PRISION BREAK. REVIEW.

Back in 2005, when the television industry was beginning to cement the audiovisual heyday that we have witnessed in recent years, a –until then– unknown Paul Scheuring surprised the world with one of the most shocking prison escapes in history, using a dazzling mind to devise the perfect plan.

With a first installment that could well be placed on the universal podium, Prison Break (2005) allowed the Fox network to return to the audience records achieved in the 90s, presenting a plot methodology that stands out for its originality and excellent levels of strain.

Among its qualities, the narrative resources used to keep the viewer's attention active, especially at the end of each episode (known as cliffhangers or cliffhangers), also stand out. This enabled the US channel to average close to 10 million viewers per chapter, throughout the first season.

And although these attributes managed to extend a little beyond the first outcome, the desire to repeat the formula and maintain the semantic relationship of the title (Prison Break = prison escape), ended up turning off a future that could have been much brighter for fans of the drama.
