Summary: Totally addictive!!!
Comment: You won't be disapponted, great plot, great action, great acting. Superb suspense. This show is So addictive!!!.. Definetely a must see for good television series fans. I was resilient to watch it because of the jail story, thought it was going to be depressive...how mistaken I was, now I can't get enough... Please hurry with the release of season 4!!!! ...it's so hard to stop watching one episode after another, it makes your heart beat so fast!! be cautious if you have a heart condition...it is so intriguing and exciting. But you must watch every episode of the series from episode 1 ... keep in mind that all episodes are important.

Summary: Another great season
Comment: In my opinion, Prison Break Season 1 was the best season of television ever. I do think the show should have stopped where they planned it to, at season 2 with the President clearing Lincoln, but it didn't. Instead we got Season 3.
I was initially skeptical that the writers wouldn't be able to pull off a second interesting break-out, but with the addition of some new characters and the intrigue surrounding the Company and it's employees, the show became fresh again. I'm looking forward to seeing how they explain away the infamous head in the box after Ep 3.
What's great about Season 3 is we see Michael acting on the fly. All of his plans are suddenly shot to the moon, and he's having to figure things out without his tattoos and without much help. Miller is brilliant, and Purcell gets better all the time. The supporting cast is equally solid, but the best addition is of course, Gretchen. WOW! She almost single-handedly keeps the show fresh.
Another thing you'll notice is that the writers already seem to have a little idea of where they're headed with the show's future. Look forward to some great action, and hopefully a brilliant end to the series, in season 4.

Summary: Still the best show!
Comment: Every season of prison break has a new setting. Season 1 of course in Fox River, season 2 on the run, and season 3 in SONA. This season brought us the same great suspense and McGuyver like escapes and genious of Michael. And for those of you that are pissed Sarah died, she is coming back in Season 4! I read that, so don't worry. They need her so they can throw Michael a bone and take down The Company. I LOVE THIS SHOW!

Summary: What the F###!!!???? (spoilers, don't read if you haven't watched)
Comment: Okay, WOW... I don't know which is worse... the fact that they're charging for a FULL SEASON (a-la Season 1 & 2) while there's only 13 Episodes (thanks for Nothing "writers".... can't they get "scabs" like any other occupation would do!?)........ OR....... the fact that they made the most Disgusting, and HORRIBLE decision of the Series... when they KILLED OFF SARAH!!!??? Okay, I take it back... it's obvious which is worse... BRING BACK SARAH!!... Come on, we're willing to believe it was just a "look-a-like" or "FX" Sarah-Head in the basket!
Seriously though, what is the deal with the Writers & their HATRED of the leading ladies on this show!? (Veronica Donovan: season 1.... Sarah Tancreti: season 3 --- yes, I'm sure I've mispelled it --- who cares.) And they've "replaced" her now with the X-Lover of the CIA Agent (who isn't even a TENTH as hot as Stacy Keach, aka Sarah!).... and us "Guys" are suppose to drool over who, now??
All in all, even without the death of Sarah, season 3 wasn't nearly as good as 1 or 2. Much of it just wasn't at all plausible (Michael's daring feats inside the jail... getting the "supplies" to carry off said missions, etc. etc. --- SONA isn't Fox River... there's no Pharmacy, Chemical & What-Not Storage Rooms, etc. for him to break into (or buy from) in order to pull off his plans... most of them, totally on the fly!) I found myself asking the same question over & over... How can they expect... putting this delicately... the more Intellectual Viewers (especially those of us with Common Sense!)... to go along with his schemes & scams!? I don't know -- I was taken out of the action quite a bit just by the sheer nonsense of it sometimes; & thankfully I'm not alone in this feeling/opinion on those episodes.
Season 3 gets a 3, Star rating that is.... for lack of believeability, lack of episodes.... and especially for the Bone-Headed decision to kill Sarah! (to make it a real thriller & mystery... they could've simply removed her from the room where she & LJ were... kept the camera on LJ in the room... & then, BANG!, a gunshot...... is Sarah dead?... We're led to believe she is... especially when they provide a well made-up picture for the Brothers, head-wound & all (w/ FX Make-Up & Digital Imaging, etc.)...... but is she REALLY dead... no one knows..... then Michael, assuming she's dead... sets out on the same Revenge mission (aka, Season 3 Finale)... and at the end of Season 4, or 5, or even the End of the Series... SHE'S ALIVE!, they reunite (after killing his way to the truth, to find her)... and they live happily ever after.
See, I'm not a "Professional" writer; but I just gave them the scenario AMERICA would want to see happen.... and the Plot, Events prior & up to, didn't even have to change! But no, rather than be a little CREATIVE & IMAGINITIVE... they go with the simplistic, kill 'em all attitude. I realize this isn't Disney, and there are rarely "happy endings" in the real world.... but come on Writers, & Producers.... Sarah NOT dying is a scenario that should've been Fought LONG & HARD for! (and there's always the angle of the bad guys chopping off one of her fingers & saying, next time you screw with us - it'll be the whole arm.... but no... kill all the women) Well, I know I'll catch hell for saying this in the "comments"; but since Sarah died.... LJ should go too at some point... at least Stacy's acting never brought down a scene!

Summary: Back in the slammer
Comment: As the third season of Prison Break begins, Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller) finds himself back in prison, only this time it's a down and dirty prison in Panama ruled by the tyrannical Lechero (The Wire's Robert Wisdom). Also sharing space with Michael are T-Bag (Robert Knepper), Bellick (Wade Williams), and Mahone (William Fichtner); while Linc (Dominic Purcell) works on the outside to get his brother free at any cost, with the assistance of a mysterious associate (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) who has her own agenda. The third season of Prison Break manages to provide pretty much the same kinds of action, suspense, drama, and twists that fans of the series would come to expect by now; which adds up to this season being a success. However, falling victim to the writer's strike, the third season of Prison Break ends up feeling rushed and somewhat incomplete. At only 13 episodes, this is something to be expected, but it still comes off as noticeable nonetheless. Flaws aside, this is still great TV to be seen, and everyone in it is in fine form as well. All in all, the third season of Prison Break while flawed, is still enjoyable, and sets the stage for even bigger developments to follow.
