The “bad” sides of “good” men generally reared their ugly heads in the show when they were trying to protect family or loved ones. Very few things are ever black and white, but rather a thick shade of grey. The show was excellent at demonstrating the grey areas of life. Viewers were able to see his more vulnerable moments and even pitied him occasionally.

Even the most despised character, Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell, who killed recklessly and was convicted sex offender was not all bad. Evil were very evident in this show and were not only portrayed by the “good guys” or just the “bad guys.” You generally were exposed to good and bad in every character. Throughout the show, you could see the weight that Michael took on himself for the bad that had been done. Though he never pulled the trigger, people’s lives were ruined by some of the things Michael needed to do in order to get his brother out of prison. The show constantly illustrated the moral war being waged inside Michael’s head, and this was fascinating to me as a viewer. He refused to murder anyone, and always found a way around hurting others.

I loved Michael Scofield the most, as he always tried to do the right thing, and was nearly always loyal and honorable. No character should ever be perceived to be perfect and always good. The characters were difficult to love, which is very real to life.

I was captivated the entire time I was watching and I thought the show had its fair share of plot twists, which I love. From a story buff’s perspective, I thought that this show did an excellent job. I thought that Prison Break was a complex and intense show. Scofield must make connections on the prison block that will aid him in his escape, but enemies are sure to make slow work of Michael’s plans. Burrows is on death row, and scheduled for execution within the month. Michael is convinced that his brother, Lincoln Burrows, is innocent of the crime for which he was committed, which was the murder of the vice president’s brother. Prison Break follows a man, Michael Scofield, on his mission to break his brother out of prison. So, in good nature, I have decided to give my fairly unbiased opinions about a television show that was first featured in 2005 and I first watched in 2012 called Prison Break. I am finding it hard to remove myself cold turkey from the act of reviewing media that I come in contact with.
