4 stars (Very Good) A unique premise that will keep you guessing with every episode, PrisonBreak held enough promise on the 1st season alone to carry it through 4 (increasingly implausible and ultimately awful) seasons. Watch the 1st season and pretend that's where it ended ~Tom H

3 stars (Good Enough) The screenplay to its credit has more emphasis away from the aggro normally associated with prison dramas. ~Tubbs
