Prison Break: Season 2: DVD Review

The conspiracy deepens, the pace quickens, the series finds its legs and man, does it run.

This literally is a fresh break from the season that came before it, with Michael (Wentworth Miller) and his brother Linc (Dominic Purcell) breaking free from the high-security prison that contained them and fleeing with Sucre (Amaury Nolasco), C-Note (Rockmond Dunbar) and John (Peter Stormare), among others.

It can be a kinetic ride, but one that shrewdly pauses long enough to deepen the characters in ways that they weren't in the first season.

In some ways, the show reminds you of the old Saturday matinee serials--at every turn, there's a cliff hanger. The good news about this show? You don't want to throw yourself off one while watching it.

Grade: B+
