The plot is tight and very thrilling. Every episode keeps you on the edge of your seat, along with the protagonist's anxiety. The conflicts between prisoners and guards, among the prisoners, between ordinary people and authorities, and between various political parties are all exciting. Every character is strong; there's not a single weak link. The details, foreshadowing, and responses throughout are perfectly executed, showcasing a high level of writing!

I watched with my brothers when it came out, we were obsessed with it, during that good times when the TV was just one, and the schedule was not something you could control, and we had to watch stuff together. Great memory

The issue with shows with strong concepts is that once they've exhausted their concepts, the thrill starts to fade. It becomes less and less thrilling for the audience as it keeps rehashing the same old prison-breaking plot. I just finished the first episode of the final season, and the storyline seemed pretty mediocre, missing the surprises that used to grab my attention. Even with the entire cast coming back, it failed to reignite the excitement I originally had. Without fresh elements to keep the audience engaged, any sort of "comeback" just feels a bit lackluster.

This show was my absolute favorite when I was in college, and I can still feel the excitement I once had when the first season was released. The story was so gripping that it kept me on the edge of my seat, and my heart was pounding in my chest. I powered through the entire series. However, the more I watched, the more I found myself losing interest. I guess it eventually got way too drawn out for my taste.

I recently rewatched this show that I used to watch while staying up late in my college dorm many years ago, and it still captivated me. It got me thinking about the significance of sticking to your principles when government authority seems to interfere with justice and freedom. Yet, the show's intricate plot and the constant back-and-forths between characters, with unexpected twists, kept me on the edge of my seat. It's moments like these - indulging in a high-quality TV series, that make my life much more enjoyable.

Puffff... que puedo no decir de esta serie, simplemente mi favorita, es perfecta en casi todos los sentidos, jamás había visto una serie tan bien elaborada en sus 4 temporadas, la 5ta fue un mal sueño, pero si eres fan del suspenso, los giros inesperados en la trama y toda la acción que conlleva a una serie muy bien pensada, esta es la mejor opción, es una pena que no se despidiera tan bien como debía, pero para mi termina en el Final Break, uno de los mejores finales que he podido encontrar en una serie de drama y acción. Es una de esas series que puedo seguir viendo una y otra vez.

Una de las mejores series de fox. La trama y dirección son muy inteligentes. Tiene una dinámica visual interesante. Tendrás una grata experiencia, si eres alguien que ame el ingenio.

La trama es ajustada y muy emocionante. Cada episodio te mantiene al borde del asiento, junto con la ansiedad del protagonista. Los conflictos entre presos y guardias, entre presos, entre personas comunes y autoridades, y entre diversos partidos políticos son todos emocionantes. Cada personaje es fuerte, no hay un solo eslabón débil. Los detalles, la premonición y las respuestas a lo largo de todo son ejecutados a la perfección, con un alto nivel de escritura.

O enredo é tenso e emocionante. Cada episódio te mantém fascinado, seguindo a ansiedade do protagonista. Os conflitos entre prisioneiros e guardas, entre prisioneiros, entre pessoas comuns e autoridades, e entre vários partidos políticos são todos emocionantes. Cada personagem é forte; não há um único elo fraco. Os detalhes, prenúncios e respostas são perfeitamente executados, apresentando um alto nível de escrita!

O problema das séries com conceitos fortes é que, uma vez esgotados esses conceitos, a emoção começa a desaparecer; fica cada vez menos interessante para o público à medida que continua repetindo a mesma velha trama. Acabei de terminar o primeiro episódio da temporada final e o enredo é fraco, sem as surpresas que chamavam minha atenção. Mesmo com o retorno de todo o elenco, não consegui reacender a empolgação que tinha originalmente. Sem novos elementos para manter o público envolvido, o “retorno” fica um pouco sem brilho.
