TV Review: Prison Break - "The Sunshine State" Is Evidence That The Show Has Lost Its Plot

Sharmila — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 23:06:31 EST

With too many unanswered questions already, and even more questions thrown into the mix, Prison Break can't possibly answer them in the 8 remaining episodes!
Prison Break ended its winter offerings with the episode “The Sunshine State,” which brought about more questions than answers, and given the writers’ inabilities to tackle the already existing questions of Prison Break, now simply puts more holes into the series’ plot. Most likely these holes will never be covered or...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Going Under" Might Have Lost the Plot

Sharmila — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 17:58:13 EST

This episode was enjoyable, until the last five minutes when Prison Break might have lost its plot!
After all the highly energetic episodes that we were subjected to in the last few weeks of Prison Break, this week’s episode “Going Under” was a less energized one, with far fewer action scenes. However, although we were still provided with some interesting moments, the series might’ve have lost its plot in the last five...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Just Business" Thrilling Because of the Recession?

Sharmila — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 20:27:43 EST

Are the creative contributors of the show only now giving us exciting episodes because they don't want the series to end or to lose their jobs?
Prison Break’s “Just Business” proved this week that the show seems to have returned to its original form, which is a nice surprise, given the listlessness and doldrums that the last two seasons have brought. This episode was enticing and thrilling, much like the last few episodes, which just goes to show that a series can...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Deal or No Deal" is Engaging Enough

Sharmila — Tue, 2 Dec 2008 06:56:21 EST

"Deal or No Deal" is enticing enough, but the series should know when to pull the plug.
Prison Break’s episode “Deal or No Deal” was not as thrilling as the spectacular episode that was last week’s; however it still delivered some intense moments all the same. “Deal or No Deal” picks up where last week ended, with Scofield (Wentworth Miller) and gang realizing that Self (Michael Rapaport) betrayed...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Selfless" Had Us Spellbound

Sharmila — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:20:39 EST

With intense, riveting, and titillating scenes and plot, "Selfless" keeps us hooked from start to finish!
Prison Break aired its twelfth episode this week, “Selfless”, and it was a spectacular episode indeed, arguably the best of this season in fact. “Selfless” starts up where the series left off last week, with Scofield (Wentworth Miller) in front of the machine he and the gang worked so hard to gain access to, only to set off...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Quiet Riot" Is Tense, Suspenseful, Exciting

Sharmila — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 18:03:33 EST

"Quiet Riot" proves that Prison Break can be suspenseful, tense, and exciting as long as it returns to its previously winning formula.
“Quiet Riot”, this week's Prison Break episode, proved that every once in awhile the producers and writers remember their winning formula from season one, and revisit it with remarkable success. In this episode, the tension and nail-biting suspense was felt in the second half of the episode as the gang moved a step closer,...

TV Review: Prison Break - "The Legend" One Big, Silly Ode to Bellick

Sharmila — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 07:16:28 EST

Despite the show having some thrills, it is weighed down by senseless eulogies for a lost character.
This week’s episode of Prison Break, “The Legend,” was much better in terms of story, thrills, and structure than last week’s offering. This episode sees Scofield (Wentworth Miller) heading off to the hospital with Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) in order to check on his frequent fainting spells. Meanwhile, Sucre (Amaury Nolasco)...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Greatness Achieved" Doesn't Achieve Greatness

Sharmila — Sat, 8 Nov 2008 15:48:06 EST

Without a focus on Scofield's intellect, the episode falters.
This week, Prison Break aired its ninth episode, “Greatness Achieved”. Unfortunately the title is ironic since greatness was the last thing this episode achieved. In this episode, Wyatt (Cress Williams) faces torture and turmoil as he was captured at the end of the last episode and is now being forced to cooperate with the gang....

TV Review: Prison Break - "The Price" Is An Unfaithful Companion

Sharmila — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 07:35:03 EDT

You never know what you'll get each week.
This week’s Prison Break episode, "The Price," had Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) making a deal to partner up with Gretchen and T-Bag, as the team set to get the last card that belonged to the General. Scofield had to tell Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies) about his unfortunate partnership, which brought about a series of flashbacks...

TV Review: Prison Break - "Five the Hard Way" Is Fun, Funny, and Fantastic!

Sharmila — Wed, 8 Oct 2008 17:50:11 EDT

Cast and crew have cohesively come together to make Prison Break a grand affair!
After last week's poorly executed and written episode, and humdrum performances from Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, it was delightful to witness that this week's Prison Break episode, “Five the Hard Way", was fun, funny, and proved an absolutely fantastic piece of television to watch, complete with dazzling performances...
