Shaun Munro reviews the season finale of Prison Break season 5… Prison Break’s fifth season concluded with an energetic but horribly-written finale that spent most of its time typifying everything wrong with this brutally truncated nine-episode event series. Things kicked off with an alternate perspective of the previous episode’s final moments, revealing not-so-surprisingly that Van Gogh was […]

Shaun Munro reviews the eighth episode of Prison Break season 5… Prison Break‘s penultimate episode hit the ground running from minute one, frantically darting all over the place in order to set up the chess-board for next week’s finale. Beginning “somewhere in the Mediterranean”, Michael, Lincoln, Whip and Sucre quickly found their way to Marseilles, and before long […]

Shaun Munro reviews the seventh episode of Prison Break season 5… “Wine Dark Sea” may have felt relatively low-energy at times compared to Prison Break‘s last few action-packed episodes, but as we enter the season’s third act, it also got things well and truly moving with Mike and co. finally leaving Yemen, presumably for good. […]

Shaun Munro reviews the sixth episode of Prison Break season 5… The walls well and truly close in this week as ISIL hunts down Michael and co., and having run out of contingencies, the master tactician is forced to do the one thing he hates; improvise. Unsurprisingly, their first escape attempt ends up a bust thanks to […]

Shaun Munro reviews the fifth episode of Prison Break season 5… With “Contingency”, Prison Break‘s fifth season reaches its half-way point, and mercifully hits the ground running after last week’s shock reveal that Sara’s husband Jacob just might be the shadowy puppet-master Poseidon. Refreshingly, writer Vaun Wilmott doesn’t force the audience through perfunctory scenes where Sara disbelieves T-Bag’s revelation […]

Shaun Munro reviews the fourth episode of Prison Break season 5… The second act of the Prison Break revival kicks off with ISIL’s reach expanding in Yemen, causing Ogygia’s prisoner contingent, led by Cross (TJ Ramini), to panic and plan to take terrorist leader Abu Ramal hostage as a bargaining chip, much to Michael’s chagrin. […]

Shaun Munro reviews the third episode of Prison Break season 5… “The Liar” signals the end of the Prison Break revival’s first act, as Michael and co. stage an escape attempt from Ogygia, and if you don’t know where all this is heading by episode’s end, you probably haven’t watched enough Prison Break. This week, tension ratchets […]

Shaun Munro reviews the second episode of Prison Break season 5… After Michael spent 99% of last week’s season premiere in the shadows, he’s thrust at the viewer from the opening moments of episode two as he readies another hilariously convoluted plot to save the day. Smart and admirable though it is that “Kaniel Outis” is […]

Shaun Munro reviews the first episode of Prison Break season 5… Some eight years after the show’s original run wrapped up, Prison Break has been resurrected by Fox amid their current obsession with nostalgic retreads, reuniting most of the principal cast members with series creator and writer Paul Scheuring. For better and indeed for worse, the new limited […]
