Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk 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, IPrison Break/I 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. P IPrison Break/I 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. P Powering IPrison Break/I 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. P Perhaps season three isn't IPrison Break/I'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. --IJon Foster/I

April 22, 2008 JAKE'S MIX 22 out of 24 found this review helpful Firstly, I love the format of Prison break - the way you never know where its going to go and what can happen next. Thats the beauty of the whole show. The fact that the story takes you to a Panama Prison is awesome. The fact that this seaon is shorter is a bit of a pain, but they still managed to give a full rounded feel to the season, without feeling like anything had been missed. It makes me laugh that some mark it dowmn for that, as everybody in the world new about the wirters strike, and there was NOTHING the creators could do about that. They made the best of it and it worked. Some say its too much like the first season. Well if you watch a show called 'Prison Break' its pretty bloody obvious that it will revolve around a prison and an escape. If thats not what you want to watch, my watch a show of that name!?!?!?! What did you expect? I think it was good, with a winning format and they did well considering the strike. Im looking forward to the next season.......... Just as good as seasons 1 and 2 August 13, 2008 raymondvonapfelstrudel 14 out of 15 found this review helpful The starting point of the original series was that a structural engineer was going to break his death row brother out of prison by getting sent to prison himself and then using his tatoos, and his work helping the prison governor construct a matchstick model of the Taj Mahal, to tunnel out of a maximum security prison and get to Panama. Naturally, the brother was the victim of a vast conspiracy on the part of the shadowy forces controlling America, a conspiracy which boiled down to giving the vice president's brother a nice house and a set of false teeth. br / br /So far, so not exactly cinema verite. br / br /Some viewers have obviously felt that season 3 was stretching the plausibility of the story. This doesn't do justice to the wild implausibility of what has come before. The plot of Prison Break is total gibbering nonsense from start to finish. Season 3 is as silly as seasons 1 and 2. It's absolutely brilliant. br / br /If you want a serious, thoughtful attempt to capture the complex, ambiguous relationship between criminal and governmental structures, watch the Wire; personally, I watch Prison Break because it's nonsense on stilts, but nonsense with a completely addictive narrative drive, played out by a fantastic set of character actors. br / br /If you took seasons 1 and 2 for what they were - the best fun on TV - then season 3 won't disappoint you. br / Bens Review May 20, 2008 Benjamin Daffurn 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have read reviews by people saying that season 2 and 3 are rubbish, I can not understand this, they are all amazing and season 3 it as great. There is a whole new look on things, it is not a complete copy of season 1 as some people have stated, there are new problems to be faced and more intimidating characters. br / br /Ok there are a few things that could have been done a lot better, I am not going to spoil it by revealing these but I think when you watch it you will see what I mean. br / br /Overall season 3 is definitely worth buying, it follows on nicely from season 2 and I would recommend it. br / If you are a die-hard Prison Break fan you will love it! June 9, 2008 UKRosie (London) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I thought this season was great. After the initial shock of one of the main characters being killed off it settles down to a nail-biting story. Prison Break works best when the characters are in prison. The new characters are very good especially Whistler- lets hope he stays around for Season 4. Michael shows his darker side in this season and you can really see his character developing. I was glued to every minute of it and my only complaint is that due to the writers strike it was too short. Bring on Season 4 I cant wait! Completely Addictive June 29, 2008 A. J. Hepworth (UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful 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 reading they are filming). Showing reviews 1-5 of 46 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...10 Next »
