Linc’s still tough and impulsive. Michael still has that lonely middle-distance stare. Tuesday’s opener suggests there’s plenty of action ahead, some real-world parallels, and a shaggy dog that could lead us to an interesting place. Hopefully that place will finally be closure.
The short run makes the new incarnation of Prison Break action-packed, with just enough down time for the characters to ponder what’s happening to them.

I loved it - the short run meant that it the story was quick and action packed and it kept you guessing all the way through. It had all the twists and turns you've come to expect from Prison Break and every episode left me hanging for the next. It was fantastic to have such an awesome show back on TV.

SEASON 5
It's great to see Prison Break again, I thought the ending to season 4 was perfect and was skeptical about this new season, but the story up until now (episode 7) has been interesting and kept me watching the same as I did when watching seasons 1-4. Great acting and directing as always, on the edge of your seat stuff, the big question is how does it all end and how will it compare to the original ending they had! Recommended

SEASON 5
Despite ingredients that probably sound hackneyed and unoriginal, Prison Break eventually does find a little spark in season five.
Although there's an initial kick as the writers reintroduce the various players -- including the ruthless T-Bag (Robert Knepper) Sucre (Amaury Nolasco) and T-Bone (Rockmund Dunbar) -- there's a willy-nilly quality to it all, like a high-school reunion where, after the greetings, there's not very much to say.
The show remains crazy in its plotting, but it does move at a quick clip, fast enough that some viewers will forgive it for some obvious twists and turns. ... Other than an effort to goose ratings with the return of a familiar title, is there really any creative reason for more “Prison Break”? Probably not.
In its new miniseries incarnation, it wants to be a dumb show, full of clichés, that has something to say, and you’d be surprised how easily that tilts over into outright offensiveness.
It's utter nonsense. Mind-numbingly stupid. Worse yet, it's a bore.
Love the show, the talent from the last show is in this one, I can't wait to see what happens in the show, and I hope they keep on going. I don't understand why people don't like it.

SEASON 5
I was waiting for this season because I really hated the ending of 4th season.
First and Second seasons are the best third was ok, 4th was BAD.
****'s OK, the "prison breaking" part is very tiny and only 9 episodes?
Episode 5,6,7 can be stitched together and there are so many plotholes!
I liked it more than 4th season but this one needed either better prison breaking story or more episodes.
Desert scenes were unnecessary long

SEASON 5
It's sad to see a franchise that should have stayed dead being brought back to life for this display of mediocre attempt of making money. It's soulless and uninteresting.
