Wow, I really don’t know what to say. The end of sec­ond sea­son is very inter­est­ing and unex­pected. We saw that Lin­coln acquit­ted of all charges and that he became a free man, but events took a strange turn and, again, we are at the begin­ning. Again, we see attempts of orga­niz­ing and going through with the plan to escape from the prison with reverse roles this time and with dif­fer­ent envi­ron­ment, unfa­mil­iar and out of control.

Story

First two sea­sons, we were fol­low­ing Scofield stick­ing to the pre­vi­ously arranged and detailed plan of escape. Good here with this sea­son is that now, sit­u­a­tion is dif­fer­ent, and he needs to make a plan as he goes, to show how intel­li­gent and capa­ble he is. New prison, with no blue prints, with unfa­mil­iar ter­rain and wild inmates. Prison hold the worst inmates in Panama, with no guards, where inmates are run­ning things, sur­rounded with no-​mans-​land con­trolled by the police try­ing to pre­vent them from escap­ing. But, this is only a pale copy of the first sea­son, a rehashed story with noth­ing much to offer. They made more com­plex and com­pli­cated story about Com­pany, added few more char­ac­ters. And, the whole story became bor­ing. This sea­son proves that they should have stopped with the series after sec­ond sea­son, and that it was best to make another ending.

Char­ac­ters

Prison Break: Sea­son 3

Prison is con­trolled by Luchero, inmate played by Robert Wis­dom who is very dom­i­nat­ing, strong and really per­fect for this role. William Ficht­ner, is once again, a secret star of the series and he showed a lot of his tal­ent in char­ac­ter trans­for­ma­tion as agent Mahone, now behind bars. New female lead is beau­ti­ful Jodi Lyn O’Keefe in role of Gretchen Mor­gan, employee of the Com­pany. Lin­coln, now out­side the prison works with Danay Gar­cia in role of Sofia Lugo.

Pro­duc­tion

This sea­son has only 13 episodes caused by the WGA strike. Series is shot in Dal­las (Sona prison loca­tion), and some parts are shot in Panama City for authenticity.

Con­clu­sion

The only rea­son to watch this sea­son is because you have already seen pre­vi­ous two, but all in all this is not as good con­tin­u­a­tion and not wor­thy of the first two sea­sons. But, one more is left, and maybe it will get better.
