossa famílias.

    I love this show I've seen it two times and the first time I breezed through it not feeling any problems and thinking to myself this is a 10/10 show but after waiting awhile longer and watching it a second time I found myself becoming less attached to these characters obviously knowing what would happen would do that but that's not how it happened. How it happened was in the times thatI love this show I've seen it two times and the first time I breezed through it not feeling any problems and thinking to myself this is a 10/10 show but after waiting awhile longer and watching it a second time I found myself becoming less attached to these characters obviously knowing what would happen would do that but that's not how it happened. How it happened was in the times that they weren't showing Miller/Michael, they were showing Dominic's/Lincolns ex investigating the case looking for answers this became boring as I found a pattern of Michael would do something cool then you would haft to watch 15 minutes of Lincolns ex about how and I quote "This is to dangerous" "I don't know if I can do this" I am sure everyone was saying shut up! At that point but overall good plot very enjoyable first viewing second viewing you will realize it's flaws but they are not TV killers just minor nitpicks.… Expand

    IMO this is the best season of the very good TV show. Too bad it went downhill after this season, but it happens to (almost) every show I have heard about.

    The first season of Prison Break was very catchy then the second one was a bit boring, I feeled that it was over extended. Again the third season struck hard and was great. Overall it is a nice one for the one who love suspense.
    Cant get rid off it once you start watching.
    overall Rating 8/10

    As good as it gets! Season 1 was gripping and exciting, it had an original story and characters that dived straight into the action and wasted no time revealing the characters motivations.

    This show is another great one, and has some good characters in it and not to mention good actors who portray their character perfectly.

I was pretty disappointed that the show only ran 5 season because I thought that it was good and always interesting.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is by far one of the best TV series of the past decade. The first season of prison break is incredible an easy 10/10. The second season is also an amazing work of film 9/10. The third season wasn't the best season because of the writers strike 6/10. The fourth seasons ending was a little shaky but still kept viewers on the edge of their seats 7/10. The reboot or fifth season was amazing, not as good as season 1 and 2 but can hold its own 8.5/10. This series is one of my favourites of all time.… Expand

    back in 2010 i walked in on my girlfriend watching this,she was on episode 8 and i caught the last 20 mins and was hooked so after begging several times she agreed for my sake that we can go back to episode 1 so i can catch up lol.

    great series and characters i give it a 9 as season 4 was well it could have been better

    Best TV show I've ever seen. I don't know why it has such a low 'critic score. Everyone must watch this. Everything is perfectly done. The cast, the setting, the plot and the dialogue is all a masterpiece

    This is the best show that has ever been on TV, 10/10 stars. I think about going to prison often just so I can channel my inner michael scofield to break out of the joint. Trust the Process!!

    This film noir portrait of corruption and morally-compromised obsessions stars Welles as Hank Quinlan, a crooked police chief who frames a Mexican youth as part of an intricate criminal plot. Charlton Heston plays an honorable Mexican narcotics investigator who clashes with the bigoted Quinlan after probing into his dark past. A memorable

    If the show can stay as gripping as its premiere... it will be a welcome new prime-time puzzle.

    As with "24," the whole enterprise, however action-packed, would fall flat if viewers didn't care about the characters, and "Prison Break" doesn't disappoint.
