Season one of Prison Break is great television. Here's the set-up. Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell) is framed and wrongfully convicted for assassinating the Vice President's brother. Lincoln's brother Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), who just happens to have designed Illinois' Fox River Penitentiary where Lincoln is on death row, hatches an elaborate escape plan. Michael's plan involves getting himself incarcerated in Fox River and smuggling the prison's blueprints by having them hidden in tattoos that cover his entire torso. Once inside, Michael must form alliances with a rogue's gallery of felons with their own sometimes unsavory motives. Meanwhile, on the outside, Lincoln's lawyer and one-time girlfriend Veronica Donovan (Robin Tunney), pursued by Secret Service agents, attempts to unravel the conspiracy that sent her man to the slammer.
Prison Break is anchored by tight, suspenseful writing clearly relished by the largely little-known cast. Standouts include Robert Knepper as the murderer/pedophile T-Bag, who somehow makes such a despicable character likeable. Stacey Keach of Mike Hammer fame plays the warden-with-a-heart-of-gold, who clashes with Captain Brad Bellick (Wade Williams) over whether to rehabilitate the inmates or makes their lives more miserable. Peter Stormare, famous for his skills with a wood chipper in Fargo, turns in a deliciously menacing performance as mob boss John Abruzzi, while Amaury Nolasco's winsome Fernando Sucre shares a cell and secrets with Miller's Scofield. Watching the show one gets a sense that this is the opening salvo of Wentworth Miller's career, which will doubtless include roles as assassins, detectives, super heroes, and perhaps the champion of staring contests. Midway through the season it's explained that Scofield is a genius with an heightened sensitivity to other peoples' suffering, which sums up what makes the show so great--the mind-bendingly intricate plot is a framework for moments when people make others suffer and cope with the burden of their own suffering.
The six-disc set includes 22 addictive episodes, audio commentary on selected episodes, three featurettes, and alternate and deleted scenes. As with most TV shows on DVD, the "previously on Prison Break" intros can get tiresome, but that's what the fast forward button is for. --Ryan Boudinot

 Excellent PQ July 4, 2008
I haven't had time to really sit down and get into the season yet. But I can tell you that the picture quality is terrific.
Amazing. June 18, 2008

I've been told by many that the best, and most trust worthy place to shop online is amazon.com and after actually buying something from amazon for the first time, I understood how they felt. I received my item in a nice little package. It was in mint condition and I'm loving it so far. I've lent Prison break season 1 to over 3 friends and they've all loved it. No problems with the discs or case whatsoever!
In a vote for yay or nay I vote Hell freaking YAY!
Better than the broadcast quality June 16, 2008

Looks even better than when I watched it on my HD cable box. I think it was 1080i over component video and now it's 1080p over HDMI.
Incredible Show, Incredible Blu-Ray...you'll get hooked May 15, 2008

This television show is superb - both in its writing and acting. I highly recommend this series on Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, this week they announced Season 3 will be on Blu-Ray, but not Season 2. That is disappointing, but maybe they will add the second season if the first 2 sell well.
Fox's use of Master Audio is great and compliments the great video transfer. I highly recommend this Blu-Ray over any other TV show to Blu-Ray.
You'll be hooked for sure!!!
AMAZING TV SHOW / AWESOME TRANSFER !!! January 22, 2008
I saw it on TV while ago... but had nothing to do with this spectacular sound and video. Crystal clear, very good sound, plus deleted scenes and bonus material. A must have on every private colection.
