Prison Break (Season 2) Part 1 of 2

In a nutshell, season 2 is more focused and moves along with a brisk and compelling pace.

Prison Break (Season 2)

After the conclusion of season one, I didn’t know what to expect in season two. I found myself wonderfully surprised the direction they took the show. There were major shake ups even from the first episode in S2. They killed off a major character that had an important sub-plot in the first season, and the writers killed off this person ruthlessly too. I also have to say I liked that they started the season exactly where the first season left off.

The entire season has the group of prisoners finally out of prison and on the run. They not only have the police after them, but also ‘The Company’. However, more importantly, a FBI agent Alexander Mahone, played wonderfully by William Fichtner, is on their trail. This guy alone is the reason to rent season 2. I can’t even begin to tell you how intelligent, yet unstable this character is. Plus, he is the guy leading the hunt to track down the prisoners. He's has a twisted way of looking at things that keeps him sometimes ahead of Michael Scofield. I don’t want to give away anything, but I will say that he’s one of the best characters on the show by far. You'll be shocked how far he'll go too.

Each character gets a bigger part this season, even some of them get to redeem themselves from their actions last season. C-Note has by far some of the most emotional moments in the season. There is one scene that has him breaking down and crying because he doesn’t know what to do.

Once loose, T-Bag goes on a killing spree throughout the country and no one is safe. Robert Knepper is just great as this predator. There is a moment when you almost feel for him. You’ll hate T-bag, but you’ll want to see what he’ll do next.

Then there is a huge twist when a certain villain has an awaking of sorts and changes…
