Default Prison Break

Has anyone else on here seen this show?
One of the most intense shows I've seen. Hasn't come out here, but it's very well done, extremely interesting.

Sure is. I wonder when it is back on. The black guy from Lost is the guy in the wheel chair in OZ if anyone noticed.

Back on topic, I will be watching this show when it comes out here.

Yeah, basically his brother's on Death Row, for a crime he didn't commit. But if you can find him, and if you need him, then maybe you can hire.. - no wait, wrong series.
So his brother is on Death Row, for a crime he didn't commit. He gets himself put in jail, and tries to break him out, while on the outside, others are uncovering the conspiracy that put the brother in jail.

I havent watched it on TV yet as it conflicts with house - so I'm downloading it. I'm up to episode 7, but will watch the whole series in one weekend. Have a prisonbreak-a-thon.

It'll probably be the only TV series I will watch. A bit far-fetched, but what isn't these days?

i saw the first episode on tv last wednesday, and think it is really good.

OZ was an awesome show, used to be on SBS, does anyone know if that will be returning or was that the last season or what?

Alright, I know I'm bringing back an old thread, but I just had to post about this show.

I've been watching it every week without fail and for someone who's never been that fussed about watching TV (except friday nights, back in the day, when WCW Nitro was on) I actually look forward to my Wednesday nights infront of the tube.

However, this evening I became slightly unsure of what to expect. It was a great episode, don't get me wrong. Not the most eventful, but I did learn how to cut someones eye out with a light bulb, so all is not lost.

My problem is this: The preview for next weekends episode has a phonecall being made from within the prison walls to someone who should never, EVER, ever be allowed to grace the presence of such quality viewing.

Holly... FREAKING... Valance.

You have GOT to be kidding me, right? Clearly 1800-Reverse is not advertised over in the US. And clearly Neighbours isn't watched by as many overseas-eresers (...!?) as we were led to believe.

Am expecting the acting talent average to fall quite horrifically next week.

Until then, I'm off to ponder how those crazy kids from P.I. are going to overcome the downfalls that now confront them.

Soooo boring and drawn out. First couple of eppisodes were interesting, now lost all interest... Would have been better as a mini-series..

The mini-series comment is true, I mean, there's only so much that can happen considering his brother IS going to be put to death eventually, unless they manage to clear his name etc, in which case the series would have no real reason to continue. It will probably end up like Lost, you wouldn't have thought a show about a plane crash could go on like it has, I wonder what kinds of silly twists they'll add to prisonbreak (I'll be keeping a lookout for weird black smoke patrolling the prison at night). Also, the constant anti-insulin/insulin drugging has got to be having some sort of effect on Michael.

Yeah, that was a hell of a twist. But the next episode where Lincoln reveals that he is actually in the secret service and was undercover in the prison was even better.
