Editorial Review:
It was always going to be a challenge to move a show whose premise effectively fitted comfortably inside a single series to a third season. And so perhaps inevitably, Prison Break moves the action back to the slammer, this time in Panama. It proves to be a wise choice, as, while plausibility has long since been thrown out of the window, it's a more natural setting for the show.
Prison Break still follows brothers Lincoln and Michael Burrows, but this time there's a far tougher prison that needs to be broken out of. It's a little less claustrophobic than the last one, but more dangerous. And along with the usual terrific supporting cast of characters, the tension, twists and violence that underpin the show are all very much present and correct.
Powering Prison Break forwards, of course, is the pin-up star Wentworth Miller, who owns his role as Michael, and grounds many of the show's extremities. And while it's a shorter season than the first two, this third run still manages to cram in some strong entertainment.
Perhaps season three isn't Prison Break's finest hour, and perhaps the concept has diluted somewhat since the show first began. But this is still really good, assured entertainment, that knows what it wants to do and simply gets on with it. For that alone, it remains a show hard to resist. --Jon Foster

Completely Addictive I think series 3 is nearly almost as brilliant as series 1 - once again completely addictive/compulsive viewing. How do the writers think of all those twists and turns. Amazing. Throughly enjoyed performances by Wade Williams (Brad Ballick) Robert Knepper (T-Bag) and Wentworth Miller (Michael Scofield)...still disappointed one of the main strong characters got killed off in series 2 but the writers soon bring in other strong actors and storylines. Cant wait to see series 4 (if there is one - I do keep... more info
Deeply deeply silly - how the mighty have fallen! The plotting is repetitious and silly - almost laughably so at times - and there's a general air of desperation and ever decreasing circles about the whole enterprise. Such a shame because the first two series were so bracingly taut and bursting with good characters. What really sinks Season 3 is the casting of a terrible actor in a major role - Whistler - every time the actor opens his mouth you can see Wentworth Miller or which ever unfortunate member of the cast he happens to share a scene with wincing... more info
Maybe it's the writer's strike, but... season three is missing a certain element that made Seasons 1 and 2 one of the best show ever. There was no mention of Agent Kellerman, a great character of the previous seasons, the company wasn't as bigger part as before, it only took eleven episodes to escape from 'Sona', and above all; the demise of Sarah. However, season three was great and a must-buy anyhow, but with only thirteen episodes this time, it seems to go to fast!
A betrayal of the fans and the great cast I loved Prison Break Season 1 and was thrilled when Season 2 somehow managed to be just as good if not better! Oh no what happened here!?! Season 3 is not even in the same league! - I watched the first 4 episodes and then gave up on it. A very major character was obviously not signed for this season of the show and is killed off very early on, this in itself was enough to ruin the season for me - the way the person is killed there is no way they can come back yet I've read they do in season 4 - not the... more info
