The first episode of Prison Break aired last night with mixed reviews. Just to recap… one brother is in prison and the other has to break him out, but there’s a super secret “company” out there that will stop at nothing to kill them both. If this sounds familiar, that’s because season 3 is actually season 1 all over again. I like to call it “The Remix”. Thing is that remixes work great for music, but not so good for TV. This time around, the prison is in Panama, Michael is the one behind bars, and Linc is the the one that has to save his bro.

Ok, so it’s not exactly the same, but pretty damn close. I also find it to be just a little funny how all the same characters from the last two seasons end up in the same remote country and even in the same prison together. Are writers really that hard up for a story line… or are TV fanatics just bored enough where they will watch whatever garbage hits the screen? The shelf life of a TV show like Prison Break should really be thought out in the beginning. End it before it turns to total crap. If you missed last night’s episode, save yourself some time and just watch the season 3 trailer.
