I'm sure by reading some of the reviews on certain seasons, some people will hate mine because I do agree, that Prison break should've ended at season 3.
For the past month I've watched all 4 seasons and I am on of the biggest fan's of the series. This was my second time watching it in it's entirety (Watched it when it aired, and just now on DVD). I love the series and am sad to see it all over.
There are 4 seasons to prison break, and a movie which is supposed to fill in all the gaps and loopholes the series left. In my opinion, season 1 was the absolute best, followed by season 3, then 2, and then 4. Season 4 was all over the place. It's hard to explain without spoiling anything, but in the last 6 or 7 episodes there was always a huge swerve that completly changed everything, and it just felt rushed upon us. The ending of the series happens way too fast as well. Season 4 in comparison to the others was a huge dissapointment.
The casting was great, almost perfect. Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller (They play the protagonists; Michael Scofield and Lincoln Burrows) did an amazing job, and really get you to believe them.
Season 1 has to go down in history in my opinion, as one of the best debut seasons of any show in the past decade.
I love the series, and the way season 3 ends, it could've definitly ended there and should've. Season 4 just made everything way too unrealistic, even by TV standards.
Anyway, I still say this is definitly a pick-up. Personally my favorite TV series I've ever had the pleasure of watching.
