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 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 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.

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.

Smart and admirable though it is that “Kaniel Outis” is […]

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.

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.
