Summary: What a shame
Comment: I first have to start by saying that I don't watch any episodes of any show on TV, I always wait for the DVD set to watch all of them at once. I was very close to buying this season until I saw the price of $32 for 13 episodes, so I decided to rent it first. Thank GOD it did, because it is SO NOT WORTH BUYING. Season 3 of Prison Break is such a letdown. I am actually happy that their are only 13 episodes in this season. I just don't see how they were gonna drag this stupid plot out for 22 episodes. I can only hope the show gets back on track in Season 4. I have to say I am a very big fan of seasons 1&2, so it pains me to tell you all NOT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY. Save yor $32 and open up an online movie service account. I have a feeling all of the DVD sets this season are going to be to overpriced. For me it's hard because I am one of those "crazy" people who like to own the shows I love, and to see all of the seasons on my shelf in order, so if I can restrain for buying Season 3 of Prison Break, so can you. The only way I will buy this season, is if it under $15.

Summary: Prison Break - The Third Season
Comment: The third season of Prison Break was good television but lacked the key element that existed in seasons one and two and that was Michael's connection to the people around him. In season three Michael is again jailed but with characters that neither he, nor the viewer, really care about. In addition, some characters (not those killed off in the second year of the series)are gone due to the actors' contract disputes and/or accepting spots in other series. Finally, the writer's strike left the series with only half a year and although there is some resolution, overall, it felt weak because it was never intended to be the season finale. Will I buy it? Yes, because it builds hopefully to a better fourth season but as a stand-alone year the third season lacks the plotting quality of seasons one and two.

Summary: Hi my name in Lisa, I'm an addict
Comment: I live about 15 miles east of Joliet Illinois, I only statred watching the show because it was filmed inside THEE prision. I thougt, how cool to be able to see local things on a national TV show. The Blues Brothers was filmed in the same prision. And my hometown, Frankfort IL made an apperance on Michaels credit card statemant on season 2. After watching one show, I was addicted. I could not get enough of it, and I fell in love with all the charters, I miss Sarah. If you have not seen the show start watching now, get caught up, you will not be disipointed. In closing, Wentworth Miller you are so beautifil.

Summary: Short but sweet
Comment: Prison Break season 3 starts off after what happened at the end of season 2.
Michael is in Sona, one of the hardest, toughest, prisons in the world. He was brought there by "The Company" to break someone else out of prison.
This season shows this from beginning to end. (I do not wish to spoil anything)
As far as seasons go, this one is good, 1 was great, 2 expanded on it in ways I didn't think were possible, and 3 sets us back to the core of the show. 3 has several new characters, and returning characters. Everyone in this show is great, near the end I think the writing got a bit shaky, one character in particular became QUITE one-dimensional, I hope season 4 takes things back, and gets stuff going forward.
Sadly, this show was still getting worked on during the writers strike, because of this we only have 13 episodes. But those 13 episodes shine, they shine really bright.
Each episode leaves you at the end dying to know what is going to happen next.
When this season was airing, because of the strike, I was unable to view the season in its entirety due to the schedule being moved around constantly, I was never able to keep track on the last few episodes.
I watched this season in 1 sitting, it is THAT good.
Even though I have previously seen the first few episodes of this season, it did not stop me from being completely engrossed and hooked on each and every episode. I noticed more stuff than I did the first time through when it aired.
This season is brutal, it does not let up. The show looks amazing, the flashbacks especially.
This show is much better than most movies, and well worth the time and price. I highly recommend this purchase.

Summary: Action-packed season!
Comment: I enjoyed this third season more than the previous seasons. I found the acting and storyline much superior than previously. I like all the twists throughout the episodes, keeping one at the edge of his seat. Outguessing the plot can be difficult. This season is also action packed, with every episode offering non-stop action. The way all the characters come together is also fascinating and remarkable, and their motives are unknown. Even the temporary break between Michael and Lincoln over the death of ****** (removed as not to spoil the story) was unexpected.
The inmates inside Sona, the Panamanian prison from where Michael Scofield must escape, were very believable. His escape attempts were well conceived and believable as well. The Panamanian landscape offered an exotic touch to the storyline, different from the maximum-security prison at Fox River.
I really recommend this season, and can't wait for season four.
