Critic Consensus: Prison Break's (first) series finale will bring closure to the diehard fans, but the season's ludicrous, plot-breaking twists betray the feeling that. Apr 5, 2017 - PRISON BREAK is back after an eight-year hiatus. But what happened to Michael Scofield and the Fox River Eight in the first four seasons?
Other characters that play a prominent role in the latter half of the season include General Krantz and Scofield's mother, Christina. A satisfying end to a thrilling series I was a definitely heartbroken to see this thrilling show come to an end. I was always on the edge of my seat as I watched each episode. I admit that I wasn't sure whether they could continue to come up with plausible story lines to keep this show going and have it still remain true to its original premise, but I believe they managed to do just that. The characters were so masterfully created that you either loved or loved to hate each and every one of them.
And what made the show so nail-biting is that none of them were safe and could meet his or her demise at any time. Each episode was like watching a mini action movie due to all the twists & turns of the plots and the big-budget feel of the sets/locations. Whether you enjoy watching puzzles unfold, such as Michael's master plan to take down the company and clear their names, character interactions, and there were plenty of those, or just a good old-fashioned action series this is a great show with a satisfying (although somewhat predictable) end. Excellent, well cast, plot-driven series. Action and plot. Better than 24 in many ways.
Cast is well chosen; you even feel some empathy for the bad guys! Plot driven, but plenty of action. Action and plot. Better than 24 in many ways. Cast is well chosen; you even feel some empathy for the bad guys! Plot driven, but plenty of action.
