Had to re-upload this video due to TH-cam age-restricting the original. So whether you're watching this for the first or second time, thanks for the support!
@@RecapAndChill By restricting you mean they gave it a red or yellow dollar? If red then they are ridiculous!
@@MegaKisiel Yep!
@@RecapAndChillJosh I'm pretty new to your channel and just wondering if you've done a TV Series full recap on the hit espionage spy political thriller 24 yet?
@@marvelboi3416 not yet, but it's on my list of shows to cover!
What i learnt from this show is that whenever someone dies theres a 50% chance he survived
lmao
ye the general got his limo blown up while he was inside and still lived with nothing more then a nasty burn on his right cheek then again with Michael and Lincoln’s mum
What the drama means
Make that 70%
You mean 70%.
Show was a literal masterpiece… well atleast until they actually got out of the prison 😂😂
The first six episodes were amazing. I watched everything after just for the hate lols.
It was honestly impressive how far they managed to stretch it.
Even season 2 was very good.
@@Moistvale yeah I just mostly hated how they found convoluted ways to keep characters apart of the story. I felt like they could’ve let a few people die to raise stakes
exactly. the first season is a literall masterpiece, always raising the stakes and keeping the viewer on edge. After that the show pretty much falls apart.
Right
These guys are the TV version of Fast and Furious. From normal everyday people to super spies, its all about family.
Where past villains become allies and nobody dies
Not only that. This series is a prime example on a show that doesnt know when to stop and continues in order to milk it as long as possible. Fast and F. is the same it long forgot that it was a movie about street racing and completly switched to the suppier spy/vilann bs. Its the same with Prison break. They had a good idea and exectuted it but then slippled on the same stupid path and didnt knew when to stop.
THEES IZ PaNuhhhhMaaaaa
😊😊😊😊
@@mowtow90 stop spreading bullshit. F&F was never about 'street racing', street racing was only the theme, the first movie was about policeman inflitrating car gang robbing trucks with valuables. second movie was again about policeman infiltrating drug lord organization - basically the 1st movie but this time set in florida and brian has his childhood friend as a sidekick.
4th movie is also about infiltrating yet another gang, but this time you have plot of dom avenging death of letty. you can make only this many movies about cops infiltrating yet another criminal organization.
5th movie is when shit starts getting supernatural because writers didnt know how to keep up the racing theme without making 5th movie telling the same story, so they came up with bank heist plot and gave the characters supernatural powers to make it more spectacular, therefor more enjoyable to watch.
at this point F&F franchise has completely gone marvel and started doing more and more impossible shit with each movie - but there is nothing wrong with it, fast movies were always ACTION movies where action needs to happen in order for people to watch it, and the thing about movies and prequels is, you have to top the previous movie with better action in the next one. people like you make fun of F&F becoming marvel, but there are milions of people watching it because people like seeing impossible, 'our team against the world' type of shit. if the franchise was shit, noone would watch it. it isnt a stupid path when the franchise is earning them milions of dollars on every movie. you cant have 10 movies about guys driving cars in circles. every movie needs a plot, and street racing isnt a plot, its a theme. stop crying about F&F going marvel, people watch it and enjoy it. creators milk it because thats the primary reason to make movies if you didnt know that - to earn money.
how many plot twist do you want?
YES.
I’m just surprised by how Tbag made it all the way to the very end😭
Maaan for real 🤣
The company has a real problem with loyalty. Who wouldn't betray an organization that throws everyone under the bus for the most minuscule of reasons
Basically the CIA
Prison Break's whole shtick is: "He's dead but he's actually survived" over and over lmao
Can't believe T-bag went to prison more then he was broken out 😂
This show held me hostage until season 4, when I managed to escape. I'm so glad I did, season 5 would have made my head fall off😂
season 5 was amazing
get ready for season 6 its coming xd
@@singlewave805 haha u funny
I had no idea there was a season 5
@@emergensiexitye its kinda pointless could of easily ended at season 4 but they wanted to stretch it for more money if you care about the story then dont watch it
The first two seasons was some of the best television on tv..season 3 and 4 I have no clue wtf they were doing..and season 5? Lord have mercy
s5 was perfect idk what ur on about
Season 5 felt like a cash grab trying to do another prison break.@@hoodfreak
season 4 was trash but i liked season 3 and 5
3 was gonna be good but the writers strike crushed it and S6 of 24….S4 was okay I liked the Scylla plot but the mom and other stuff was meh
@@oyunboldboldbaatar5519 abu ramal was good
I remembered this show out of the blue the other day, but had no interest in rewatching it. All I could remember was how strong the first season was, and how ridiculously convoluted it became afterwards - this is a much better alternative, thank you!
Exactly
I have seen the show twice and just watched this review and I still don't have a clue what's happening after season 2
Same man. Plus my native language isn't English and I have a hard time remembering names of the people. That makes it even worse. I just left the show at Season 3, Episode 6 and came here to see what happens next.
Good to know I saved a lot of time. I'll rather start watching The Witcher😂
@@gusneverdied yeah its just a mess honestly, so many better series out there than season 3-5 prison break
You must have the iq of Forrest Gump then
@@Tom-gy3zg season 3 sucks bro
season 4 was ok, but too many episodes, you would get bored after 10 episodes cuz too many plot twists lmao
season 5 I never watched and still never feel like i want to lol
Same lol. Season 1 was amazing. Season 2 was good! And after that just a big mess
We need a season 6 where Scofield dies, but he finds out Sarah is in trouble on earth, and he has to plot his escape from heaven to come to her aid.
I like how Michaels tattoo's are just gone in that final shot.
They were surgically removed in the beginning of Season 4 in order to prevent people from recognizing him. End of season 5 as well probably.
@@shadowsurounds Ah ok, that explains it! that does ring a bell actually now that you mention it, but haven't watched the show since it originally aired so i was just going off the recap and i don't think that got mentioned, unless i missed it lol.
Thank you for this. I stopped watching after 2nd season and had no idea how show actually ended.
I would give anything to watch this show for the first time again.
This is the best series that ive ever watched. T bag is criminally underrated.. He is a genius in his criminal mindset
You didnt watch too many of them. The first season was really good one, the rest bearly ok with all characters back in life.
The Wire and the Sopranos rule supreme.
@@d.k.9511 wire is absolutely nothing compared to the first 2 seasons of prison break literally no comparison
@@lifeisberserk9566 i agree on that. Lets compare them in football terms. The wire is a Premier league level, the Prison break League one. 😉
@@d.k.9511 literally no episode of wire matched the intensity and entertainment of prison break its the most overrated boring thing I've ever seen
@@lifeisberserk9566 i can just laugh at that. I watch both shows, and the realisam of Wire is touchable, unlike PB. And people who die in the Wire stay dead unlike in PB. They grind cliffhangers more than GoT.
Paul Kellerman and Alexander Mahone's personality were awesome! (Keeping aside the fact that they both were evil during the start.)
Same as brad i hated him but was so sad when he died in the end
@@unknown-ux3vn yeah. Bellick's Character developed throughout the show. But Kellerman and Mahone had the so-called 'Sigma' personality.
@@gusneverdied the hell is that? lol
Man that first season was perfect. Then like a RKO outta nowhere they just started doing anything
I always kinda wondered what happened, how did the story pan out? This is just wow...
Ye the ending where you can hear t-bag straight bumming and killing Poseidon its crazy
Right? After they got Scilla and there was another plot twist I stopped watching. Bellecks sacrifice was a great end to his character and felt so meaningful. Then bam all for nothing??
Only watched the first 2 seasons because people told me after that i should just save my brain from the garbage that follows. And looks like they were spot on
3 is great to and even 4 part 1 is good to simply because of Alex Mahone
@@lifeisberserk9566please..you must be one of those people who watch shows with no insight whatsoever..ask yourself,if season 3 was good,how come a well moneyed and connected organisation like the company needed Michael to break out Whistler when they had resources to even overthrow the government of Panama if they wanted?
@@leonkimathi1985 no I simply enjoyed the prison breaking of season 3
@@lifeisberserk9566 1 and only thing I can agree with you is that the breakout of season 3 was well orchestrated.. even better than season 1 breakout which happens to be everyone's darling.
@@leonkimathi1985 idk when I rewatch it in the future maybe my thoughts on 3 will change some but the first 2 are easily some of the best tv I've ever watched
Season 1 of Prison Break is up there with any season of any show👌🏼
It really was. The only shows that I got the "Oh my god this is a masterpiece" feeling from the first season was Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones (Season 7 and 8 obviously ruined it) and Prison Break. No other shows first season had me as captivated and wanting more than those three did.
Holy shit, this show jumped the shark early
Just finished the entire thing. Although in hindsight season 1 is a level above the rest. The series as a whole is one of the best I’ve ever seen. Mahone, t bag, schofield, burrows, just so many complex and amazing characters that you learn to appreciate along the way. Considering it’s not talked about nearly as much as other classics (Twd, breaking bad, etc.), I have to consider this show severely underrated
It isn't recommended as much as them but its still very popular and thousands have as one of their favorites
some characters are for sure iconic, but all the fake out deaths and villains turning on their employer in the next scene for not always too sound reasons ... the show basically overplayed its hand. All the plot twists which used to make it great, became a cliche and or meme.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want to hate on the show too much, I enjoyed it quite a bit (but breaking bad is simply a tier or two higher).
Because it only has 2 good seasons.
@@hockeyfan145 and those first 2 seasons are some of the most intense and entertaining tv ever
Bellecks death was the saddest part in the show
season one is a masterpiece! season two was also really enjoyable but it just gets fockin nuts after that
I actually loved Seasons 1-2-3, season 4 was meh, but season 5 was a spit into the show's legacy, I prefer to think it didn't happen.
Best series I've ever watched. Great.
I quit this show after Tweener was killed because I got so depressed that the bad guys were always winning and there was so much violence and evil. Little did I know it'd only get worse lol
The first season of the show was really good but then it went off the rails. Season 5 was absolutely bonkers
No seasons 2 and 3 were still amazing season 4 halfway is where it fell hard
Why do you think that?
The plot goes batshit right around season 3 lol
The trajectory of the rest of the show I believe was already decided in Season 2 with the increasing focus towards "The Company", thus broadening of the scope of the show and the unnecessary detour to a Panamanian prison, 😂
But yeah it got even worse in Season 3.
Even though Prison Break is one of my favorite series, they did a horrible job hiding the stunt dummies and stunt doubles 😂😂
This was the first show I actually watched and I love it ❤
Those guys sitting in the grass at the end like we gotta stop doing this shit 😂
This masterpiece doesn't get as much love as Breaking Bad or true detective but imo it's easily on the same level as one of the best shows ever and the most intense show
That's not entirely true. This show was actually SO POPULAR. Almost everyone I knew talked about it back in the 2000s. This show had more audience than Breaking Bad before Breaking Bad was picked up by Netflix.
Prison Break did get the love it deserved, unfortunately it seemed that the creators didn't love it as much as the audience, lol.
@@pedrojuan8050 I know it's popular enough and gets love but I wish more people had it on their best shows list but I've seen thousands give it the love it deserves especially the first 3 seasons some of the best tv of all time the intensity is insane
The show is good but breaking bad is a cinematic genius. The direction is much more advanced and so it the writing. Prison break went downhill after the first 2 seasons...and with the unnecessary amount of cliche plot twists.
@@hairgelmerchant696 but the first 2 seasons were definitely equally as great as seasons 4 and 5 of bb
@@lifeisberserk9566Stop capping one of the stupidest shit for being in the greatest list you have to be flawless start to finish not like ohoh it was good in season 1.
Good damn recap love it thanks
Great show. Better Recap! Keep it up.
Prison break is a masterpiece through n through. Its so enjoyable and gripping that anyone can enjoy it.
If this show stop after it first season it would be one of the greatest TV show ever but then season 2 3 4 and 5 happen 😢
It's already one of the best and most intense shows and first 3 seasons were amazing
@@lifeisberserk9566Season 1 & 2 were amazing. Season 3 fell off and sent the obvious signal that the writers ran out of ideas.
@@pedrojuan8050 to me it was still mostly entertaining and Mahone kept it watchable to season 4
@@pedrojuan8050 but 5 was ass I don't even count it as a season it ended at 4
@@lifeisberserk9566 You might be right. I mean, I stopped watching after one or two episodes of S4 and just continued the plot through reading the Wiki, lol. It got unbearable past S3. Either that or my expectations were too high.
Even season 3 felt like like it was a dream sequence in Michael's head 😂
(could've been a crazy plot twist here).
Man I’m so glad I decided to watch this show… 😮💨😮💨😮💨 one of my favorite shows
21:23 greatest headbutt ever 😂
🤣🤣
Nothing comes close to season1 ❤
2 does equally as amazing
This tv show was pure perfection 10/10
big thank you for that video!❤
Didnt know a 5th season exists lol
I wish I didn't know it existed
No it doesn't it ends at S4 in our minds
One of the greatest TV series of all time
Man i was 9 years old when this show started, used to watch it at my friend's house. Cannot believe that was 20 years ago now my God.
My favorite character is Mahone.He quickly read Michael tricks ❤.
Yesss not sure if you watch power but he gives me cooper sax vibes I'd love the creators of power to add him as a agent to ANY of the books he would be 🔥🔥🔥
WOW!!! SO MANY TWISTS & TURNS!!! GREAT SHOW!!! 😮
I can't believe how much happens during a season lol
After season one, the writers cocaine addiction progresses at the same pace as the story. I’m so glad I stopped after season 1
Heat wave and captain cold??? Wha..... Lol!
Top 3 favorite show of all time
Thx!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
lmao the name of the show is "everybody dies but nobody is dead"
Just watched a 1 hour recap, for one season, to a 20 minute recap for 5 seasons lol
Cheesiness looks off the charts!
Thank you, you saved me three seasons 😂
Real ones know this is a re-upload
Yeah, unfortunately. But thanks for watching again!
Shut up. "Real ones"
@@RecapAndChill What was the problem with the first upload? I loved it.
@@chris.shamblin Not sure 100%, as TH-cam didn't give me a specific reason, but I know they're VERY strict on any video depicting suicide or self harm. So I re-edited the clips and wording used for Abruzzi and Steadman's deaths. Very minor edits overall, but hopefully that resolves the issue.
@@RecapAndChill That is interesting. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your videos and audience.
The actors feel natural to be criminals after watching the flash
just finished watching all 5 seasons after this. 1 week after i saw this video. assolute banger of a show
I remember watching this show, thought it was cool, then slowly diminished... by the end i would joke that, the real prison they're trying to break out of is in their minds.
Season 1 is by far the best season off all the rest.
Don’t even care how convoluted it got I love it
On side note, tea bag would make a great Vegeta 🤣
Best tv show ever 🙌
I jumped ship by season 4. First season remains an absolute classic and the second season has great moments. Third season was serviceable, but they should have called it quits then.
One of my favorite shows, I never got to see the end until now. Thank you.
Thank god I stoped at season 2😂
Please Recap Billions season wise individually 🙏🙏🙏 i need 1-4
This has been one of my favorite shows since I was young, and now I’m rewatching it with my girlfriend who has never watched it. I told her that I think the first two seasons are great, and are worth watching, but that things get wacky in the third. I don’t plan on watching season 3-5 with her, but if she seems interested in it, I might have to suffer through them again lol
now THIS is a synopsis. accurate.
The show was a 10 out of 10 for 3 seasons, then it dropped to 8/10 in season 4.
Season 5 never should have happened.
💯 agree
5 seconds into the season 5 recap and it already jumped the shark Holy shit
Should've really wrapped the stories up in S2 and perhaps Panama could be the setting for the show's movie where Linc and Michael could settle as the cherry on top.
Instead they kept adding more and more characters, story materials, and twists in S2, making it harder to end 😂.
Framing him for the crime he actually committed. *chef's kiss*
I love your channel, what mic are you using and what app do you edit with? I will start a channel
I never knew they had a fifth season! So confusing 😅
It was part of a reboot. They had to milk more money out of the series.
Omg- aren’t these two are Heat wave and Captain Cold in the Flash
Do sons of anarchy please, love your content
Thanks for the recap. I would never have watched this show it's just insane. Why didnt they get arrested at the end for the first prison escape!
Shouldve ended by season 2, it just drags on afterwards
This show was popular for like 3 weeks lmao
You forgot to mention the Prison Break movie that takes place in between season 4 and 5 which is part of the storyline.
This is the best show ever.
So, this show is pretty much the TV version of the Fast franchise?
This video saved ny time
Thanks because I only ended up watching 3 episodes of this lol
da fck? there was a season 5? I never knew about it lol :D
The mother of all series...will go down as legendary for sure
nah, season 5 is shit
I saw this show: when Jacob/Poseidon went to prison, he had this smirk on this face, thinking it would be a short stint. Then T-Bag grabbed him and he started screaming bloody murder, while the other inmates laughed.
This is a Fast&Furious plot
The best suspense thriller show ever
Can we get a recap of the mentalist please
So this is how snart and mick met
This show was way ahead of its time. Even though it’s still iconic I think it would have been way bigger if released later
I can't believe Sarah remarried the villain and was legit fuxkin him for 8 years. Michael Scofield shoulda told his girl he still alive bc woah 😮
Wow thanks
Damn that's the most character deaths- resurrection TV shows of all time 🤣
i think supernatural is crazier ☠️
