I really liked the first series of Prison Break. The second one was okay, and the fhird, set in some hellish central American jail where Michael was inside and Meathead had to break him out, was interesting in a totally confused way.

Michael got fat and stopped taking his shirt off, but I always had a soft spot for T-Bag.

But then there was some silly conspiracy involving Michael's mum and Jim from Neighbours and I was relieved when Michael died from a brain tumour and Lori from the Walking Dead had his baby.

But they're bringing it back. In the name of God, no.

I felt so sorry for Lincoln in series one but when he escaped and he was yelling al over the place drawing attention to himself I wished he was back on death row.

They completely abandoned the original storyline where Lincoln killed the the President's brother. Was that right? The bloke who turned out not to be dead at but was under house arrest and then was killed by someone else for a reason that wasn't explained?

I was really sad when the cat got killed in season 1.

What ? I didn't even finish series three.

Yeah it got crap, I gave up at the film version but loved the first 3 series. But it now has acquired a big cult following due to Netflix mainly so if they did it well and brought back TBag (did he die?) I might watch it . Fancied Michael like mad till I realised he was gay (the actor). Maybe he now has his 6pack back. Also Lori needs the work.

I don't remember what happened to T-Bag. I know his hand was chopped off and he murdered the vet who reattached it - though he got his comeuppance, because it rotted off again.

As I said, I liked T-Bag, which is odd, what with him being a sadistic paedophile, rapist and murderer.

Aaargh I shouldn't have clicked on this thread! Have just started second series... Didn't expect to love it so much but enjoyed first seris more.

limitedperiodonly · 11/08/2016 07:15

Sorry, I'll ask for spoiler to be put in the title. A small consolation might be that by bringing it back, they've done a Bobby-stepping-from-the-shower, and everything that happened before was all a dream.

Didn't they already bring Michael back from the dead once? Or did I misremember that?

ihatethecold · 11/08/2016 09:37

No, he dies once at the prison getting Sarah out, I believe. They showed them at the grave with his little boy.
unless i've missed something

The first season was brilliant, and I also liked tne third. Second and fourth not so much.

It started getting silly in places from the second series. Like Brad pleading guilty to a murder he didn't commit just because a lawyer told him that they wanted him and pleading innocent would just delay the inevitable? Then he gets out because an FBI agent just sort of signs him out so he could help him search for the escapees? I may be misremembering but it did seem far-fetched.

I'm aware of the wonders of CGI but I also liked the way that Fox's getting bored with spending money drawing on Michael's tattoos coincided with Wentworth Miller becoming too IMPORTANT to spend hours in make up and also getting fat.

So it was announced that Michael had had entire body lasering tattoo erasure which was very successful, but not successful enough for him to stop wearing roomy sweatshirts to show it off.

That was where Sucre came in Grin

yeah, the tattoo removal bit was so far fetched.
I did love looking at him though. so good looking.

Freshprincess · 11/08/2016 15:16

I started to lose interest when Lincoln learnt how to button up his shirts. And Sucre left.

I haven't seen the film.

Tbag got recaptured, I think.

TheGruffaloMother · 11/08/2016 15:18

I liked S1 and 3 but 2 and 4 were just filler. Is he supposed to be rising from the dead somehow in the new series? I think even with very far fetched series, there are only so many times you can add a far fetched twist before you should just let the series die.

ihatethecold · 11/08/2016 16:31

what film?
i didn't know about this.

Eminybob · 11/08/2016 19:39

Wentworth Miller is lovely to look at isn't he?
I had a huge crush on him and Sucre when I first watched it.
I don't get the attraction with Linc though, at all.
