What do the co's think of Prison Break (the show)

[Xochitl]

yea, he's in Panama. I'm not liking it as much this season. It is like Pirates of the Caribbean and I don't understand why that guy is living in the sewers and who wants to kill him and why.

[Area51]

Yet another prison setting sitcom... Like OZ

Where the inmates are the geniuses, and the police are the ones wandering around lost. They have been wronged and now they are out to find justice and honor...

Full of some directors perception on what a prison is like and would want it to be...

No thanks, I'll pass...

I don't like it.

I am not a CO but answering anyway.

I think that it just perpetuates the stereotypes of television/movies. The bad warden. The evil (dumb - cause they don't notice he is planning an escape, etc.) officers and the innocent inmate.

Give me a freaking break!!!

Maybe if I were an attorney I wouldn't like law and order cause it is all wrong, but well, I'm not and I do.

Ive never watched the show. Just never had an interest in it. However, from this it sounds like it may be a decent show, so I may try it out.

LOL yeah, could be that.

I never cared for it. Guess I'm too analytical. Parts of the second season were filmed not too far from where I live. I guess there was something about a train. I remember seeing something about it on the local news. If I were to watch it, I'd only be interested in the places and not so much about the characters.

I've watched it from episode 1 and I keep trying to tell people that it's not your typical "prison" show. The back story about the "company" makes it pretty interesting. Too many people take this sh$t way too serious. It's entertainment. Everybody just cool out and enjoy!!

So what you are saying is that show is not real......dem is fightin' words, bro. So before I think about committing a crime I shouldn't get the prison layout tattooed on my body? Seriously, my kid who is 12 years old never misses an episode. That little fart will get up an hour before school and watch the episode he recorded. I guess some people have this show like others have WWE. Don't tell me that's not real, too.

I never watched it, and never will. I have watched OZ, even though it's not realistic. I do find it funny that the control "booth" in OZ is accessable to everyone, including the inmates.
