Hiding all the relevant information (including a complete blueprint of the prison) in a gothic tattoo that covers his body, Michael enters the prison with only one goal: save his brother from certain death. And while it may seem repetitive to explain the show’s key premise, there’s a lot more going on here that isn’t in the title.Īfter his brother Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) is wrongly accused of murdering the Vice President’s brother and sent to prison on death row, structural engineer Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) purposefully has himself incarcerated in order to orchestrate an escape. Color me sarcastic, but that probably wasn’t the smartest move, despite the fact that the series managed to maintain its critical buzz well into the devastating season finale. That is, unless you count the four-month hiatus issued by Fox, which forced fans to sit through the lonely holiday season before finally seeing the final nine episodes. Of course, it takes more than just a few comparisons to television’s finest hour to warrant such unanimous appreciation – including a rouge’s gallery of engaging criminal characters and a season filled with heart-stopping cliffhangers – but the prison drama has yet to disappoint. Consider for a second the grand effect that “24” has had on television culture over the past five years, and you’ll quickly understand how a show like “Prison Break” becomes an overnight sensation.
