Prison Break - Series 1 Vol.1 (DVD)

The first time i saw this show, i did not like it. It took a few episodes for me to get into it and enjoy it.
So it was slow to get going. But once it did, it was great. - good storyline, i cannot wait till part 2 comes out on DVD so i can watch them all again.

Most men would do anything to get out of Fox River Penitentiary, but Michael Scofield will do anything to get in. His brother Lincoln has been sentenced to die for a crime he did not commit, and the only way to save him is from the inside out. Armed with prison blueprints and an impossibly intricate escape plan, Michael gets himself incarcerated, and the race against time is on. Now, he'll need all of the cunning, daring, and luck he can muster... along with the assistance of some of the prison's most vile and dangerous felons.

Finally, the premiere season of television's greatest pleasure (IMO next to 24) is being released in a six-disc package filled with all 22 episodes and tons of extras!

Pick up this set, you will not be disappointed!

One of the best things ever to be put on our screens. An 'edge of seat' drama set in a US Prison. The story tells of one brothers determination to help his convicted brother get out of jail. That may sound pretty 'normal' but Prison Break is far from 'normal'. It has been written with some spectacular imagination with storylines that keep you 'gripped' throughout and in suspence from one episode to the next. One of those programmes where you cannot wait for the next episode......hence the reason why I purchased the DVD, so I can watch as few or as many as I like. I'm sure I will pick up bits I previously missed because this story is so intense and phychologically gripping!
I would recommend this to anyone out there who likes a phycological drama.....thrilling, nail-biting, gripping......absolutely brilliant. I would rate this 11/10.

i have really enjoyed the dvd waiting for the next episode to come out to buy

the episode i have watched were really interesting and the delivery was really quick and i was very pleased with all of the dvd's

AWESOME not alot else to say. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. Well worth watching. Cant wait for season 2

Did not work on any format DVD. Do not buy from this seller. I appreciate this is not an original but I do expect it to at least play

The tension in this series is unbelievable!! I have never known any other series to constantly keep me on the edge of my seat begging for more! If you like cliff-hangers, you will LOVE Prison Break! With more twists than anything and lots of new clever additons to the plot as you go, you cannot help but get hooked!!!
Which brings me to the only problem with this product.....it is only the first 13 episodes of the series!! Nothing could be more frustrating with a program that is full of cliff hangers!!!
My advice:- wait until the second part of the series is out and then save yourself some money by buying it in full. But DEFINATELY buy the series!! You won't regret it!!

I thought that Prison Break was very cleverly written with a new interesting story each episode. I found the series to be addictive and at the end of each episode the plot was always left open wanting you to watch more.

The overall story and idea of Prison Break is very original and I like the idea of him disguising the map of the prison on his body by a tattoo.

FANTASTIC ACTION PROGRAMME WITH A FEW FIT MEN THROWN IN FOR GOOD MEASURE, GREAT VIEWING FOR MEN AND WOMEN ALIKE. THERES ALWAYS A CLIFFHANGER AT THE END OF EVERY EPISODE WILLING YOU TO WATCH THE NEXT ONE. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPPOINTED.

Prison break is television genius. A very educated piece of work, prison break is set inside the walls of a prison, but also from the outside and comes to you from the perspective of the cell mates who are planning to break out. However, this season has as many twists and turns as the inside of the prison itself. Amazing well thought out characters who are very different but all have one thing in common. The want and desire to get out! People from all walks of life join together, although they do not all get on, and have very different reasons for getting out, to help the leader and genius Michael Schofield to make this plan work.
This really is a thriller which keeps you on the edge of your seat at all times. It is a very psychological piece of work and really makes you think, if you like a film which you put together piece by piece then this is something you will love I guarantee you that! The characters all have something unique about them and each have an asset to add to the escape team. Adrenaline rises as it is a race against time before Michael's brother Lincoln gets the electric chair punishment for a crime he didn't commit - or did he?
A heart wrenching story of love, hate, crime and a race against time all pieces together to make this one of the most amazing stories and piece of film I have ever seen.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and a must see! There is something for everyone!

This DVD boxed set arrived promptly and I am delighted with it.
I had heard good reports of the series from friends who had seen it.
It has to be one of the best drama series on T.V. and I have had a lot of pleasure viewing it. I am now looking forward to viewing Series 2 and 3
of Prison Break.

This is the most amazing tv series! The plot is so unpredictable and keeps u at the edge of your seat. Most importantly though, the lead role of Michael Scoffield is played brilliantly by the most gorgeous man ever....Wentworth Earl Miller III. How anybody could dislike prison break is beyond me. The writers are genius! If you havent watched it, its a must! And if you cant follow the plot, just the amount of testosterone on your screen is enough to keep you entertained! There are also some ladies on screen for you fellas out there!
PRISON BREAK: 10/10.

Prison Break is not only a film about breaking out of Prison. All about Michael Scofield who gets caught and taken to Prison just to break out again with his Brother. Easy as that.

The story is about Lincoln Burrows who is framed and wrongfully convicted for assassinating the Vice President's brother.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, pursued by Secret Service agents, attempts to unravel the conspiracy that sent her man to the slammer.

This Film in my eyes is Series of the year. Its a must see and you will not want to put it down. Cant wait for the next Season.

Most men would do anything to escape Fox River Penitentairy...Michael Schofield will do anything to get it.

Michael Schofield is a successful, wealthy, very intellectual man with a good honest life and everything going right for him. Except for one thing... his brother Lincoln is imprisoned for the murder of the Vice President's brother and Michael is convinced he is innocent.

Michael gives up everything to get himself deliberatley imprisoned in the same prison and armed with a copy of the prison's blueprints encoded on his body, Michael makes it his mission to get Lincoln out.

To do this, Michael has to ally and agree to work with some of the countries most dangerous criminals and keep his escape plan secret from the rest of the inmates who have it in for him as well as the guards.

Not only this, but on the outside, government officials will stop at nothing to ensure Linclon's execution goes ahead and elimante anyone who is trying to help him. Who can be trusted and who will be safe throughout the first series of Prison Break??

Prison Break is, in my opinion, the best show on television since 24 began. It's masterfully written and keeps you guessing and always leaves you desperate for more. I highly recommend it, you will not be dissapointed.

This is a brilliant gripping series that everyone needs to watch to see its full potential. The ongoing antics of each character gathers momentum with each episode.

I watched the series on TV, so had to buy the DVD set to re-watch at leisure and share it with friends, who did not see it the first time around.

this is the most fantastic t.v series i have ever watched. with lots of nail biting parts. if you buy this dvd you must buy season 1 part 2 its a dvd must have..

An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!An absolutely compelling amazing piece of televison!!

To be perfectly honest with you, I can not find anything wrong with this Dvd!
Hard to think , I know but it is true!
I watched the whole thing when it was on the television, then bought the DVD and have watched it so many times!
At first you might think it is just another Prison drama but I can assure you that it is everything and more!
This is the type of thing that will have you hooked and gripping to the edge of your seat desperate to find out what happens next!
This is also a good way to catch up on it as the second series is due to start back on the television very soon (autumn, I think)
When they showed it on the tv It would be on at 10pm on a Monday night and then it would be repeated on a tuesday night at 11pm and trust me when I say I watched them both!!
I wont go into actors etc as the picture sells itself.....and the tattoos((((wow)))!
The programme has been very well thought out and leaves you desperate to find out what happens next!
I hope this helps you out!
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy Prison breakl!

when i got this item i was a bit scared to get it because i didn't think it was going to be a real copy because of the prize. i was really happy when i received it and im hoping to get other items like this soon.

we loved watching prison break on the tv as a series, its fantastic viewing, my partner missed afew episode, so for fathers day i decided to get it for him from our little boy, and he was made up with it

I like looking on e-bay for a particular item as there is normally a lot to choose from. On this occasion there was quite a few of the same DVD available so i had quite a selection to choose from. I bid on this one and won it, i bid on it because it was still new, in the box and sealed. I hate copy DVD's and i really dislike it when it is not 100% wether or not the DVD is original. On the whole, love e-bay.

this is one of the best series made, it is full of suspense and never know whats gonna happen next, every series was diffrent and more exciting, only thing i disliked how it ended cause i wanted to see more, gotta wait till next year!

Not a lot more I can say except brilliant best US programme in years.Lots of twists and turns and reveals throught the series. Havent yet seen season 1 part 2 and cant weight.
