Prison Break is an American television series on Fox that premiered on August 29, 2005. The story revolves around a man who was sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit and the lengths that his brother will go to to save him. Season 1 reached its completion on May 15, 2006. Season 2 of Prison Break began on August 21, 2006.

Now, plots of season 1 and 2:

Lincoln Burrows is accused of the murder of Terrence Steadman, who is the brother of the female Vice President of the United States. With strong evidence supporting the charges of first degree murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm against him, Lincoln was sentenced to death (by electric chair). Although Lincoln adamantly asserted his innocence and that he was set up, he was sentenced to the Fox River prison facility to await his execution.

Lincoln’s brother, Michael Scofield, convinced that Lincoln could not have committed such a crime, hatches an escape plan. He designed a full-body tattoo that secretly encodes every last detail of the prison facility and had it tattooed on his body. After destroying any evidence that could reveal the tattoo at his office, Michael staged a bank robbery, knowing that he will be convicted and sent to Fox River. Once an inmate, time worked against him as he overcame various obstacles and made the right connections among the inmates and prison staff to be successful in breaking out his brother.

As Michael put his plan to action inside the prison to save his brother, their childhood friend and lawyer, Veronica Donovan worked on the outside to uncover the conspiracy that put Lincoln in jail. She began to unravel a trail of mysterious incidences that resulted in her being pursued by covert agents. On the same night as Michael and Lincoln’s successful escape from Fox River, Veronica found the strongest piece of evidence to disprove Lincoln’s murder charge - Terrence Steadman still alive.

Eight hours after their escape from Fox River State Penitentiary, Michael and Lincoln are on the run from the authorities pursuing them. Among those who escaped with them are Sucre, Abruzzi, C-Note, T-Bag, and Tweener. Soon after the prison break, a federal agent, Alexander Mahone is assigned to track down and capture these eight escapees. Lincoln’s quest for exoneration is hindered when Veronica is shot by Terrance Steadman’s security after she had found him in hiding.

Now, let me express my feelings.. I just got the first episode of the 2nd season last night and so far my review is:

** SPOILING DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU WATCH THE SHOW, AND YOU SAW THE 1ST EPISODE OF SEASON 2 **

Nothing has been able to get it out of my head since last night. The futility, the utter and complete futility… they made us see Veronica and Nick follow the outside trails on this case for a long time, now I couldn’t handle the sudden comedown from uneasy triumph to imminent and inescapable death.

I got really pissed thu the concept and the scenes are catchy and perfectly done but this is nonsense, why wasting our time on 23 episodes hoping that Veronica can do something and now she just.. vanishes! I’m expecting that by the end of the series only one will still be alive. I feel so sorry for her, just like anna lucia from LOST!!

** SPOILING DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU WATCH THE SHOW, AND YOU SAW THE 1ST EPISODE OF SEASON 2 **

Rating: 4/5.. But still I’m pissed
