Editorial Review:
Prison Break season two simply shouldn’t work. Having effectively concluded the story arc at the end of season one, there was real cynicism as to whether the pace, energy and excitement could possibly transfer to more episodes.
Yet that’s overlooking the sheer presence of the fascinating, twisted bunch of characters we got to know, love, hate and jeer at throughout the show’s maiden season. And in many ways, the second series of Prison Break evolves into a logical extension. If you’ve not seen series one, look away now.
With Michael and Lincoln Burroughs, along with the other escapees, now on the run, the focus switches to keeping out of prison rather than trying to break into it (not for nothing does one of the show’s creators cite The Fugitive as an influence). That’s no easy task though. On top of the media interest in them, there are the political forces behind the scenes that were slowly developed in the maiden season,
Once you add into the cauldron the simmering relationships between the escapees themselves, and the feeling of distrust that underpins them, the second season of Prison Break falls into place. And do you know what? It’s genuinely as exciting as it was first time round.
Sure, the show takes the occasional narrative shortcut, and shows willingness to test the boundaries of realism as much as it can. But there’s no getting away from it: Prison Break is relentless, exciting television, and when this second season concludes with a logical progression to what’ll happen in the third, you can’t help but demand more. --Jon Foster

TOP DRAW STUFF ONCE AGAIN!!!!! I enjoyed the first series far more than this but this was still top draw stuff from were the first series finished. I really didn't think it would work not being in a prison but it did it was edge of the seat right to the final scene. My only moan is they have killed off some of the more none actors which is a shame really I just hope series 3 brings in some good new ones. Overall well worth a view for me this is better than 24 and that is coming from a die hard 24 fan.
What Happened?! (Spoilers) After the superb first season, this second season had to do a lot right to maintain the momentum since the prisoners had now accomplished the title of the series. Unfortunately, I felt there were a few too many mis-steps to make this anywhere near as good as the first season. I didn't like the sudden removal of Veronica Donovan in the very first episode. It felt like they didn't know what to do with the character and so just killed her off. Also, other characters like Abruzzi and Tweener were wasted.... more info
It shouldn't work but it does.... I was intrigued as to how Prison Break Season 1 was going to last a whole season with such a simple concept as a guy wanting to break his brother out of prison. Not only was I intrigued by the concept but I soon found myself hooked by the comings and goings of the inmates of Fox River Penitentiary. Season 1 ended and it seemed mission accomplished....then there's talk of season 2. Happy days! Again I wasn't sure how this was going to work....surely keeping out of prison was going to be easy enough. No so in... more info
BEST TV SHOW EVER!!!
