    Default Prison Break - The series

    Amazing show. One of the best I've seen so far.

    Any fans here besides me?

    Yes, the last couple of episodes of the first series are being broadcast tonight on TSR. I quite like the series.

    Season 2?
    Prison Break sounds like nice one season idea. the whole escape thing spoils if it lasts too long.

    Their appearing on chatshows talking about their experience, and relatives of their victims also appearing and shouting at them for their criminality and how they should be locked up, etc.

    I don't think that Prison Break will become something like those long and boring soap operas, streching over 20 and even 30 years . The second season will probably followed by the third and final season.
    Anyway IMO the scenario is one of the best, with good story development and great characters. The events are not totally predictable, which is one of the strong points.
    The acting is very good (especially T-Bag and Sucre). Those actors, most of them unknown, are doing a great job.

    I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes

    Yes one here in the other hemisphere. I like both seasons...
    Only one thing brings me down though, the fact that I'll have to wait for another 2 or 3 months before I can see what happens to the fugitives.
    However one thing really pisses me off, in the USA this series are broadcasted earlier in every opportunity, so when it reaches here it's probably already over up there...

    It's really rare to see so good scripts and direction (acting too) in series, with the exception of productions in HBO. So I truly enjoy this one.

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Oh, season two has not been aired yet over here, but there are remedies for this.

    Of course there's hermano... Not Spurs per se, but NBA games in general, broadcasted by ESPN. With so many argentinians playing on the NBA it's good business for any company to deliver as much as they can... For what I know the Sport especialized channels always offer especialized programing for each country they operate.

    Well I love prison theme with movies, series etc. Prison Break is fine but I doubt I'll ever come across with a masterpiece like OZ. Prison Break smells like a clean, tidy, powdered kid compared to stinking-like-beast OZ.

    OZ is different than Prison Break. OZ was like a Purgatory (or maybe the hell itself). There was no thought of escape, only the instict of surviving. The series had plenty of action but also another objective, to present the human behaviour, the human reactions in the toughest conditions.
    Prison Break is more action based. The characters here have a plan of escaping. And also friends not only people they need.

    Tottenham Hotspur aka Spurs is an English soccer team in Premier league. My brother used to be a spurs fan when they had Eirik Thorstvedt as goalie.

    I guess your Spurs reference is to the Texas NBA team San Antonio Spurs.
    I once saw a little NBA Basketball on the telly and one of my favourite teams was in fact San Antonio Spurs, with Denis Rodman, David Robinson and Sean Elliot.
