(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.

It took them virtually 9 years to come to their senses and realise how disastrous the finale was. This season was a redemption of the later one, yet it fell short. I assume timing wasn't on their side so they forgot about crucial characters that weren't even mentioned at the end—Sucre, LJ, Mahone—. I'm very fond of this show so I'm glad we've got a deserving finale for Michael Scofield. Overall, Prison Break is worth watching and definitely very top on my list.

I loved it - the charisma of Wentworth and brute of Dom made a great team and the drama and suspense was off the charts in every episode.
Michael Scofields MacGyverisms were amazing and so clever to watch and try to second guess what he had planned - his fearless attack on everything and everyone without ever firing a shot -even the president, was so fun to see his boldness. I know Wentworth has claimed to never do another Season but what about a spinoff with Ja - the Korean Queen fan, he was smart, confident, bold like Michael and could pull off some great episodes in my opinion. Let's see Ja in a new series - he'd make a great new prisoner with intellect, or an agent, whatever, and bring in some of the other familiar faces. I just started watching this series for the first time in June of 2025 and it's a 20 year old series but it really captivated me for sure. Would love more!!

And once again, a good series got stretched out too far, ending with a flop.
