Prison Break season three makes its triumphant return in just a few weeks and I decided to show the two trailers/promos.

A Prison Break thread that has the word 'best' in the title? Don't get me wrong, I loved the first season, but the second was the definition of 'Jumping the shark' and the third isn't looking much better. This show needs to end before it gets any worse.

Best in the title???

Yeah the second season blew compared to season 1, but the ending did leave me wanting more. Although I had forgotten all about this until just now, so maybe it wasn't that good.

bingo. I watched this show religiously during season one. I was on before "surface" which I was also into. Anyway, prison break season one was good. They should have saved the big brother and ended the show. Now it's a joke.

Wasnt me bro! (Seriously)

And season 2 was better than season one. Please explain how the show got worse.

You really thought the second season was better? I thought the show lost all of the originality and suspense it had in the first and became a generic action/thriller show - a very uninteresting one at that. Nearly the entire supporting cast was killed off or disposed of for no reason, often just when the character started developing (Tweener), and the series became wrapped up in countless dumb plotlines that went nowhere (T-Bag's hand). Characters became parodies of themselves and the episodes became increasingly formulaic (Michael has an OUTRAGEOUS PLAN ('Trust me!'), but -UH OH- Mr. FBI guy is onto him! Rinse and repeat). By the time the season was over the show had become a chore to watch.

But that's just my opinion. I'll give the third season a chance, but I'm not expecting much.

What'd you all think?

I thought season 2 as a whole was a piece of ****. It had its moments(very few), but overall it was terrible. But i continued to watch because I had already invested a whole seasons worth of time into it...so I gotta see how it all ends.

I kinda liked the season premire. I thought the atmosphere of the "hellish prison" was very well done. I can't even imagine what that would be like. A side note: Are there really prisons like that? I think it has potential to be a good season. The thing is the whole series as a whole is pretty unbelieveable and its all over the place. I mean this has to end soon because its being dragged out too long. I would've been happy to see it be a 1 season thing. It's too bad season 2 sucked because this season seems like it'll be decent but the ****** link between 1 & 3 will ruin it.
