An amazing series!

A Customer from Cambridge, England, 2nd August, 2006

Prison Break has had me stuck to the TV wanting more and more of it. I'm glad I rented it as I watched as many as I could in one go! Its funny, serious and exciting all rolled up into one. The story can turn at any point and you can't help but hold your breath... just hoping they get to escape!... Well most of them!

Fabulous Prison Break

pat betty from Co Durham, 19th March, 2007

This is absolutely the best series I have watched for years. It is exciting and believable from the very first episode. The suspense waitng for each new DVD almost kills me. Brilliant acting, on the edge of the seat performances from the whole cast.

Prison Break - 1

A Customer from England, 30th July, 2006

Fantastic but make sure you book plenty time to view as you won't want to stop until the end.

All good fun, ignore the acting!

Cchappell from , 26th October, 2009

Good rip-roaring fun, amazingly complex way to stage a prison break with loads of twists and turns. Shame the main guy is a bit of a rubbish actor (think Joey from Friends' 'smell the fart' acting), as there far too many brooding shots to camera as he contemplates the next plot turn. Can't wait for each DVD to arrive. If you like prison dramas like Oz, then this is not nearly as brutal. If you love things like 24 then it is amazing without dragging it out too long like programmes like lost.

Good but have bailed out

ollivetti from , 7th September, 2009

Gripping prison drama with all the usual stereo-typed characters, but fun nonetheless. You simply don't believe they will ever get out because of the obstacles constantly thrown in their way. I enjoyed the series but I just can't be bothered to watch the other seasons! I don't want to invest that much of my time - Series one was enough for me.
