Prison Break - Series 1 - Complete (DVD)

Really great action / adventure movie Highly recommended
When reviewing Prison Break it's hard to know where to start. The show premiered in America on the 29th August 2005 and from what I've gathered it's one of those shows that gained cult status. I would love to baby feed you information like the viewing figures however I'm scared to visit Wikipedia for those sort of details because I know full well that America is ahead of the UK with Prison Break's second season and it's one of those shows where if someone ruins something for you, you have to kill them.

To date the DVDs have not arrived. I am awaiting a refund and feel disappointed as this was my first purchase with ebay. I will obviously been nervous about ordering anything else on ebay in the future.

This is definately the best series I've ever watched. It is full of surprises, twists and turns. I will not bother writing anything about the storyline, cause it can be found anywhere; the only thing I have to say is, its totally worth every penny!

If you have never watched Prison Break and you are a fan of American Drama Series, where have you been hiding.

After 5 years of watching programs like 24, where the concept is getting a bit "old" now, along came Prison Break providing a unique storyline, a different twist to the government conspiracy stories and edge of your seat eposide, each time without fail.

Right from the first eposide you connect with our Hero and his passion to prove the innocent of his brother, through any means possible. With more hurdles put in his way then an Olympic Event and a timescales that is fast approaching, you will find yourself screaming at the screen in a vain bid that it will assist in his plight.

This is not just a show, this will turn into a passion and an essential part of your viewing life

This is by far the best new show aired on British television for years - If you are a fan of drama and crime shows such as The Sopranos and 24, then i would strongly recommend this show - the plot is riveting and keeps you right on the edge of your seat and unlike Lost (which i "lost" interest very quickly)

I came to Prison Break through the DVDs and I am grateful that I did. It is compelling viewing and if I had to watch it on a weekly basis my nerves would have been shot to pieces. Luckily with the DVDs I could watch over a weekend without biting my nails down too far. By the end of episode one you realise that it's fine to root for some of the bad guys because they are only bad through circumstances.

Michael is a genius and Wentworth Miller plays him so very well. I immediately recognised him from an episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. The most chilling bad guy is T-Bag, I sat through each of his scenes praying that someone would put him out of his misery but secretly glad that he was still around as I love to hate him.

I was surprised when I discovered that the actor who plays him (Robert Knepper) appeared in the episode of Star Trek: TNG as Deanna Troi's betrothed. What a transformation. Kudos to Mr Knepper for creating such a sleazeball character.

The scariest part of this series is the Government conspiracy. You can't help feeling that Michael and his brother are fighting a losing battle as the bodies pile up. If you like your drama tense then this is a must see.

This series should have a health warning; far too addictive! I can't quite believe how it captures you and leads you to total insomnia! Just one more episode, just one more...

Time rushes by and i have work soon but theres far too much going on to stop watching, twists, turns, sub plots, great characters, the series well up on all time greats with sopranos, 24 etc.

JUST TWO WORDS OF ADVICE...WATCH IT!

I just love the "edge of your seat" factor that it has. You never quite know what is going to happen next, there are twists in every episode. The acting is brilliant, and it doesn't hurt that there is a bit of eye candy!

If you've never seen the programms you've got to get the dvd's or you'll have missed out. In my opinion this is the best written program you'll ever watch. The writer is always one step ahead of you, you 'll think you've sussed out whats going to happen but i guarantee you'l be wrong. This is the best dvd set you'll ever own ( apart from season 2 of course when its released ). If you buy it your bound to in enjoy, i can't see how anyone couldn't.

Missed the first series so was dying to see it all in full. Well worth it loved every minute of it.

i brought this dvd set as i didn't see any of the first series, and i wanted to see how it all started,how the brothers ended up in jail and who was against them getting out and why they needed to escape.
well worth watching.

i HAD BEEN WATCHING THIS AS A SERIES ON THE TELLY, UNFORTUANTLY MOVING ABROAD MEANT I COULDNT WATCH IT ANYMORE. oNCE IT WAS RELEASED ON DVD I COULDNT AFFORD IT AT ITS HIGH SELLING PRICE, SO THANKFULLY FOUND IT ON EBAY.
tHE SERIES IS SO HEART RACING AND 'ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT' KINDA THING.
i'D RECOMMEND ANYONE TO WATCH IT.

Completely addictive series, Wentworth Miller is the latest new star, and all the women now have pics of him on their phones etc, a tale with lots of twists and turns, the type of program that can be watched by both men and women with out the chick flick factor.

if you read this soon then prison break is fantasic..if your lucky enough to watch americas 1st then you get to see it first....a must see!

Totally engrossing.
There's a reason why everyone is going nuts about it, and why people are getting sky subscriptions just to watch the third season..

This is one of those things you hear about, try to be cool and resist watching it, but when you finally give in and find out what all the fuss is about, you'll want to watch it again and again!

Awesome series, schofield is a genius, he keeps you guessing all throughout each episode. Its nail biting stuff when you think someone has found out what theyre up to and theyre almost discovered but schofield is such a fast-thinker that he saves the day. I am actually watching series 3 now and its one of those series that gets better and better!

To be honest, i had heard people talking about prison break and I had pretty much dismissed it in my head - i thought it would be one of those generic "escape from alcatraz" shows but after watching half an hour of the first episode i was on the band wagon. The writer really has excelled himself, It tells a really gripping tale that will have you scrambling off the sofa for the next disc. You really find yourself getting involved with the characters and willing them to escape. The suspense in some of the scenes is just gripping, I almost broke out in a sweat just watching it.The plot is so immaculate and intense that its hard to break down into words, all i can say is you will be begging for your next fix once youve watched the first series:D

A cracking series, did not watch them when they were on but bought season 1 and 2 and watched them incredibly quickly as could not stay away, just need to get season 3 now

Prison Break is up there with Lost and 24. Any fans of these series will love Prison Break.

And it's not just about trying to get out of a prison!! There is much more to this than you realise. Try the first episode you won't be able to stop watching.

I'm on the 3rd Series - 2 episodes in and it's still fantastic viewing.

Watch it - u won't regret it!!

I started watching this from the very first episode and it just keeps getting better! It always has me on the edge of my seat and keeps me guessing what will happen next.........even though i always get it wrong!! I would highly recommend this to anyone as ithink it is suitable for all types of people, but be warned once you start to watch its addictive and very hard to wait a week til the next episode

Loved this series of Prison Break, you think they cannot think of another cliff hanger after every episode there seems to be one. Great mix of everything, they even make the prisoners hunan after a while and except for the odd one or two you actually think why are they in prison..... obviously Wentworth should never be in there.... personally, dont think his brothers worth it,,, having watched the whole first series now onto 2nd series.,, nail biting all the way.

items was returned to sellar as is was a fake and did not work in my dvd player. had not been put off by purchasing items from ebay, but will be more selective in the future.

I THOUGHT TO MYSELF I WANNA BUY PRISON BREAK
THE DVDS WER PIRATES WHICH IS ILLEGAL
6 DISKS 3 OF THEM DONT WORK

HAVING BOUGHT THE ITEM AND HAD SWIFT SERVICE I LEFT GOOD FEEDBACK......THE DVDs TURNED OUT TO BE COPIES FROM THAILAND, AND THE MEMBER OF MY FAMILY WHO WAS GIVEN THIS AS A PRESENT FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY, LATER REPORTED THAT NONE OF THE DISCS PLAYED.

A VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE FOR ME !!!!

THE EBAY MEMBER WHO AUCTIONED THIS HAS NOT RETURNED ANY COMMUNICATIONS DESPITE ADVERTISING THAT GOODS CAN BE RETURNED IF THE BUYER IS NOT HAPPY WITH THEM

A CHILLING REMINDER OF WAITING TO BE CERTAIN ON THE CONDITION OF GOODS PRIOR TO LISTING FEEDBACK ...........DIFFICULT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
