What to Know

Critics Consensus

Prison Break's third season relocates the drama back behind bars, but the series feels like it's just retreading old ground with a series of new contrivances in tow.

Brian Lowry Variety The show appears to have lost none of its kinetic energy. So sit back, give in, and be very thankful that you're not watching this in a Central American prison. Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Andrew Dansby Houston Chronicle Of course, prison breaking is 99 percent scheming and one percent breaking. And another 98 percent brooding. Which all made this episode a lot like watching a hockey game. With no puck. Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Aubry D'Arminio Entertainment Weekly So let's be honest -- who isn't a little bit relieved? I for one, as a fan of Prison Break, began to see Monday nights as a burden. Sep 25, 2018 Full Review Ben Lankester Den of Geek Prison Break is still pulling in its audience and delivering the satisfying character twists that have become the show's trademark. When operating at its peak, this is still an addictive weekly crowd-pleaser. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Anthony Guivas The Young Folks Equivalent to a tire being stuck in the mud. Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Sandrine Sahakians TV Equals They are on their way to recapture the beauty of season one. Sep 26, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Nitsan F The story is *incredibly* stupid and doesn't make sense. It also seems like the writers are stuck in a loop making the same thing over and over. But the production and acting are okay so it's watchable. And there is a story. Worst season so far though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Rafik 1 It was good, that's it Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review gta and more B still great, not like 1 and 2 but still great, the ending (last episods) were very good! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Audience Member Again an absolutely amazing Season , it doesn't get boring , it just gets more and more exciting even though the writing in this season didn't felt that smart and special like it did in season 2 and 1 it still is excellent , the only thing which I wasnt the biggest fan of ,was the decision to kill Sarah that early , she almost didn't had any screentime in season 3 and we didn't even got to know how she was killed all there was , was a head in a box , which is very cruel and disgusting. This season was exciting had good action and was like the other 2 seasons , very good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Zach B Although still a good continuation in the Prison Break Series, Season 3 fails to live up to its past 2 seasons with its limited episode count and often repetitive story beats. However, the main casts acting is once again brilliant which does pick up perhaps quite slow scenes and bring them to the normal Prison Break standard. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Benjamin H Inconsistent and often repetitive , Prison Break season 3 is still a fast-paced and suspenseful season that solidly handles a lot of its characters and has a very fitting tone, but it is more lacking in intelligent storytelling and structure.
