    I cannot say how stupid the story line is, and how they dont even pretend to try to have to make the remotest possible sense. i am forced to watch because i have to finish what i start but this is possibly the worst storyline I have seen in a decade. the hammy romantic scenes... the same music that always accompanies any scene where sarah tancredi's face happens to appear by chance..

    If there is a God that presides over people who benefit from generating the very lowest form of gratuitous 'entertainment' and that, unbelievably, are responsible for further dumbing down humanity, then Paul Scheuring, the creator and director of 'Prison Break', is going straight to hell.

    Much better than season 3. It has more action and new actors like michael rappaport.

    Three major characters are killed tonight within the first hour of a pretty stellar premiere.

    Now it must find a way to become more than a routine action drama pitting plucky good guys against amoral, robotic bad guys. It's got the characters who can do that, though, and it's also streamlined its story enough so even a new viewer can figure out what's going on from tonight's back-to-back premiere episodes.

    It’s especially good when the mission is as preposterous as this one. True to Prison Break form, the new season is laid out as a series of tasks, the retrieval of The Company’s most vital information, stored on what is essentially a digital black book (as opposed to hole).
