Part of the thrill of the show is fretting just how long they can hold off jumping the shark, but miraculously there hasnt been a fin sighting yet.Īfter all, Michaels dangerously felonious recruits to his elaborate scheme are not going to hang in there with him for years. Judging from the first half of the season, it will be something wildly ingenious and unpredictable. Obviously, since the programmes been renewed for a second season, he must get a stay of execution or some startling deus ex machina is in the works. Created by Paul Scheuring and executive-produced by Brett Ratner, its sooooo high concept, those of us hooked on it from the pilot have been asking ourselves in disbelief every week just how long this show can sustain its premise Death Row hunk Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is so few days away from the electric chair that hes already handed in his last meal request (blueberry pancakes). If you havent been watching Prison Break youve been missing one of the most audacious serial thrillers yet from US television. Every episode sees another piece of Michaels puzzle revealed, and another hair-raising (or, in one instalment, toe-amputating) setback test him. Because the man with the plan Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) is a genius structural engineer with the prison blueprints intricately tattooed around his torso and arms, along with various memos, names and tips. Make that up both sleeves and under his vest.

Determined to save his brother from being executed for a crime he didnt commit, a man gets himself arrested and sent to the same prison with an elaborate escape plan up his sleeve.
