What's so great about Prison Break?

Prison Break is one of my favourite TV series ever. Well, mainly the first season! I didn't get that hooked on it at first, but the 6th and 7th episodes (Riots, Drills and the Devil) blew me away for good.

The show has a superb and convincing cast — my favourite is Robert Knepper who brings chilling realism to the series' chief bad guy T-Bag. I also like the steely eyed Wentworth Miller as the charismatic Michael Scofield, and Peter Stormare shines as the prison mob stooge John Abruzzi. However, all the characters are very interesting and well-written.

The fantastic and gripping scripting never slackens its pace and features numerous twists and turns that kept me glued to the screen. Even when I knew something would happen, it didn't stop me from sitting on the edge of my seat the whole time.

The most interesting aspects of the show are the complex characters and the intricately plotted escape plan. I also love the tension between the cons that have to work together in order to break out.

My favourite character is T-Bag. He's one of the most compelling, interesting and charismatic villains ever. At the same time he's very creepy, intimidating and chilling yet extremely charming and funny. It's probably this contradiction that makes him so intriguing.

His voice, his accent, his looks, his mannerisms and his personality make a magnetic combination that completely seduces you even if you didn't want to admit it.

Robert Knepper brilliantly plays his character on so many levels that his performance is as equally mesmerizing as it is disturbing. He's able to humanize T-Bag without taking it to a level of empathy.

When it comes to addictive, thrilling television, nothing can beat the first season of Prison Break.
