I was introduced to Prison break thru my brother Sheldon a couple of years ago. It has moved to being my favorite series(alongside Lost and the 4400)
The Plot:
Michael Schofield(Wentworth miller) discovers that his step brother Lincoln Burrows(Dominic Purcell) has been wrongly accused of killing the Vice presidents brother which makes him plot a jail break for his brother thru a Maximum Security prison using his skills of a Structural Designer(and tatooing the Map of the prison on his entire body) only to meet a varied group of inmates and others and be involved in a conspiracy of large corporation(The Company) which influences American political leadership.
Some plot keywords that I can list are
Jail Break, Conspiracy, Race against time
The Cast:
Although the limelight is more on Wentworth Miller as the man that can break thru a High security prison. The cast is quite impressive with my favorites being
Actor Role
Dominic Purcell, Lincoln Burrows(Michaels step brother and a man wrongly accused of murder)
Amaury Nolasco Fernando Sucre(Michels Prison mate and faithful friend)
William Fichtner Alexander Mahone(A Special agent of FBI and an Addict)
Jodi Lyn O’Keefe Gretchen Morgan(an ex US Army soldier who joined’The Company’ as an operative and can execute people without any second thoughts)
Robert Knepper Theodore’T-Bag’ Bagwell(an abusive inmate with questionable intentions and sexual orientation)
Robert Wisdom Lechero(Former Drug lord and ruler of the Sona prison)
Sarah Wayne Callies Dr. Sara Tancredi(Michael Schofields love interest)
The Verdict
This is a journey that has fast paced story, numerous twists and thrilling subplots that make it a must watch. In fact the twists come in rapidly making sure that you are never bored and complacent about the story line.
I heavily recommend it to anyone that is bored of predictable story lines on TV.
