I have to really come down harsh on PRISON BREAK.

While season 1 - 4 aired, it was loved by everyone, and in fact was an household movie.

Back then we had little supply of such movies gracing our screens, we were totally excited by it, always look forward to it, but now, we've been exposed to some other great series that can give prison break a run for their money.

I appreciate the fact that PRISON BREAK showcase hacks that portrays certain characters as brilliant.


One thing I hate is being disrespected as a viewer, making fictional characters so intelligent that their actions fails to answer simple questions. I watch some scenes and I go like, "I should be super dumb to believe that"


I've found the writers of prison break culpable of the above.


In order not to make this all about baseless ranting I'd make public some of my observations with prison break 5.


1. That scene where the minister of power was giving instructions to the black guy at the department of electricity (or whatever) telling him to go turn off the redundancy switch. How would he know about anything like that? Was his character set up to know anything pertaining electricity?

2.And to prove his naivety in that field, he put on a glove that was placed for him on the table by God knows who, a glove I'm sure won't be able to insulate him.

3. As brilliant as he was he picked up a spanner ( with no insulation whatsoever) and started to strike the wires off.

4. I want to assume that the place wasn't a generating plant, yes, let me throw them some ropes in that regard as I may not know the electrical setup of Yemen, so let's assume that was a substation, transmission unit, or feeder pillar. Further more I'd assume the voltage present there be 11kv, seeing the quality of the cables. Armed with a glove and a conducting material, he strikes the wires off the nuts holding them, shorting the cables in the process, he made it out unhurt in one piece. Oh please.


5. Ramal had no phone on him, he wasn't leading the escape route, how did he know to get his men to double cross mike and his crew? How did he know about Michael's exact plan with John, his dialogue with Mike at that moment gave him away as he narrates how he planned with John to get the guns from under the bed.

6. Sarah's husband's explanation regarding his picture with those assassins was REALLY DUMB. I knew there might be a misunderstanding, but that story is whack, they could've done better.

7. How Ramal was killed. Seriously? That Canadian guy's trick, it's ok, of can say more, but let's leave it like that.


My stand still remains that any intelligent/intellectual movie that fails to answer simple don't deserve such a title in the first place.

This is no longer 2005, we've advanced.


Bros...na you oh....just a-9 episode sequel...... You don crucify them already


After you , na you

Your thoughts tho....I cannuh kill u laa

I so so so much love DAT series....hope the season 2 comes out dis year sha.....13 reasons y is so dope....BT I dislike Hannah...DAT girl is so stupid ...she just doesn't know wen to stop going close to pple who will end up hurting her...Nd dats wat got her raped. D she ended up killing herself.... Y d hell dis she go to DAT party .....d guy didn't rape her well sef ....mtchrww
Nawa o! I can't believe someone can openly support rape regardless of the reason behind it.
She's a teenager for heavens sake! She made mistakes, which all teenagers do most of their teenage life. I disliked her attitude and the way she blamed everybody for what happened to her, but then I realised we all are not the same.
Some people go through shít and come out of it stronger, some don't.
I remember as a teenager, I made a lot of mistakes and it nearly messed up my life.
But with the help of my parents and those who loved me, I grew up to be a better person. I was opportune to have those people around, she didn't.
Not saying she was right for killing herself, but a part of me understands what she went through.
I know it's fiction and a TV series, but things like this happens.
Don't encourage rape, no matter the reason.

Haha, I never crucify them o, all I'm saying is that we're spoilt for choices and they seriously need to up their game. This is 2017 not 2005-2009.

If you go back to watch season 1 - 4 you'd notice some obvious flaws which were not visible to you back then.

I was mad when I saw that "power scene" that thing suppose roast am turn am to charcoal, we the viewers are not that dumb.

They are trying, they should try more because their past glory can only take them this far. They shouldn't wait till they start losing viewers and a drop in ratings before they try harder.

Cheers!

It got you angry? Same here. That's the general idea. The creator of the TV series wanted people to feel the tragedy in the series.
They did a good job. Part of the reason for the high ratings.

I'm guessing you are yet to watch an episode of the currently two series, cos you would have commented otherwise.

Just Binged Billions... Mehn, I was very impressed

An honest review below

I don't understand Lara. She protects Bobby from himself and everything else. She's clearly the glue that keeps he whole thing together. Yes, he does tend to overlook her role, but he's a self-absorbed narcissistic personality case. Personally, I like her best when she's bringing the hammer down on her boys. Just because she takes care of her man and children, doesn't mean she is lacking for power and strength.

As far as likeability of the two main characters, I see it as another play in the anti-hero format in which we have a yin/yang situation. Chuck IS NOT necessarily a good person and Bobby is not necessarily a bad person. It's actually pretty much impossible to ascertain who the protagonist and antagonist are in this show (though after writing this I decided Wendy is the protagonist and the men's conflict served as her antagonist in the primary conflict). Rather, we simply have two adversaries with differing views, their own flawed morality, and positive characteristics interspersed with negative characteristics. Reminds me of arguments I've had about the difference between what is moral/ethical and what is legal and how those different issues intertwine.

In the end, it's mainly about the dynamics of power. The most powerful character in the entire show Siff's character, Wendy. Not only is she CLEARLY the alpha in her relationship with her husband, but she is probably the only person that knows what makes Bobby tick.

Rhoades could NOT be with another woman and have a successful marriage and Bobby could not allow a less powerful woman to really know him. This is part of Lara's Axelrod's problem with Wendy. Wendy has power over everyone and everything, including Bobby and vicariously through him, Lara feels vulnerability to Wendy. The power dynamics are rediculous complex in this show (approaching the power dynamics of Game of Thrones, which is also about political power dynamics at its core).

P.S. Writing this it becomes clear that Wendy is the protagonist and the conflict between the men serves as the primary antagonist for the series (rather than an individual character)

Every series does start boring. Thought the same for GOThrones, until about the 5th episode or so. Perhaps you should try watching season 2. It's gets more intresting so does the suspense grow each episode.

The first few episodes?. Yes!....So was GOT at the beginning.

Watching season 2's finale at the moment, and i'm really sad that S3 has neither being cancelled nor renewed, and if renewed, it wouldn't premier until perhaps summer 2018.

So 3 days ago NBC cancelled Timeless after only one season... but due to public outcry online, the show has been officially renewed for season 2.
