(CASTELLANO) Volver a Prison Break con todo visto (incluida la resurrección) me ha confirmado dos cosas: su arranque es dinamita televisiva y, cuanto más se aleja de la prisión, más se nota el desgaste. La primera temporada es un puzle vertiginoso: planos tatuados, micro-misiones imposibles, tensión capítulo a capítulo y un uso del suspense casi musical (ayuda la partitura de Ramin Djawadi). Es puro entretenimiento de alta puntuación.
También funciona el reparto: Wentworth Miller construye un héroe cerebral sin perder humanidad, Dominic Purcell equilibra con rudeza cansada, y Robert Knepper hace de T-Bag un villano inolvidable; en la segunda, William Fichtner (Mahone) eleva la caza como un espejo oscuro de Michael.
A partir de ahí llegan las grietas: conspiraciones que crecen sin medida, casualidades salvadoras y una repetición de dinámicas que, a ratos, pide más fe que lógica. Sona (T3) aporta aire nuevo pero breve; la T4 vira a “equipo de asalto” con resultados irregulares; el retorno de 2017 es entretenido, aunque se siente más espionaje que fuga.
Con todo, Prison Break sigue siendo un maratón muy disfrutable: adictiva, hábil en el cliffhanger y con personajes que enganchan. Si alguna vez la dejaste a medias, el viaje completo merece la pena… aunque el mejor recuerdo siga estando entre rejas.
(ENGLISH) Revisiting Prison Break end to end (revival included) confirmed two things: its opening run is dynamite TV, and the farther it gets from the prison, the more wear shows. Season one is a breathless puzzle—inked blueprints, micro-missions, tension episode by episode, and suspense paced almost like music (Ramin Djawadi’s score helps). It’s high-grade entertainment.
The cast clicks, too: Wentworth Miller crafts a cerebral hero without losing humanity, Dominic Purcell balances him with weary grit, and Robert Knepper makes T-Bag an unforgettable villain; in season two, William Fichtner (Mahone) elevates the manhunt as Michael’s dark mirror.
Then the cracks appear: conspiracies that balloon, miracle coincidences, and a repetition of beats that sometimes demand more faith than logic. Sona (S3) injects fresh air but briefly; S4 pivots to a “heist squad” vibe with mixed results; the 2017 return is fun, though it feels more espionage than escape.
Even so, Prison Break remains a highly watchable binge: addictive, expert at cliffhangers, and driven by characters who hook you. If you once dropped it, the full ride is worth it… even if the best memories stay behind bars.

Wasted potential. The first 12 episodes were actually good and cohesive with the show. The real downfall was the rest of the season— how did the arrived to the conclusion of killing off the best character in such shallow way? I can't imagine how fans felt back in the day with such horrid finale.

Poderia ter acabado na 2ª ou no máximo na 3ª temporada. Enrolaram demais, ficou massante e previsível. Não aguentei finalizar a série.

First two seasons - okay. Everything after that - convoluted and uninspired. Just stop watching after S2.

i was recently able to finally watch this recently on netflix at a time i had nothing else to binge on. the first season had enough intrigue to keep me interested but as the seasons progressed, particulary with s03 and s04, it just got stupider and irritating. the character arcs defied logic with all of them constantly making stupid, head scratching decisions. the plotholes are all over the place. not suitable for a binge watch.
