#PRISON BREAK SEASON 3 RECAP FULL#
Mahone’s drug addition comes to light too and the full effects of this are explored in a decent sub plot but aside from those two characters, the majority of the cast play familiar roles and take on their personas with little change to the past few years.ĭespite its best intentions and the changing locale, colour palette and dynamics for some of the characters, you can’t help but feel that Prison Break is a show that’s running a little thin on ideas. He’s the guy you love to hate but there’s times where his character garners a more sympathetic response, helping to flesh his character out. The orange and brown colour scheme that dominate the prison sequences further accentuate the far cry from season 1 and seeing Bellic’s fall from the top prison officer in season 1 to the bottom of the pecking order of the prisoners is interesting and brings a really good dynamic to the character. With some new faces joining the cast this year, the returning characters take on some new roles which helps to differentiate the pace and tone from previous seasons. With Lincoln working hard to try and find legal means to get Michael transferred to a US prison, the interesting reversed dynamic of seeing Lincoln try and free Michael rather than the other way round is a welcome change of pace. After what starts as a relatively tense first half, the tension does dissipate a little and settles into a more consistent rhythm. The higher stakes are shown to brutal effect – frequent fighting, corruption and the isolated location all combine to make things harder than ever for Michael to try and concoct an escape plan.
#PRISON BREAK SEASON 3 RECAP SERIES#
With clear intent to bring the series back to its roots, season 3 feels like a lite version of the excellent season 1 and despite its best intentions, can’t quite reach the same lofty heights the first season of the show reached.Īfter Michael (Wentworth Miller) ends up imprisoned in SONA, Panama along with returning characters T-Bag ( Robert Knepper), Alex Mahone ( William Fichtner) and Bellick ( Wade Williams), a fight for survival ensues as the inmate-run prison threatens to overwhelm the returning characters. There’s fewer episodes this season too, helping to keep the action focused and moving at a swift pace. The third season of Prison Break brings the action back inside the claustrophobic confines of a prison – this time a Panaman, high security one surrounded by a bleak landscape of barren rock and desert.
