Prison Break

I loved it. It gets a little out there the more seasons you go on. Once shite gets moving though, you’ll be binge watching.

Which actor(s)?

I've seen the series once and it was years ago, don't even remember a ton of what happens especially later. However I DO remember really enjoying it.

Funny enough, I just started a rewatch on netflix and am also about 5 or 6 eps into the first season. It's a lot hokier than I remmebered which isn't necessarily bad. I think if you can accept that it's NOT trying to be breaking bad or the wire or a super high level, true to life drama and just roll with it it's more enjoyable. Some of the stuff I've seen now in the rewatch is just SO ridiculous and silly it's almost laughable but hey, it's a lighthearted show about breakint out of prison.

I'd definitley suggest to keep going.

eta: and as others have said, it declines in quality as it goes on. First season or two are excellent but it kinda fades after that. Still worth checking out IMO

The first season was a masterpiece

This x100

Not to spoil things, but if they’d just ended it after the first season, it would go down as a genuinely bulletproof series of tv

I’d watch the first season, consider that the end, and then not watch subsequent seasons

I've never rewatched it but enjoyed the first few seasons as they aired. It did seem like a show they didn't plan to run a long time. Suddenly there was a pipe that was going to take longer to get through. And some characters just sort of disappeared.

The actors playing the brothers are fricking terrible. I did enjoy that show though.

I agree. Especially the dumb one

Bloodline followed the Prison Break arc

phenomenal season 1, on par with some of the best television ever

season 2 - eh? well ok, still watchable and fun. whatever

season 3 - WHAT THE frick

to be fair to Bloodline though it wasn' treally their fault. Something about tax credits ending in the keys where they were filming so it was basiclaly "welp, we've got a week to wrap things up. Let's go ahead and finish 'er on up".

Which sucks because early bloodline was AWESOME. I'll get a wild hair and watch seasons 1 and 2 every other year or so.

In the last couple of seasons the main dude wears long sleeves 99% of the time because they didn’t want to keep putting on his fake tats for every scene.

Stuck with it and on episode 15 of season 1. Enjoying it, but it’s cheesy and way too over the top and unrealistic. None of this crap would fly in the real world, but it’s interesting enough.

I compare it to Sons of Anarchy in that way, but SoA had much better castings for characters.
