Coherence and a respect for reality, of course, were never Prison's strengths--which makes you wonder whether this is really a show we want muddling around in Yemen, a country suffering from a civil war in which our military has become entangled. Unfortunately, to no great surprise, Prison makes no effort to get the facts or parties straight, or to avoid a single ugly Middle Eastern stereotype.
-
In its new miniseries incarnation, it wants to be a dumb show, full of clichés, that has something to say, and you’d be surprised how easily that tilts over into outright offensiveness.
-
A clunker that's slow to build and never believable as it takes shape.
-
There’s no nuance to their thinking, no unexpected wrench in the gears that they won’t eventually be able to out-maneuver, and this weighs down an already laughably heavy-handed narrative.
-
It's utter nonsense. Mind-numbingly stupid. Worse yet, it's a bore.
