    Love the show, the talent from the last show is in this one, I can't wait to see what happens in the show, and I hope they keep on going. I don't understand why people don't like it.

    I'm impressed the talent has done so well at jumping back in their roles... I like it, and I decided to give it a chance despite some of the so-so reviews and I'm glad I did. Prison Break continues to be quite engaging and somehow humorous as well.

    It was again an amazing comeback!!!! It was perfect like prison break was. And as a prison break fan I really loved it! Stop the negative comments just because it's a revival serie because the beginnning of season 5 was in my eyes a big succes.

    It's great to see Prison Break again, I thought the ending to season 4 was perfect and was skeptical about this new season, but the story up until now (episode 7) has been interesting and kept me watching the same as I did when watching seasons 1-4. Great acting and directing as always, on the edge of your seat stuff, the big question is how does it all end and how will it compare to theIt's great to see Prison Break again, I thought the ending to season 4 was perfect and was skeptical about this new season, but the story up until now (episode 7) has been interesting and kept me watching the same as I did when watching seasons 1-4.

    It gives the feeling that you're speed watching. The whole plot was good, it has the main Prison Break 's ingredients of the first seasons and could have been stretched to a complete season of 21-22 episodes, but the fact that it ends in only nine kinda ruins it.

    I loved it - the short run meant that it the story was quick and action packed and it kept you guessing all the way through. It had all the twists and turns you've come to expect from Prison Break and every episode left me hanging for the next. It was fantastic to have such an awesome show back on TV.

    It's utter nonsense. Mind-numbingly stupid. Worse yet, it's a bore.

    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.
