Prison Break (2005-2017)

The "prison break" formula

Did you notice:

Every woman in "Prison Break" is extremely attractive: Sarah Tancredi, Michael's marriage-of-convenience wife Nika Volek, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, just basically every woman is incredibly attractive.

Lincoln is on death row yet he's released from death row to go and build the recreation room using various dangerous tools.

We've never heard of LJ much until suddenly the great love of LJ becomes the turning point for the plot.

The actor who plays Lincoln seems not too convincing.

Someone dies in every episode.

T-Bag is basically "Captain Scarlet" in that he's completely indestructible. The number of times T-Bag escapes being killed starts to get a bit ridiculous.

I'm not sure why I watched this all the way through season two and I even tried to watch season three, where they all got put back in prison again.

I suppose the companies that make these series have to try to recoup their investment by making something which keeps people watching, rather than appealing to internet nitpickers like me.
